SPA TREATMENTS
Cannabidiol Oil has been in the headlines for its healing properties and pain management. La Rue Verte have launched a range of products featuring CBD oil. The Spa at The Blythswood is the first to offer treatments using the oils in Scotland, the aim of which is to bring a sense of calm to your mental and physical wellbeing.
After a consultation with my therapist Kim, I was asked to highlight any points on my body I wanted to target during the massage through reflexology body mapping. Kim applied the CBD balm during the massage with special attention to the areas I had highlighted. Each treatment aims to alleviate inflammation and pain as well as non-physical pains such as anxiety and mood.
I suffer from various aches and pains, and I could feel a warming tingling sensation during the massage. Afterwards not only did I feel relaxed but also in good spirits so it did lift my mood especially after a hard day at the office. They also offer a CBD facial (£89, for 55 minutes) and CBD bath (£49, for 30 minutes).
As if you aren’t relaxed enough, afterwards you can enjoy a thermal experience, a series of rooms designed to take your body on a wet and dry, and warm and cold journey, which is great for the pores. Or jump in the pool for a swim or have a sauna or a visit to the steam room.
La Rue Verte body massage, 55 minutes, £94. For full details call 0141 248 8888 or email spa@kimptonblythswoodsquare.com. Rooms at the hotel start from £120 per night www.kimptonblythswoodsquare.com
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
