What is CBD Oil?
Cannabidiol, better known as CBD, has been gaining massive popularity in the health and wellness community the past few years. It is currently being used to help manage a variety of symptoms, including pain and anxiety. CBD oil is made by extracting CBD from the marijuana plant, Cannabis sativa, and diluting it with a carrier oil such as hemp seed oil. CBD does not contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which is the main psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. THC is responsible for the ‘high’ usually associated with marijuana.
How Do I Use CBD Oil?
CBD oil dosage can vary, but starts with three drops. Taking CBD oil is as simple as putting the drops of it on your tongue, and then leaving them there for about a minute before swallowing. The sheer simplicity of this product is probably one of the reasons why so many people have turned to it for all their various ailments, and why you should too.
