How to take CBD oil?
It is best to pour the CBD oil directly under the tongue. Under the tongue is the oral mucosa, so your body can absorb it quickly and it ends up in the right places. Optionally, you can first drop the CBD oil onto a spoon so you can see what you are doing.
For optimal effect, follow these steps:
- Always shake the CBD bottle well before using it.
- Pour in the CBD oil.
- You wait 60 seconds.
- Swallow the oil.
- You can rinse your mouth with water if necessary. This is not mandatory, but it can make the experience more pleasant.
Some people also pour the oil on bread, yogurt, or a teaspoon of honey to mask the taste. This can't hurt, but it doesn't give your oral mucosa time to fully absorb the CBD. After all, you don't leave the oil under your tongue for a while before swallowing it. It's best to place it pure under your tongue. If you find the taste a little too intense, you can use aids at first. You will slowly get used to the taste, after which you can switch to pure CBD oil.
CBD Oil Dosage
Let's get straight to the point: the right dosage of CBD oil is different for everyone. You can determine a dosage of CBD oil based on weight, but this excludes so many important indicators. There are quite a few points that influence the need and whether you are sensitive to this substance.
For example, consider:
- The degree of stress you are feeling at that moment.
- Your mindset. A negative mindset requires more energy.
- Your lifestyle. For example, do you exercise regularly, get enough sleep, and eat healthily?
- Certain medications that you take regularly or sporadically.
- Your diet. Do you eat a little healthier or a lot of junk food?
- How sensitive are you to supplements?
At one point, CBD oil may work well, while the next time you may feel nothing or not the same. There are so many indicators that have an influence. The "correct" dosage therefore differs between individuals and often between periods. As with all other supplements.
Listen to your body
But don't be sad. By trying different amounts, you can find out what works for you. Even if you are more stressed and/or busier for a while, it is sometimes helpful to increase the dose slightly. Do what works for you and listen to your body - that is the most important message.
For example, a good starting dose is...
Of course, there are guidelines you can use to determine a starting dose. For example, you can start with one drop in the morning and one drop in the evening. Then, you can slowly increase the dose. Leave a few days between each increase, so you can feel how your body reacts.
How quickly can you increase the number of drops of CBD oil?
The most important tip is to listen to your body when it comes to dosing CBD oil correctly. Listening to your body and seeing how you react is not possible if you increase the dose too quickly. That is why it is important to leave a few days between each increase. This way, you give your body time to adapt and react.
Why in oil format?
The oil is absorbed through the oral mucosa because it flows under the tongue and is left to act for a while before swallowing. It therefore takes effect quite quickly. Sometimes within 20 minutes. It is true that this way, the CBD oil also leaves the body more quickly.
When is the best time to take CBD oil?
It is best not to take CBD oil at one time of the day, but to spread it over several times. Since this supplement is absorbed more quickly by the body and also leaves more quickly, it can be beneficial to spread it throughout the day. This way, you will benefit from it throughout the day.
What happens if I take too much CBD?
We always recommend increasing the amount of CBD oil gradually. An overdose of CBD is very unlikely. However, if you are considering an extremely high dose (more than 20 drops per dose), discuss it with your doctor.
