What type of CBD delivery method
do you prefer? Is it some type of
topical solution? Perhaps an edible of
some sort? Or, maybe you want to be
vaping some good ol’ CBD. One thing that
we love about cannabidiol, l (CBD) is how extremely versatile it is, and how
each delivery method allows us to experience hemp in a unique way. Different delivery methods have unique
absorption rates which can determine things like how potently the cannabidiol is
felt, how long it lasts in the system, and how quickly it takes effect.
One of the reasons why we love CBD oil is because it
allows us to enjoy a variety of delivery methods as needed. It’s perhaps the most versatile CBD-based product
around, and easily the most popular.
But first, for those who are still unclear…
A Quick Recep on CBD Oil
CBD oil can be a bit of a misleading term, as it turns
out. It almost always refers to a
product consisting of a hemp extract that’s been combined and diluted with a
carrier oil. Many people mistakenly
think that CBD oil refers to an oil that’s solely CBD, but that isn’t the
case. Even the hemp extract can contain
more than cannabidiol. Full and broad
spectrum hemp extracts contain a variety of compounds that occur in hemp in
addition to CBD, with broad spectrum being the THC-free alternative to full spectrum. There’s also CBD isolate, which is just pure cannabidiol.
CBD oil comes in a variety of milligram strengths,
which refers to the concentration of hemp extract in comparison to the carrier
oil. In some cases, CBD oil may have
flavoring agents, but that is always specified on the packaging.
What Can CBD Oil Be Used For?
Now, let’s take a look at the many ways in which you
can utilize CBD oil.
Use #1: An Oral Tincture
The most popular way to use CBD oil is as an oral
tincture. Oral tinctures are oil or liquid solutions that are held under the
tongue for about a minute before being swallowed. During that minute under the tongue, the
compounds absorb into the sublingual tissue, which allows for fast
activation. When CBD is taken as a
tincture, it can take about 15 to 45 minutes to take effect and can last for a
few hours.
Use #2: Food Additive
Some people use CBD oil as a food additive,
incorporating it into salad dressings, baked goods and more. CBD oil can’t exceed a temperature of 356
degrees Fahrenheit, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t find a wide array of
ways to enjoy it as part of your culinary endeavors. Don’t be afraid to get creative, and if you
must, look for recipes online, as there are many CBD enthusiasts who are happy
to share their recipes with you.
Use #3: Topical Solution
CBD oil works as a great topical agent as well. The compounds in hemp absorb through the skin
very easily and quickly, with many users saying that it can work almost
instantly. The oily consistency ensures
fast and thorough absorption, and as an added bonus, you can enjoy some super
moisturized skin after application.
Use #4: An Ingredient for a Customized Formula
You can definitely use CBD oil as an ingredient for
your own formula, whether that be bath bombs, skin cream, hair conditioner, an
edible gummy or something else entirely.
CBD oil is the basis of pretty much all hemp formulas out there, so if
you’re feeling creative, come up with your own one-of-a-kind recipe.
Use #5: Vape Additive
Certain CBD oils can be added to e-liquids, which
means that you could turn your favorite vape juice flavor into a CBD-infused
e-juice. Just make sure that the
manufacturer approves of using a CBD oil as a vape additive before going ahead
and doing it, as some contain ingredients that may not be vape-friendly. If you must, you can call the manufacturer
and ask them.
Use #6: Pet-Friendly Products
You can make pet goods with some good, old-fashioned
CBD oil. Pets can enjoy CBD treats,
tinctures and topicals with the same CBD oil that you use for yourself. Just make sure that you use a milligram
strength that’s appropriate for their size, as this is very important. And, we strongly recommend that you do speak
to your vet before giving your pet CBD, and ONLY use pet-friendly
ingredients.
CBD Oil’s Incredible Versatility Makes It a Must-Have for Every Household
Even if you already have a regular routine with some
other type of hemp product, having a bottle of CBD oil lying around means you
can enjoy a wide array of delivery methods on demand as needed.
