CBD Tincture: The Complete User’s Guide
CBD oil has become a hot topic of discussion in the health and wellness industry. And for good reason. Not only is CBD one of the most versatile therapeutic compounds, it also has an amazing safety profile. Premium CBD Tincture seems to provide relief without any adverse side effects or addictive potential.
What is CBD?
CBD stands for cannabidiol, a cannabinoid compound found in the hemp plant. Because hemp is related to marijuana, yet has high concentrations of cannabinoids without the psychotropic effects of THC, hemp-derived CBD has become incredibly popular with patients. The medicinal value of cannabis has been known and utilized in Asia for centuries. However, it is only recently that people have truly begun to understand and appreciate how CBD provides relief without any adverse side effects or addictive potential.
How Does CBD Work?
CBD works by interacting with our own natural Endocannabinoid System (ECS). The ECS is similar in concept to the hormonal receptors in your body (i.e. estrogen, testosterone), except it is comprised of cannabinoid-based receptors. The ECS regulates many biological processes in your body including blood pressure, inflammation, pain and neurodegeneration. Cannabis Indica (hemp) contains a large concentration of CBG, Cannabigerol (CBG), Cannabichromene (CBC), Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other compounds that interact with the ECS to create an endocannabinoid effect on the body.
Why Use CBD?
The therapeutic value of hemp-derived CBD is the subject of much research and is the subject of several medical studies. Patients report CBD gives them relief from inflammation, pain, anxiety, psychosis, seizures and many other conditions for which conventional drugs have undesirable side effects.
How Do You Use CBD?
Many different forms of CBD are currently available depending on what the patient needs to treat. Many patients prefer tinctures because they are easy to use and portable. However, all forms provide the same great benefits and work in the same manner to interact with your ECS and provide relief naturally without any adverse side effects or addictive potential.
How Do You Take a Tincture?
To take a tincture, you simply add the recommended amount under your tongue using the dropper and hold for 30 seconds before swallowing. Alternatively, some users like to add it to their food or drink. If you don’t feel any effect within an hour, simply increase the dose by adding another pump.
In general 2-6 pumps will provide sufficient relief for mild conditions and 6-10+ pumps will be more than enough for more severe conditions. Most people find that they don’t need more than 10 pumps per day but if you suffer from severe pain or chronic conditions, you may find that taking large doses of CBD will help tremendously.
