What is CBD ? What’s the most healthy way of consuming CBD ?
Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a substance present in cannabis that doesn’t give a feeling of “high”. Thus, it is legal in France. A lot of hypotheses have been put forward on its benefits and advantages. Other studies have shared mixed results.
There are different ways to consume CBD. You can vape, eat or drink CBD. But what’s the most efficient way ? Sublingual CBD oil are often recommended as both the most efficient and healthy way to consume CBD.
How to use sublingual oil ? Put 3 to 9 CBD drops under the tongue for a minute. Mix with your saliva and swallow it all. Sublingual oil may have an immediate effect, especially after eating because digestion maximizes its bioavailability.
What health professionals generally think about the benefits and efficiency of CBD oils
A few studies have shown that CBD is an ideal well-being complement as it can alleviate anxiety, stress and certain pains. For example, this 2019 study showed significant improvement in anxiety and sleep. There are also medical uses for CBD in the US, where Epidiolex is used as a treatment for epileptic disorders.
However, these studies are often put in perspective by complementary studies or narrative reviews, which means that some health professionals have a more reserved stance on CBD. Often, these studies conclude that CBD requires further studies to fully understand its interactions with the nervous system.
This is furthered by a simple fact : the endocannabinoid system, which interacts with CBD in our nervous system, is an intricate part of the human body that also requires more research.
That being said, you can find many positive testimonies on CBD as well as health professionals that advocate this new molecule. Nonetheless, CBD isn’t recognized as medication in France and thus, there are no prescription available.
CBD is solely a well-being complement. If it may help you, it can never substitute or replace a medical treatment. If you want to ask a easily a health professionals, perhaps you may find help in a pharmacy that sells CBD. Otherwise, you should ask your doctor.
Risks, adverse effects, dangers and contraindications of CBD
First of all, in 2017, the World Health Organization announced that it found CBD with no risk of abuse or addiction. Thus, it is considered a safe molecule.
With 0.3% of THC, these mere traces found in CBD products do not constitute the same dangers as its illegal counterparts with over 25% THC. Yet, 0.3% THC is enough to be tested positive to a THC test. Hence, this is the first precaution to take.
Next, CBD oil consumption may produce low-risk adverse effects such as drowsiness, diarrhea or nausea. The last two may sometimes be attributed to the oil intake and not necessarily the molecule. Common oils are hemp oil, MCT or olive.
Finally, dangers of CBD, in oil or other form, may manifest itself if the consumer suffers from health complications. In that case, asking a doctor for a medical advice is essential.
In effect, this hemp extract is an active molecule, which means it interacts with other molecules in the human body, especially in the liver. If health complications or medical treatment are linked to the liver, once more, we highly recommend that you do not consume CBD unless you have a doctor’s approval.
