What Is CBD?

CBD, which is short for cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring cannabinoid derived from the cannabis plant. Cannabis encompasses both hemp and marijuana, but CBD is typically derived from hemp due to its high CBD and low THC levels. CBD is non-intoxicating, meaning it won’t make the user high.

CBD is used in health supplements due to its wellness properties to help improve and regulate the body’s ECS. There is a wide range of benefits CBD products have to offer, including an improved mental state, a decrease in minor discomfort, a boost in immune system health, and improved overall health. CBD comes in various products, forms and potencies to best accommodate the user’s needs. CBD is often made into CBD oil, CBD edibles, CBD topical products, and CBD vape products.

What Is CBD Oils?

CBD American Shaman of Fayetteville CBD oil is the combination of CBD extract with a carrier oil. When CBD is first extracted from hemp, it’s a very thick and sticky substance. To make it easier to take and distribute, the CBD extract is mixed with other ingredients and oils. The most common carrier oils include coconut oil, hemp seed oil, grapeseed oil, sunflower oil, and avocado oil. When you purchase CBD oil it won’t contain exclusively CBD, it will also contain other ingredients for a more pleasant experience. Check the CBD milligram amount on the bottle to determine the potency of the CBD oil. Click the following link CBD Products to view all of our available CBD. 

How Is CBD Oil Made?

CBD oil is made by extracting CBD from cannabis plants and is then added to other ingredients. CBD is naturally occurring in both hemp and marijuana but CBD is typically extracted from hemp plants. There are three different ways to extract CBD: oil infusion, CO2 extraction, and grain alcohol extraction. Once the CBD is extracted, it is refined in different ways to remove other plant compounds or break down the CBD to make it easier for the body to absorb. The CBD should be tested by the manufactures to ensure it meets purity and potency standards.

After the extraction, refining, and testing process, the CBD is a thick substance that is added to carrier oils, flavors, or scents to make it easier to take. CBD is made into many different products, like CBD oils, edibles, beauty products, and more. Since the production of CBD isn’t the same for all manufacturers, make sure you purchase from a reliable source in order to ensure you are purchasing CBD that is produced properly and accurately tested.

How Do You Take CBD?

CBD oil can be taken in different ways for different uses and outcomes. The main ways to take CBD oil is by inhaling, ingesting, topical use, or sublingual use, meaning placing under the tongue. The way you take the CBD will impact the absorption and duration of the CBD product. Once you determine a method to take CBD, this will help you determine what CBD product to purchase. Not all CBD products are used the same way, for example, CBD tinctures can be placed under the tongue while topical CBD products should only be used on the skin.

How Does CBD Work?

When CBD enters the body, it works with the body’s existing endocannabinoid system (ECS) to help regulate various functions. The ECS contains cannabinoid receptors that interact with CBD to stimulate and boost the ECS. The ECS is responsible for regulating a wide range of functions throughout the body, including appetite, sleep, mood, nerve function, muscle recovery, immune system response, and brain function. CBD works with the ECS to help regulate these functions and create a sense of homeostasis, meaning balance and regularity in the body.

Will CBD Make Me High?

No, hemp-derived CBD won’t make you “high” or experience any psychoactive effects. Hemp-derived CBD oil typically contains no more than 0.3 percent THC, the chemical that causes the high effect. This amount of THC isn’t enough to cause any intoxicating effects. CBD also counteracts any effects that may occur from the small amount of THC in the CBD product. There are some CBD oils that contain no THC for those who are concerned about the THC.

What Benefits Can CBD Offer?

CBD has the ability to provide many health benefits, although it is important to note that CBD may affect people differently. When CBD enters the body, it works with the body’s endocannabinoid system to support various functions throughout the body. Some of the main benefits of CBD include:
• Relief from minor discomfort
• Promotes a positive mental state
• Improves mood
• Supports joint health
• Improves rest
• Boosts energy
• Supports a healthy cardiovascular system
• Supports immune system health
• Promotes improved overall health

Does CBD Have THC?

Most hemp-derived CBD oils contain no more than 0.3 percent THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the chemical that creates a “high” or intoxicating effect in users. This small amount of THC won’t cause the user to get high. Some CBD companies sell THC-free CBD products for those who want to ditch the THC and for those who live in states that don’t allow any THC in CBD. In a few states, all traces of THC in CBD are illegal. Currently, Idaho, Wyoming, Texas, Louisiana, and Kansas only allow the sale and consumption of THC-free CBD oil. If you live in one of these states, you will only be able to purchase the THC free products on our site.

How Much CBD Should I Take?

There is not an exact recommended dose or serving size for CBD oil. There are ways to determine how much CBD is right for you and your health needs. All CBD products should list the recommended serving size and CBD potency per serving. This can help you measure, monitor, and gauge how much is right for you. Start with a small dosage for a few days and then work your way up, this will help you determine how much is right for your body. While doing this, take note of how you feel and how much you take. Once you feel the desired effects, continue taking that amount until you feel the need to change it.

Are There Any Negative Side Effects From CBD?

Even though CBD may offer many health benefits, some people may experience adverse side effects. These side effects include a change in appetite, drowsiness, dry mouth, and diarrhea. If you experience any undesirable side effects, cut back on the amount you take or stop taking CBD altogether. If you experience any severe side effects, stop taking CBD and seek medical attention.
