Trying CBD oil for the first time? This guide covers everything beginners need to know.
What is CBD Oil?
CBD oil is an extract from hemp containing cannabidiol (CBD) mixed with a carrier oil (usually MCT, hemp seed, or olive oil). It's taken orally, usually under the tongue.
How CBD Oil Works
CBD interacts with your body's endocannabinoid system (ECS), which regulates:
- Mood and stress response
- Sleep
- Pain and inflammation
- Immune function
How to Use CBD Oil
- Shake the bottle
- Fill the dropper to desired amount
- Place oil under your tongue
- Hold for 60-90 seconds
- Swallow
