What is CBD oil?

When we talk about CBD oil, we are talking about the oil that is extracted from the buds, leaves and stems of the hemp plant (i.e. not hemp seed oil). Hemp oil is rich in cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids and has many health benefits. This is due to the interaction of these compounds (particularly CBD) with the body's endocannabinoid system.

CBD oils contain this rich and potent hemp oil and usually some type of carrier oil, such as MCT oil from coconut so that the body can absorb the CBD better. Beyond that, it's just a matter of choosing additional ingredients that match the goals of the product in question. We offer a ton of Lava & Kush CBD Products that include healthy essential oils like: 

Benefits of CBD oil 

CBD oil is an excellent base for creating a variety of wellness products. As mentioned above, CBD oil itself is rich in cannabinoids (including CBD, CBG, CBN, CBC and trace amounts of THC), terpenes, flavonoids and healthy fatty acids. This powerful cannabis oil provides a wide range of calming health benefits by interacting with the body's endocannabinoid system.

The endocannabinoid system helps the body maintain homeostasis, or balance, in various organs and systems, particularly the central and peripheral nervous systems. This interaction helps the body regulate key functions such as mood, memory, immune function, motor control, sleep, appetite, pain and stress management, and much more. This beneficial interaction is why CBD has become such a popular wellness supplement.

It should be noted that you can benefit from the entourage effect if your cannabis oil product contains broad-spectrum CBD. Broad-spectrum CBD is an oil producers extract directly from the plant, but with a filter that removes detectable amounts of THC. Almost all other cannabinoids remain in the oil, from CBC to CBG and a hundred more!

The entourage effect is a phenomenon where CBD and other cannabis compounds enhance each other's effects. In the case of a broad-spectrum CBD product, the CBD and other cannabinoids have a stronger effect on you than on their own. Thereby giving you a more potent product – resulting in greater health benefits!

How to take CBD oil drops

CBD sublingual oils are great because they allow you to choose the exact amount of CBD per serving, unlike products like capsules or gummies that have a pre-measured serving. If this is your first time taking an oil tincture, here is a quick guide to taking CBD oil.

1. Check the portion size

Read the label of your CBD hemp oil product carefully to determine the recommended dosage. However, that doesn't mean it's the ideal CBD dose for you.  If you're trying CBD for the first time, start with a low dose to better assess the effects.

2. Place the drops under your tongue

It's important to hold the hemp CBD dropper under your tongue for 60 seconds. This allows the CBD to be absorbed into your bloodstream via the capillaries in your mouth. Thus, the CBD enters your body much more quickly than if you simply swallowed it. You would have to wait for the CBD to be absorbed through your digestive tract.

When you take CBD oil, it also naturally passes through your digestive system, providing long-term benefits. Make sure you don't drink anything for about 10 minutes after taking CBD oil sublingually. In this way, the capillaries of the mouth continue to absorb the remaining cannabidiol.

3. Be patient and understand the effects of your CBD oil

Don't expect to feel the effects of CBD right away. Depending on bioavailability factors, sublingual CBD oil products may take 15 to 30 minutes to work.

You can also skip the sublingual method entirely and simply swallow the CBD oil. Many people add CBD oil drops to their morning coffee. This also works perfectly. However, keep in mind that it will take longer for you to feel the effects (30 minutes to two hours on average). So look no further and order your CBD products now!
