So, what are infused oils, and why should you start using them?
What Are Infused Oils?
Herbs are potent gifts of nature that can heal your body and aid in relief. Infused or macerated oils aim to extract the botanical properties of herbs into carrier oils to enhance their benefits.
Infused oils are potent alternatives to essential oils used for aromatherapy and massages in the spa. They can induce extraordinary benefits to users. So why switch to infused oils for spa treatments? Well, lets us discuss five reasons why infused oils make your spa experience better.

1. Gentle On The Skin
Essential oils play a vital role during aromatherapy. They create a calm and comfortable environment for the massage and provide extraordinary benefits to the skin. But one of the most common misconceptions about using essential oils on the skin is applying them directly. Spas treatments use concentrated essential oils with a proper carrier oil to suit your skin and benefit it.
Infused oils are amazing choices for your skin in this case. These oils infuse the extracts from the herbs and are not as concentrated as essential oils. They contain lower levels of the herbal infusion and are light and gentle on the skin.

2. Elevated Benefits
Take Cannabis-infused oils, for example. More spa treatments are exploring the benefits of infusing CBD into massage oils for elevated benefits.
Infusing high-quality cannabis (marijuana or hemp) herb from a weed store into potent carrier oils such as coconut oil or Borage seed oil can have elevated benefits. The infusion can elevate the benefits of the base oils and offer an intense soothing and pain-relieving experience. Light textured CBD infused oils will improve the efficiency of high friction massage techniques and give extraordinary relaxation.
Bringing together the right combination of herbs and carrier oils for focused applications such as pain relief, relaxation, and treating skin problems is easy and effective in the case of infused oils.
3. Fresh Custom Mix
Using infused oils in your spa routines will allow you to experiment with a new combination of herbs that are fresh and ready to use after an infusion compared to ready-made essential oils.

Using herbs such as chamomile, rosemary, and basil can give excellent benefits after massage and are also easy to use directly without the need for any dilution. The fresh infusion makes it more potent and appropriate for both aromatherapy as well as herbal oil massages. The liberty also extends to choosing different types of base oils depending on the type of massage technique.
4. Chemical Free
One of the most significant advantages of switching to infused oils for the spa is eliminating chemical traces. Chemical residues from processed oils could damage the skin.
Spas use cold-pressed oils to prepare an infusion with the best quality of herbs, which negates the possibilities of chemical traces in the body oils. The end product is fresh and of premium quality that can nourish your skin and elevate overall health.
5. More Variety and Cost Efficient
Infused oils are a cost-effective option, especially to infuse some rare herbs. Not all plants contain essential oils. Hence, it makes procuring such essential oils difficult and makes them expensive. Also, some plants do not contain essential oils, such as in the case of Calendula.
