Along with hemp flowers, CBD oil is probably the hottest product on the market today. Sold ready-to-use, concentrated according to your needs and with a wide range of flavours, cannabidiol oil appeals to informed consumers and novices alike. But how do you useCBD oil? Here's our comprehensive guide to making the most of the oil's benefits.
5 ways to consume CBD oil
CBD is a lipo-active molecule, meaning that it must be mixed with a fatty substance in order to be assimilated by the body. Here are 5 simple ways to use CBD oil.
1. Sublingual consumption
Consumption of cannabidiol oil via the sublingual route is certainly the method most commonly used by consumers. The big advantage of thecheap CBD oil sold at CBDSol is that it's ready-to-use, being composed of hemp molecules and a neutral vegetable oil base.
CBD oil can be taken directly under the tongue, preferably at the end of the day. A few drops are all that's needed (from 5 to 20mg on average for the uninformed consumer). Leave them to act under the tongue for about a minute before swallowing. Effects are felt within a few minutes.
2. Cooking with CBD oil
Cooking with CBD oil is the other way to consume the very trendy cannabidiol, appreciated by users both unfamiliar with the product and adapted to it. As already mentioned, CBD oil is ready to use.
Be careful, however, to dose your oil correctly. As with sublingual use, we recommend around 20mg for novice users. It's up to you to calculate the dosage according to the degree of concentration of your product. It's also advisable not to cook the oil at over 120° to avoid altering its properties.
The added bonus of this type of consumption? CBD oil will give a very subtle taste to your culinary preparations.
3. Apply CBD oil to the skin
Well-known to natural beauty enthusiasts and the focus of current cosmetology studies, hemp is a supposedly miraculous ingredient for the skin. It is said to slow down premature skin ageing, but not only that... CBD has soothing properties that are particularly recommended for problem skin: sensitive skin suffering from redness, psoriasis or eczema.
It couldn't be simpler to use CBD oil in cosmetics: add a drop of the aqueous liquid to your dose of product (serum or cream) and apply to the desired area until fully absorbed. Although CBD is said to be harmless when applied to the skin, it is strongly recommended to try it out on a small area of skin before applying it to the whole face or body.
4. Ingest CBD oil using capsules
The most sensitive taste buds will turn to consuming CBD oil in capsules. There are two alternatives: buy ready-made capsules or make your own using our full-spectrum CBD oil, for example.
The ready-to-use capsules are pre-measured, while the do-it-yourself capsules can be measured out as you wish. All you need to do is buy empty capsules in health food stores or on the Internet, and fill them with product.
Note, however, that since digestion is slow, the effects of the molecule will be felt more diffusely and more slowly.
5. Dilute CBD oil with a drink
As mentioned earlier in this article, CBD oil is ready to use. Nothing could be simpler than adding it to the drink of your choice. Whatever your favourite drink, there's no limit to the variations you can make.
Whether you prefer coffee or tea to relax, simply add the desired dose to your cup. Want to fill up on vitamins or enjoy a smoothie after your workout? Add a few drops of CBD oil for intense relaxation, and you may even avoid muscle pain. More into cocktails and relaxing evenings? No problem either, you can incorporate CBD oil into your preparations.
Be careful, do not consume CBD oil in these ways:
Be careful not to exceed the recommended daily dose of 700 mg CBD per day. Avoid vaporizing CBD oil. It uses an olive oil carrier which, when inhaled, can be harmful. Finally, CBD oil is not recommended for pregnant or breast-feeding women.
