Due in large part to the legalized marijuana laws and through word of mouth, CBD has been receiving some well-deserved attention. Although there is still continuous research being done on the molecule, the findings so far have been quite positive for numerous health concerns. CBD is non-synthetic and is a naturally-occurring chemical compound found in the cannabis plant.

CBD is short for Cannabidiol and is one of over 100 non-psychoactive plant cannabinoids compounds found in the Hemp plant. High in CBD, the hemp plants are compounds that are typically extracted from the plant using either CO2 or hydrocarbon extraction methods.

  Different plant cannabinoids

CBD Oils are enjoyed sublingually – under the tongue. This allows the CBD to dissolve and diffuse into your bloodstream through the thin skin tissue under your tongue. This is the quickest way to intake CBD, as you will notice the effectiveness within around 5 minutes and typically can last from 2-4 hours. When consuming CBD, the compounds spread throughout your body as it makes it way though the bloodstream, so for any chronic pain we always suggest to take CBD oil sublingually, AND, apply a topical skin cream or balm directly onto the source where you require relief ( legs, hands, back, neck etc..) – target from both the inside and out!.

You can enjoy CBD through treats eaten such as gummies. CBD gummies are a tasty and convenient way to keep your CBD handy if you are on-the –go and require relief throughout the day. Easy to consume and mess free!

When eating a CBD gummy, compounds have to go through your digestion system first so this means it may take longer for you to enjoy results usually 30mins +. Ingested CBD can provide results for 4-6 hours.

Topical CBD skin creams and skin balms are a great way to provide relief by targeting muscle and bone pain, inflammation, skin conditions and dry skin. Apply the CBD skin cream, oil or balm directly onto desired area (ex- hands, neck, shoulders, legs, back, head etc..) and ensure to massage the product in well so it penetrates though your skin to provide quick relief that can last hours.

Topical creams and balms do not enter the bloodstream, so the compounds stay where they are applied.

CBD has many potential benefits. It has been found to be anti-inflammatory and have great anti-oxidant power. Topical blends work in the area that they are applied to, which is a benefit for those who don’t want to ingest their CBD but want to enjoy its other potential benefits.
