What is CBD?
CBD-or cannabidiol oil-is a natural product made from the stems and leaves of the hemp plant, which is a relative of hemp. It contains at most a trace amount of the psychoactive cannabinoid THC, so it will not "get higher" among consumers. For this reason, this natural product is often used as a dietary supplement by those who wish to incorporate CBD into their lifestyle.
It does not contain the same vitamins and nutrients as pressed hemp seed oil, but it is still a beloved and increasingly popular health supplement.
CBD oil is often referred to as "hemp oil".
What are the benefits of CBD?
Compared with THC, there is much less research on CBD in the clinical setting. However, more and more evidence shows that the drug itself has obvious medical effects. This allows it to be used as an antipsychotic.
As part of a more practical daily consumption, CBD seems to improve sleep cycles (better sleep quality), as well as reduce anxiety and stress and have an anti-inflammatory effect.
This is why it has become popular as a general dietary supplement while being consumed for specific reasons.
All our oils are made from the fiber and seeds of the alfalfa L variety.
Our CBD oils are legal because they do not contain THC.
What are the effects of CBD?
In addition, although it acts on the body's endocannabinoid system, it seems to act differently on its receptors, even though some of its benefits are similar to THC.
Unlike THC, CBD does not directly stimulate CB1 or CB2 receptors, but it seems to activate other receptors-especially receptors: "vanillin, adenosine and serotonin", which can then directly regulate the cannabinoid receptor effect.
The vanilloid receptor or "TRPV" regulates pain, body temperature, and inflammation.
Adenosine receptors regulate blood flow and appear to reduce the effect of THC on cannabinoid receptors.
"Serotonin" receptors regulate the reception and function of neurotransmitters (which affect mood).
Since CBD is still being researched, new aspects of its effect on our system are constantly being discovered.
What can I use CBD for?
CBD has anti-inflammatory and anti-epileptic effects.
Therefore, it is used to help supplement the treatment of movement disorders, chronic pain and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). It is also often used to combat the psychological effects of THC.
However, it should be noted that although the research is active, many countries do not regard CBD as a drug.
Is CBD safe?
Yes.
The only known toxins in CBD come from the production of plants and all substances (pesticides and additives used to atomize liquids, oils and other consumables) that enter the production process.
Therefore, it is best to check the reputation of the supplier. It is always better to have a completely natural product like Grow The best of nature.
Are there any known side effects?
No cannabinoid has known side effects. However, it is best to consult your doctor before taking CBD for medical purposes. According to reports, the most common side effect of CBD consumption is the suppression of saliva production, which leads to the unpleasant feeling of dry mouth. High-dose CBD can also change or neutralize certain enzymes and change the metabolism of certain drugs in the body. Finally, our products do not contain THC, so they are legal and considered food supplements.
Although CBD rarely causes any problems, there are some side effects that require attention. Side effects are more common in higher doses or sensitive individuals. Side effects in CBD include:
- Changes in appetite
- Mood changes
- diarrhea
- Dizziness
- drowsiness
- Dry mouth
- fatigue
- nausea
- Vomit
How do I use CBD?
Internal—
inhalation in the form of CBD oil, capsules, gummies or food—in the form of raw twist or e-cigarette pen and oil
topically—
injection in the form of CBD creams, lotions and patches —intraperitoneal or intravenous injection (medical only Uses)
Intravaginal or rectal—
The most common way to use CBD in the form of CBD suppositories is to take it orally in the form of CBD oil or CBD gummies. CBD creams and CBD vape pens are also very popular.
How does CBD feel?
The impact of CBD is subtle. It is non-psychoactive, which means that CBD will not excite you-however, it will give you a slight "fuzzy" feeling.
The relaxing effect of CBD can make you feel as if you are floating or hovering. Your body may feel lighter or heavier, while your mind will feel loose and relaxed.
The higher the dose of CBD, the stronger these effects-but even very high doses (over 100 mg) will not produce strong enough effects to excite you.
Some people describe the effects of CBD as producing the feeling of autonomous driving. It feels like your body reacts automatically without much conscious thinking. When this happens, you are still in complete control and your mental state remains clear.
Some people may find that high doses of CBD make them feel sleepy or tired. This is especially common in CBD products, which contain high concentrations of related cannabinoids called cannabinol (CBN), which is a strong sedative.
What are the most common reasons for using CBD?
Despite the many benefits of CBD, there are seven applications that make up about 80% of CBD use cases:
Pain relief-arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraine, multiple sclerosis, neuralgia, premenstrual syndrome pain, sickle
Symptomatic anemia Inflammatory diseases-DOMS muscle pain, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis to
relieve stress and anxiety-anxiety, chronic fatigue syndrome
sleep support-insomnia, anxiety and
depression and mood disorders-double Affective disorder,
joint pain and anxiety in pets with obsessive-compulsive disorder -arthritis, postoperative recovery, hip pain, separation anxiety,
skin inflammation-psoriasis, eczema
How does CBD relieve pain?
CBD prevents pain by inhibiting the inflammatory process, regulating pain receptors and promoting faster recovery of damaged tissues.
The effect of CBD on pain is rapid onset, usually taking effect within 45 minutes after use (faster for vaped or smoked CBD products), and lasts about 4 to 6 hours.
The more you use CBD, the greater its impact on pain.
The immediate effect comes from its ability to activate receptors that regulate spinal pain. The more you use CBD, the greater its impact (due to its restorative benefits).
How does CBD relieve anxiety?
CBD relieves anxiety by targeting several independent mechanisms related to neurological hyperactivity.
CBD has been shown to promote GABA activity in the brain-it is responsible for calming the brain. It is like the brake pedal of the brain, slowing down when it becomes anxious.
CBD can also regulate the production of serotonin and dopamine, relax the tense muscles of the neck and shoulders, promote restorative sleep, and reduce the level of cortisol in the blood.
The benefits of CBD for anxiety disorders take about 30 to 45 minutes to take effect and last about 4 to 5 hours.
The best CBD oil for anxiety disorders is made from a full-spectrum hemp extract, using organic hemp, and providing a relatively high concentration of CBD per bottle (at least 500 mg per ounce).
How does CBD help me fall asleep?
CBD can help you fall asleep by reducing common causes of insomnia, such as anxiety, chronic stress, or pain.
It is important to combine sleep with adequate sleep hygiene. This involves other lifestyle changes that can be used to support healthy sleep cycles.
Some examples of proper sleep hygiene include:
- Avoid computer or mobile phone screens at least one hour before going to bed
- Avoid stimulants in the late afternoon and evening
- Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day
- Dim the lights at night
- Use the blue light filter on the computer screen at night
- Practice yoga, meditation or relaxation techniques before bed
The best CBD oil for sleep is made from a full-spectrum extract rich in sleep-supporting terpenoids and cannabis-like substances. Ideally, CBD oil used for sleep should contain at least 50 mg of CBD per milliliter of oil.
Does CBD support weight loss?
The benefits of CBD for weight loss depend on its ability to reduce appetite, relieve inflammatory load, support hormone balance, regulate mitochondrial function, and relieve potential blood glucose disorders.
CBD itself is not considered effective for weight loss, but when combined with other diet and lifestyle changes, it can provide an impressive range of benefits.
In general, the best way to lose weight is diet and exercise.
Is CBD good for the skin?
CBD is very suitable for irritated, inflamed, dry or acne-prone skin. It can reduce the thickness of sebum on the skin-which helps prevent clogged pores and acne. CBD also has anti-inflammatory effects and can help treat irritating skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis or allergic dermatitis.
As more and more people understand the benefits of CBD to the skin and how to use CBD products to keep skin healthy, CBD skin care products are becoming more and more popular.
Is hemp seed oil the same as CBD oil?
Hemp seed oil is very different from CBD oil and is not a suitable substitute.
Hemp seed oil is made from the seeds of the hemp plant. The seeds are rich in phytonutrients and omega-6 fatty acids, but do not contain active cannabinoids or terpenes.
CBD oil is made from the leaves and flowers of the hemp plant. It is rich in phytonutrients, cannabinoids, terpenes and other medicinal compounds.
All CBD oils are made from hemp leaves and flowers. Some companies mix the extract with hemp seed oil, but the active ingredients are only in the leaf and flower extracts.
What is the dose of CBD?
The dosage of CBD may vary from person to person. The recommended dosage ranges from 5 mg per day to 150 mg or more per day.
Try our CBD oil dosage calculator to help find the ideal dosage for your weight and required strength.
Whenever using CBD for the first time, we recommend that you reduce the speed. Start with the lowest dose based on your weight and gradually increase over a few days or weeks.
For some symptoms, when you notice an improvement in your symptoms, you will immediately know when you have reached the correct dose.
Other times the benefits of CBD may take several weeks-so we recommend increasing the recommended CBD dose based on your weight and desired level of effect, and maintaining consistency for several weeks.
During this time, monitor your symptoms and adjust the dose accordingly.
How often should I take CBD?
Most people use CBD two to three times a day.
They may take one dose in the morning, one dose at lunch, and a third dose after dinner. Some people skip the dose at lunch and only take it in the morning and evening.
The dosage you need depends on your use of CBD support. For example, arthritis patients may wish to use CBD multiple times a day to provide all-day relief. Others who use CBD to promote sleep may only want to use CBD once before going to bed.
How long does it take for CBD to be effective?
The products in the onset from the effects of CBD depend on the form of CBD you use.
The fastest effect comes from the inhaled form of CBD (such as vapes or CBD flowers). Inhalation of CBD will produce benefits within 5 minutes, and maximum effect will be achieved within 20 minutes.
For the oral form of CBD, the onset time can be between 30 and 60 minutes. This is because the active ingredients need to pass through the stomach into the small intestine, where they can be absorbed. CBD is fat-soluble, which means there is an extra step. CBD is first absorbed into the lymph fluid, which moves up to the vicinity of the heart, and finally enters the bloodstream.
If you use CBD oil or CBD chewing gum, you can also allow CBD to be absorbed sublingually (sublingual). This can reduce the time required for CBD to take effect to approximately 5 or 10 minutes. To do this, put CBD oil or CBD gum under your tongue for a few minutes. The active ingredients will enter the blood directly through the small capillaries under the tongue.
How long does CBD last?
The effect of CBD usually lasts for about 4-6 hours from a single dose.
If you take CBD regularly, the CBD level in your blood will remain high for a longer period of time. After 2 weeks of continuous use, the effect of CBD usually lasts for about 12 hours per dose.
After a single dose, CBD can be tested in vivo for up to 7 days. If you are a normal user, CBD may be detected in your body for up to 2 weeks.
Can I overdose CBD?
The shortest answer is no. Even at high doses, CBD is non-fatal.
However, taking too much CBD may increase the risk of side effects. You may feel dizzy or dizzy, which may increase your risk of accidental injury.
What happens if I take too much CBD?
The most common side effect of taking too much CBD is drowsiness. It often makes people fall asleep earlier than usual and stay asleep for several hours.
Some people may find that taking too much CBD can even make them feel dizzy the next morning.
In rare cases, taking too much CBD can lower your blood pressure, which can cause dizziness and dizziness, especially when standing.
Others may find that too much CBD makes them feel sick.
If you experience any of these symptoms, the best way is to stay patient and wait for the results to come out. The next time you use CBD, please reduce the dose to avoid these negative side effects from happening again.
Is CBD safe for children?
CBD can be used safely in children as long as they contain a non-psychoactive dose of THC.
Products that contain psychoactive doses of THC or use other non-cannabis-derived ingredients may not be suitable for children.
In addition, the dosage used is very important. Giving children too much CBD may cause unnecessary side effects.
If children are taking other medications or have potential health problems before discussing with their doctor, it is not safe to provide them with CBD products.
Don't use CBD as a substitute for any medicine without your child's doctor's approval.
Is CBD safe for animals?
Yes! Animals also have endocannabinoid systems, just like humans. CBD is as safe and effective for pets as humans.
Many pet owners are using CBD to treat pain, inflammation, muscle and joint stiffness, separation anxiety, and loss of appetite.
When you search for CBD, you will see that most companies offer several CBD products for pets, including CBD oil dogs, CBD oil cats, and CBD dog treats. CBD is even useful for horses.
Our pet is much younger than us. Therefore, they need much less CBD than you might need. Very small dogs or cats may only need 1 or 2 mg of CBD, while large dogs may need up to 50 mg per dose.
Animals do not respond well to THC, so it is important to look for products with very low THC (less than 0.3%) or 0%.
If I have a health problem, is CBD safe?
If you have any underlying health conditions, it is wise to consult your doctor before trying CBD. This is especially important if you use prescription drugs to treat your condition.
CBD has a high degree of safety and rarely interferes with other drugs used to treat diseases-but there are some exceptions.
Some specific examples of the potentially unsafe use of CBD include:
- Low blood pressure
- heart disease
- When taking immunosuppressive drugs
- After organ transplantation or major surgery
- Severe depression
- Schizophrenia or psychosis
- alcoholism
Is CBD addictive?
The shortest answer is no. CBD itself is not addictive, and the possibility of tolerance or physical dependence is very small. This is especially noticeable when compared to prescription analgesics or anti-anxiety drugs (such as opioids or benzodiazepines).
However, when people start to rely on supplements as a source of symptom relief, CBD may become a habit.
This is very different from physical addiction.
During physical addiction, the body loses its ability to maintain homeostasis without drugs-as long as it is no longer in the system, it can cause severe withdrawal symptoms. This does not happen with CBD-if you stop taking it, even after years of use, the worst case is that your symptoms may reappear.
There is even some evidence that CBD can be used to treat addiction to other substances.
Will CBD oil excite me?
CBD is not psychoactive-this means that CBD will not excite you, even in very large doses.
The THC content of most CBD products is less than 0.3%-well below the psychoactive threshold.
Where cannabis is legal, you need to be careful not to buy psychoactive products by mistake. Always check the THC content listed on the bottle.
Anything that claims to be THC-free or less than 0.5% THC can be taken without worrying about getting higher.
Will CBD make me tired?
CBD is a low-dose anxiolytic and relaxant, while high-dose is a mild to moderate sedative.
If you take high doses of CBD (more than 30 mg) or are particularly sensitive to cannabinoids, you may feel tired after taking it.
CBD products containing calming terpenes, such as myrcene, humulene, bisabolol or linalool, are particularly prone to make users feel tired.
For many people, this effect is positive. The calming effect makes CBD products particularly useful for supporting sleep.
For others, the sedative effect is negative. If you want to use CBD without feeling tired, look for products that contain lower doses of the sedative cannabinoid CBN or the terpenes mentioned above.
Can I be allergic to CBD?
Allergies to CBD are rare, but not impossible. Other ingredients in CBD products may also cause allergic reactions, such as carrier oils, synthetic fragrances, preservatives, or other ingredients.
If you are using CBD for the first time, it is best to apply a small amount to your skin to check for allergies. If there are no signs of redness or irritation after 30 minutes, your chance of an allergic reaction is very low.
Even with this test, it is best to use a very small amount of CBD first and see how your body reacts before using the full dose.
Allergies to CBD may involve the following symptoms:
- Swelling around the skin or mouth
- Severe dizziness or fatigue
- Itchy mouth or skin
- Difficulty breathing
- Coughing or wheezing
- Headache
- Severe fatigue or drowsiness
Can I mix CBD oil with other compounds?
CBD can be used in combination with certain substances, but should be avoided in combination with other substances.
In general, you can take CBD oil with other health products, but you should avoid taking CBD with alcohol or prescription drugs used to lower blood pressure, induce sleep, or suppress immune activity.
Can I take CBD with alcohol?
Mixing CBD and alcohol is not a good idea. Both of these substances cause a decrease in blood pressure. When the two are combined, this can cause too much blood pressure to drop, leading to dizziness and fainting.
Both CBD and alcohol are considered sedatives and antihypertensives (hypertensives). When used together, it produces a stronger effect, leading to side effects such as sedation, dizziness, and fainting.
Although mixing alcohol and CBD is unlikely to cause minor side effects, it is best to separate them as much as possible.
Can I use CBD with other vitamins and supplements?
It is often recommended to take other health products together with CBD.
CBD has a very wide range of effects, covering several different organ systems of the body. Adding other compounds can help guide the impact of CBD on content you specifically want to support.
For example, suppose you use CBD products to treat joint pain. In this case, you can combine other joint support supplements (such as glucosamine, magnesium, or MSM) with CBD. This will provide greater benefits than the CBD itself.
Here are some examples of common health products that you can take with CBD:
- Ashwagandha — relieve stress and anxiety
- Frankincense-treats arthritis pain
- Chondroitin sulfate-for joint pain and arthritis
- Glucosamine-treat joint pain and arthritis
- Kava Kava-for stress, anxiety and sleep
- L-theanine-for stress and attention
- Magnesium-used for muscle pain, headaches and sleep
- Melatonin-for sleep support
- Methanesulfonyl methane (MSM)-used for joint pain and arthritis
- Passionflower-relieves stress, anxiety and sleep
- St. John's Wort-Treating Mood and Depression
- Turmeric or curcumin - for inflammation and joint pain
- Vitamin D and Vitamin K-for mood and immune support
Are there any health supplements that cannot be used with CBD?
Most health products are completely safe to use with CBD. CBD is unlikely to interact with most nutritional or herbal supplements-with a few exceptions.
Supplements that lower blood pressure, lower blood sugar, or produce sedative effects may increase the chance of CBD side effects because they have similar effects.
For example, taking CBD with herbal supplements such as witch hazel (herbal used to lower blood sugar) may increase the effect of CBD on blood sugar and make the combination too strong. Although not dangerous in itself, this combination may make you feel dizzy or dizzy.
If you have an underlying health problem, be extra careful when combining CBD with other supplements.
Does CBD interact with other drugs?
CBD is generally considered safe and has little chance of interacting with other drugs or supplements. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. The main problem that CBD may cause with other drugs involves the liver. The liver is responsible for metabolizing various compounds in the body, including naturally occurring compounds such as hormones or blood cells.
When we take a large amount of CBD that overwhelms the liver, it causes other compounds that follow the same metabolic pathway to be backed up. This may cause the effects of these drugs to last longer than expected—increasing the chance of side effects.
Each drug is metabolized by different enzymes in the liver. If you plan to use CBD in combination with other drugs, we recommend that you ask your doctor if there are any known drug interactions with CBD. You can also look for enzymes involved in the metabolism of these drugs and compare them with enzymes known to be involved in CBD metabolism.
CBD is metabolized by specific liver enzymes:
- CYP1A1
- CYP1A2
- CYP1B1
- CYP2B6
- CYP2D6
- CYP3A5
If other drugs work through any of the same pathways, they may interact with CBD. This can include adenosine inhibitors, endocannabinoid agonists or antagonists, or opioids. Before taking CBD and other medicines, be sure to consult your doctor.
What is the best CBD supplement?
The best form of CBD varies from person to person, depending on symptoms and personal preferences:
for general use-CBD oils, tinctures, foods and capsules are the best choice
For muscle, joint and skin health-CBD creams, ointments, balm And high-efficiency bath bombs are a good choice.
For therapeutic purposes—treatment of moderate to severe symptoms— CBD oil, capsules and high-efficiency topical agents (for topical conditions) containing other active ingredients are the best choices.
Other options, such as bath bombs, CBD Injections, low-potency oils, gummies, food, tea, and coffee are less reliable for more severe symptoms.
These products may be difficult to achieve therapeutic doses, and other ingredients (such as added sugar) may have a negative effect on the body at larger doses.
