CBD Oil – What are the Benefits and Uses
Questions and Answers for CBD
CBD Oil – What are the Benefits and Uses. First of all, let’s answer the question …
WHAT IS CBD?
Plain and simple – CBD is short for cannabidiol. It is just one of several different molecules known as cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. They are what are used in making the oils, creams, tinctures and serums.
I just want to add before going any further, that as a caregiver, I can attest the CBD oils and ointments work. I’ve applied the ointments directly on sore joints and muscles for my patients, who in turn get relief within 30 minutes. They love the products and how it eases their pain. That being said …
WHICH CBC OIL SHOULD I USE – OILS WITH or WITHOUT THC (tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) – the part of the cannabis plant that gets you high). There are a few types of CBD oils that you can get today – ones with a trace amount of THC or ones without.
FULL SPECTRUM will contain THC in trace amounts – .3% so there is no psychoactive effect from taking the CBD products – you WILL NOT get high
BROAD SPECTRUM – lacks THC, but they do contain other cannabinoids and cannabis compounds like terpenes (aromatic compounds that may have therapeutic benefits) and flavonoids (naturally found is different plants that may also have therapeutic benefits).
CBD ISOLATE – contain just the single CBD compound by itself. However, these products are considered to have inferior efficacy when compared to full spectrum CBD products
BENEFITS OF CBD SOAPS, SERUMS, OINTMENTS AND CREAMS
WHAT IS CBD OIL GOOD FOR?
CBD oil has a potential role in easing many common health issues like anxiety, depression, stress, acne and heart disease. It may even provide a natural alternative for pain and symptom relief for those with cancer.
IS CBD GOOD YOUR SKIN?
CBD is rich in vitamins A, C and E, which are really good for your skin. It is also said that that skin care products like soaps, serums and creams, infused with CBD can also clear acne to reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This is possible by improving the production of collagen, making the skin and muscles firmer and connective tissue and bones stronger.
IS CBD OIL GOOD FOR HAIR?
CBD oil is rich in fatty and amino acids, it may be beneficial to your hair and nails, too.
OINTMENTS vs TINCTURES
CBD Ointments, Lotions and Balms are a safe, easy-to-use topical agent that can be applied to almost any bodily area to relieve pain full joints and other problems like soreness, inflammation, and irritated skin. Effects are usually felt within 15 to 45 minutes.
CBD Tinctures (liquids) are usually taken sublingually (under the tongue) which makes it absorb directly into your bloodstream. With this method you get quicker results by allowing the mucus membranes in your mouth to absorb the compounds. Hold the tincture under your tongue for 60 to 90 seconds before swallowing.
WHAT ARE THE BEST WAYS TO TAKE CBD?
- Vaping – is the most effective CBD delivery method. It involves inhaling a vaporized oil preparation.
- Capsules – allows the CBD to travel farther down the digestive tract to address tissues deeper in the system.
- Sublingual – using a tincture and holding it under your tongue for 45-60 seconds.
- Transdermal Topical – This is a patch applied to the skin.
- Topical – This is a hand cream, balm or some other product applied to the skin. The great thing about high-concentrate CBD balms is that you can often feel the difference in just a few minutes. The key is to thoroughly rub it into the skin on the area where you feel pain or have inflammation.
- Edibles – anything you eat containing CBD.
So there you have them – the full deets on CBD oil – a product I definitely recommend if you’re experiencing health issues like the ones stated above, and especially if you’re having joint and muscle pain. And as I stated above, that as a caregiver, I have rubbed the ointments on my patients sore joints and muscles. They absolutely love the products !!
