What is CBD oil ?

I am sure most of you have seen the products now in stores, online or in the news since it seems to be extremely popular. CBD Oil or Cannabidiol (CBD), is a compound produced by the cannabis plant. No, it is not marijuana, which many people are confused about. It is a natural essential oil extracted from the leaves of a cannabis plant. The big difference between marijuana and CBD is the cannabidiol does not contain THC so the user does not get high.

The History of CBD Oil

CBD oil is on record as being in use in ancient China around the year of 6000 B.C. It was first used for medicine in China around 2700 B.C. From Egypt to Ancient Greece, the cannabis plant became known as a sacred medicine used for everything from mental health issues, hair growth, menstrual pain to headaches. Today, the uses have expanded exponentially.

Is CBD Oil Legal in the United States

Since CBD is not the same as marijuana, it can be bought online and shipped to your home. Thanks to the Farm Bill Of 2018, CBD from hemp is allowed in each state across the US.

How can you take CBD oil?

You have many options on how to take CBD oil but each has pros and cons. This will help you break it down so you make the decision best for yourself.

* CBD Tinctures: taking a few  drops of tinctures is one of the cheapest methods but the con is you won’t get as many benefits as you would from vape oil.

* CBD Vape Oil: You get a more rapid effect from Vaping because it enters the bloodstream quicker but the con is many people don’t like the idea of vaping because it goes to your lungs.

* CBD Balms: I love using the balms for muscle and joint pain. I have recently been using the balm on my plantar fasciitis and it is working wonders. Of course if you need CBD oil for anxiety, or other health reasons, you will need to use another method as you wouldn’t ingest a balm. At least I hope you wouldn’t try it.
