The health benefits of CBD

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a natural product derived from Cannabis Sativa L.. CBD has multiple health benefits. Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD has no psychotropic effects. This hemp extract does not cause dependence either. It is, therefore, not considered a narcotic. The substance is legally authorized for cultivation and consumption in several European countries, including France. Scientific trials and research notably prove that quality CBD has the following properties:

• analgesic: the cannabidiol molecule acts on the receptors of the endocannabinoid system in the human body to reduce pain perception. Several scientific studies demonstrate the effectiveness of CBD in relieving pain associated with chronic conditions such as multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis, and in soothing everyday pain caused by muscle injuries, menstrual pain, migraines, etc.;
• anti-inflammatory: taking CBD limits the immune system's reactions to external aggressors. The natural product derived from hemp thus helps significantly reduce the risk of inflammation in the body. The cannabinoid would be particularly effective in treating inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema;
• anti-emetic: CBD regulates the functioning of the digestive system and calms contractions of the small intestine. It thus helps combat nausea and vomiting;
• anti-stress: cannabidiol rebalances the function of the nervous system to combat stress and anxiety. It also soothes psychological disorders and combats convulsions related to epileptic seizures;
• sleep regulator: CBD may also have effects on insomnia and other sleep disorders. The hemp extract indeed works by stimulating the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone, to (re)balance the circadian cycle, commonly known as the biological clock. This natural mechanism allows the body to maintain a proper wake/sleep rhythm, ensuring a healthy lifestyle and good health.

Furthermore, taking cannabidiol may help significantly limit the growth of tumors and cancers in the human body. CBD may also prevent blood clotting.

Scientific research is still ongoing to support the known properties of CBD and reveal other effects.

How to use CBD?

CBD is available in various forms commercially. You can notably obtain oil, leaves, flowers, resin, candies, cosmetics enriched with cannabidiol, and many other derived products. The different types of CBD products are used in different ways. CBD oil is the most common and most suitable form for daily consumption.

How to consume CBD oil?

CBD oil can be used in different ways. The product is ideally consumed sublingually. To do this, place the drops in your mouth, under the tongue, let them act for 20 to 60 seconds, then swallow them with a large glass of water. This method of consumption allows you to enjoy almost instant results. Indeed, the effects of CBD are felt within a minute, at the latest 2 minutes after ingesting the product.

CBD leaves and CBD flowers from Cannabis Sativa L. are taken as an infusion. You must dilute these hemp extracts in boiling water and a fatty substance (butter or milk).

How much CBD should be consumed per sublingual dose?

To date, there are still no official recommendations regarding CBD dosage. The dose of cannabidiol to consume or use varies considerably depending on factors related to the type of product and the consumer's metabolism. The desired effects, the treatment, and the intensity of the ailments also influence CBD dosage.

How many drops of CBD for a sublingual dose?

The number of drops of sublingual CBD oil is determined according to various factors. You must notably consider the desired effects and the consumer's weight. The CBD concentration in the product is also an important factor in determining the amount of CBD for a sublingual dose. Indeed, CBD oils can have varying CBD concentrations ranging from 5 % to nearly 40 %. Furthermore, there are different types of CBD oils:

• Full spectrum CBD oils: made from a vegetable oil base to which all hemp components are added, including THC at a legal level, below 0,3 %;
• Broad Spectrum CBD oils: composed of vegetable oil and hemp components, without THC;
• CBD isolate, which is an oil containing exclusively the vegetable oil base and the pure CBD molecule.

CBD oil generally comes with a concentration of 10 %, in a 10 ml bottle, i.e., 2000 drops of product. For information, the 10 ml bottle of cannabidiol at a concentration of 10 % contains 1000 mg of CBD. One drop of product then contains 5 mg of CBD.
