WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO TAKE CBD?

CBD is used to correct a number of ailments,  but lately the use of CBD oil has become more and more predominant due to the rise of opioid based product abuse. The most appropriate delivery system for CBD-rich hemp is one that provides an optimal dose for a desired duration, with as few unwanted side effects as possible. CBD-rich hemp oils varietals for smoking or vaping are available in some medical marijuana dispensaries, but many CBD patients prefer non-inhalable products made with hemp oil concentrates. As of recently, fully approved by federal law, measurable doses of potent CBD-rich hemp remedies are available in many non-smokable forms and can be utilized in various ways. The time of onset and duration of effect vary depending on the method of administration. CBD-rich hemp oil products can be taken sublingually, orally (as edibles, lozenges, beverages, tinctures, and gel caps), or applied topically. Concentrated hemp oil extracts can also be heated and inhaled with a vape pen. Inhalation is good for treating acute symptoms that require immediate attention; the effects can be felt within a minute or two and typically last for a couple of hours. The effects of orally administered CBD-rich hemp oil can last for four hours or more, but the onset of effects is much slower (30-90 minutes) than inhalation. Are there alternatives to the slow processing topicals and oral delivery methods. 

Using a brand like PCR Pharms, a medical grade CBD producer, may drastically increase your bio-absorption by adding natural emulsifiers in with your daily use. An emulsifier is a substance that stabilizes an emulsion, in particular a food additive used to stabilize processed foods. In the case of hemp oil, the emulsifier helps to open up pores in your skin and will rapidly draw a substance into your bloodstream. Emulsifiers can be found in a  number of places, but lucky for you, they mostly come from nature. PCR Pharms uses a fern from South America to dilate pours and increase effectiveness by up to 90%. ​

With the use of many different delivery systems, topicals are becoming more widely used throughout the CBD industry. Medically, salves and balms are used to treat skin inflammation and are becoming a better treatment regimen for some neurological disorders. Choose the best method for your need and allow some time to adjust to the product before you abandon its usage.
