Benefits of Using CBD
Cannabidiol has been used for thousands of years. Many users claim that it supports a balanced lifestyle and improved wellbeing. There have been many studies over the last few years that have looked at the positive effects of CBD with more research appearing as CBD continues to prove popular.
CBD and the Endocannabinoid System
You may be surprised to hear that CBD is very similar to chemicals already present in the body. The endocannabinoids (produced internally in the body) are part of a network of chemicals and receptors known as the endocannabinoid system (ECS).
This ECS assists the body by ensuring it is operating in a state of balance known as homeostasis.
CBD works so well with the body due to how it interacts with the ECS. Because it is so similar to other chemicals already in the body, it is able to integrate easily. In this effect, CBD helps to ensure the state of balance.
Are there any side effects?
CBD is a non-addictive, non-psychoactive substance. There is still research ongoing on the benefits and side-effects of CBD. In the UK, CBD is legal as a food supplement, not for medical use. CBD products may interfere with some medications; we therefore advise you to talk to your doctor.
Are there any side effects?
Most CBD users don’t experience any side effects, but some may experience symptoms such as low blood pressure, dry mouth, light-headedness and drowsiness. These side effects can depend on the amount of CBD you take. If you are taking medication for blood pressure or diabetes or you suffer from heart disease, please ask your doctor for advice before using cannabidiol.
As Cannabidiol is legal and non-psychoactive, you can drive after taking CBD. However, if you’re a newcomer it is recommended to wait until you’ve found the perfect dosage for you before driving, as some users experience dizziness when they start.
What are the different types of CBD products?
CBD VAPES
CBD E-Liquids are designed to be vaporised by an E-Cigarette device, allowing CBD to be absorbed into your bloodstream through your lungs. CBD vapes are the fastest way to absorb CBD. Disposable CBD vape pens are also available for fuss-free CBD vaping.
CBD ORAL DROPS
CBD Oil drops are designed to be taken sublingually. For best results place under your tongue for 60-90 seconds (the longer the better) to increase the absorption rate. CBD oil can take a little while to work but its effects last the longest.
CBD CREAMS AND BALMS
CBD topicals such as CBD Muscle Balms, Creams and CBD lotions are designed for your skin and target specific areas of your body. CBD Creams and CBD Balms are infused with essential oils that boost the effects.
CBD EDIBLES
Commonly in the form of gummies, CBD edibles are an alternative to CBD drops that offer a variety of flavours in an easy way to consume. As this method of CBD requires a trip through the digestive system, the effects may be lesser than other methods.
The recommended dosage of CBD will vary depending on your age, gender, weight and desired effects. We suggest starting off at a lower strength and increase dosage progressively if needed. Read our guide on what to do if you think CBD isn’t working for you.
