How To Use CBD Oil: Ultimate Guide

So, you know almost everything about cannabidiol (also known as CBD) and are considering giving it a try. It's logical. This natural chemical component is causing a stir in the food and wellness industries since it is supposed to help with anxiety, arthritis, pain reduction, menopause symptoms, and sleeplessness, to mention a few.

So, you've decided to give it a shot. What's next? You have a lot of options when it comes to how to take CBD oil. There are so many possibilities out there, from tinctures and topicals to smoothies and coffee blends. Are you unsure where to begin? That's where we come in: use our CBD oil guide to figure out the best way to take CBD oil.

What is the best way to take CBD oil?

While there are various ways to consume CBD oil, the oil's effectiveness is determined by its strength. Put five CBD oil drops under your tongue and keep them there for 30-60 seconds three times a day with our 250mg CBD Oils (a fantastic beginning point). You can, however, go wild and add your drops in anything from a smoothie to a juice to your morning cup of coffee. CBD is also supposed to help with the effects of coffee.

You can use CBD oil in several ways:

• In a tincture

A tincture is a combination that you take via dropper or spray directly into your mouth. You can take CBD oil by placing it straight beneath your tongue. Drop a CBD capsule beneath your tongue and hold it there for a minute before swallowing.

• In a capsule

CBD oil also comes in pill form, an excellent alternative for folks who wish to keep their CBD levels consistent in their bodies. HOWEVER, when CBD is consumed, it travels through the digestive system, which means you may have to wait up to 30 minutes before feeling any effects.

• In a smoothie

Some CBD oil combinations have a robust and earthy flavour. It's not for everyone, and many people choose to cover it up with other, more delectable ingredients. Another option to get CBD is to include half a teaspoon in your morning smoothie for a relaxing start to the day.

• In coffee

If only there were a way to harness the energizing effects of coffee without the jitters. Oh, wait, there's one! An increasing number of CBD coffee products are on the market, claiming that infusing coffee beans with CBD reduces the anxiety that caffeine can induce. That smooths out the 'lift' that your coffee gives you; it takes the edge off. Alternatively, try dairy-free milk infused with CBD to conveniently adjust your dosage while still allowing you to enjoy your favourite coffee blend.

• In a salad dressing

Isn't it now that we're talking about the same thing? Incorporate a few drops of CBD oil into your everyday culinary routine to get a slew of health benefits with little effort. Begin with three to four tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of half a fragrant lemon, two teaspoons of CBD, and salt and pepper to make a tasty and nutritious salad dressing.

• In a vape pen

Okay, this one might seem a little alarming, but vape pens are simple to use and create little smoke so that they can go undetected. The advantage of using a vape pen to take CBD is that it enters the lungs and quickly enters the bloodstream when it is inhaled. It's worth noting, though, that the long-term safety of vaping is uncertain.

• In sweet treats

CBD is so versatile that you can bake it into almost anything, which is why you'll find it in anything from cookies and brownies to gummies and caramel sweets. Sweets are convenient to carry in a bag on the move, whereas baked products may need to be refrigerated to keep the CBD fresh (or devoured before they go wrong?).

• In a topical rub or balm

CBD is frequently mixed with aromatic coconut oil or beeswax in the form of a balm or rub, making it easier to apply to the skin (and making your body smell great too). CBD can reach local targets, such as aching muscles or joints when applied topically. It's also been said to help with menstruation pain.

• In a cocktail

If you're feeling very fancy, look for a CBD cocktail. According to rumours, you may order The Mr. Nice Guy in San Diego, a vodka and mezcal mixed drink with CBD. 

Should I Keep CBD Oil Refrigerated?

It would help if you didn't do it. It's best to keep it cool without getting too chilly by keeping it in a dark spot like a pantry or cupboard.

Is it better to drink CBD oil or rub it on my skin?

Whichever you'd like! As previously said, CBD oil can be added to several drinks or applied to the skin as a topical balm. For aching joints or muscles, though, rubbing it into your skin is preferable.

What Does CBD Oil Do When It's Put Under the Tongue?

It is one of the various ways your body can absorb CBD oil — as we discussed before, your tongue is capillary-rich. Therefore the CBD will reach your bloodstream fast through this route.

How Frequently Should I Use CBD Oil?

This varies from one to another, and if in doubt, always seek medical advice. We recommend beginning with one of our 250mg CBD bottles and taking five drops three times each day. You'll be able to determine better whether you should increase or decrease your CBD dosage once you've learned how it affects your body (as long as you don't go over 70mg per day!).

Bottom Line

CBD oil is known for its possible involvement in reducing the symptoms of various common health diseases, such as anxiety, depression, acne, and heart disease. It also acts as a natural alternative for pain and cancer symptoms.

We are still trying to find evidence of CBD oil for its possible positive health effects. So, you are bound to see new therapeutic applications for this natural element. Though there is still much to understand about CBD's efficacy and safety, new research suggests that CBD could be a safe and effective natural treatment for various ailments.
