Wearing heels for a long time can be so tiring, especially when you’re going to the Oscars.
But Melissa McCarthy has found a new way to avoid pain!
According to the E! Live from The Red Carpet special correspondents, via Bustle, Melissa used CBD oil on her toes before enjoying the Oscars.
They didn’t ask in detail about why, but they guessed she did it to help prevent foot pain. Because of heels. (It should be noted, though, that Melissa and her husband, Ben Falcone, changed into matching Adidas tracksuits for the Vanity Fair after-party—because comfiness is key.
)
She’s not the only one who tried this trick: Several stylists keep their pre-Oscars kits with CBD oil like Lord Jones Body Lotion to rub on their clients’ feet before they put on their red carpet heels, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
“Several studies show that CBD reduced chronic pain with muscle spasms, arthritis, and nerve pain,” Taz Bhatia, MD, an integrative health expert, Dr.
Bhatia referenced a 2012 study in the Journal of Experimental Medicine and a 2016 study in the European Journal of Pain, both of which found reduced chronic pain or arthritis pain levels with CBD.
Timothy Welty, PharmD, chair of the department of clinical sciences at Drake University’s College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, however, said that CBD oil might only help as pain-relieving medications (like Tylenol or Advil) and “likely doesn’t control pain” on its own.
According to experts that it’s possible that some of the benefits are due to a placebo effect, meaning merely thinking that it will help your foot pain actually helps make the pain go away.
CBD oils and creams made with emu oil or coconut oil, Joel Greengrass, CEO of Theramu, a company that makes CBD oils and creams. According to Greengrass, those oils penetrate your skin and give CBD to aching muscles better than olive oil.
