- CBD
Hemp has many uses but lately, the extraction of its cannabidiol molecule has made headlines, especially in France. Cannabidiol, a legal molecule in France with no psychoptropic effects, has many relaxing and soothing effects on the body. Among the different methods of consuming the molecule, CBD oil has to be the most healthy way as well as the most efficient one. If you don’t know what it is, let us explain what it is, where you can find the best CBD oil in France and how it works.

What is CBD oil ?
CBD oil has 2 main ingredients : a carrier oil (Olive, MCT, hemp) and a hemp extract. Carrier oil helps the body absorb cannabinoids. The hemp extract, containing the precious molecules, also has to be diluted. There aren’t that many differences between CBD oil with a hemp base, compared to MCT, except in terms of taste.
You may notice that we use “hemp extract” because there are in fact a multitude of cannabinoids in CBD oil, except those that are made with CBD isolate. When CBD oil has many molecules, we talk about full spectrum CBD or broad spectrum CBD : full spectrum has traces of THC below 0,3% and broad spectrum has none – generally speaking.
With CBD oil, we recommend a few drops under the tongue. Wait for at least one minute and swallow everything. However, you can also put a few drops in your favorite hot beverage but the molecule will be digested. It means it won’t go through the lining under the tongue, which is where CBD can be most immediate.
CBD oil : what does it do?
To begin with, CBD oil has many benefits, thanks to its soothing effects and its anti-inflammatory properties. To know more, we wrote an article to help you better understand CBD’s effects. In any case, it’s important to remind that CBD doesn’t provide a “high”, unlike THC, the psychotropic molecule in hemp. Furthermore, CBD has no therapeutic benefits and can’t replace a medical treatment.
Generally, CBD can help when you feel stressed, regularly or occasionally. Today, 1 out of 5 people in France experiences stress regularly and it is difficult to find healthy and natural solutions. This precious molecule, by affecting the endocannabinoid system, can help regulate homeostasis functions and internal equilibrium.
Nonetheless, its efficiency can vary depending on individuals, especially when we talk about CBD oil for sleep. Here at Bleu Candide, we do everything we can to help you fall asleep. We added extracts of sweet orange, roman chamomille and marjoram, known for their soothing effects, to our 15% CBD oil.
Best places to find them in France
In most french-speaking countries like Belgium or France, you can find CBD oil in pharmacies. Always check beforehand because the quality can vary, especially if they are made with CBD isolate. Similarly, we don’t recommend you blindly purchase a CBD oil on Amazon. Since legislation isn’t consistent across the world, some products on the platform may be illegal in your country. Or worse, it might not contain CBD at all !
We’ve created different blends on our website, with different uses in mind. Hercule, for a light and everyday use, as well as égérie, for more intense sensations of relaxation. We ship everywhere in France and Europe. Finally, we have promotions on our website, to help you discover the molecule and care for your wallet !
Our last advice : choose french CBD, natural ingredients & be responsible.
At Bleu Candide, we really are convinced by the potential of this formidable hemp extract. Yet, because it is a new product on the market, we recommend caution and that you follow these few tips :
- Choose French CBD brands. Especially if you live there, its easier to contact them. Furthermore, France’s government is tough with cannabidiol, so the french sector takes the quality of their products seriously. At least, we really do !
- Make sure you choose natural ingredients. If you treat yourself to some natural CBD oil, make sure everything else is natural as well.
- Gather informations. There are many website and articles, including ours, to choose the best product that fits you and get an opinion.
- Use CBD responsibly. Even with no apparent long-term effects, consume CBD, like the best things in life, with légèreté (lightly !).
CBD oil is, for us, the best way to consume it since it sometimes has nearly immediate effects. It is made up of a carrier oil and a hemp extract, will help you naturally and easily, soothe yourself after a long day at work, after sport or before an important meeting. A few drops under the tongue for at least 1 minute, swallow everything and you may feel better. If you’re looking for high-quality french CBD, come see us !
