CBD OIL AND HEMP OIL ARE DIFFERENT THINGS
Hemp oil is extracted from hemp seeds, and does not contain CBD (or any other cannabinoids). Hemp oil has its own set of benefits that are different from CBD. It contains good fats and trace elements, perfect as part of a healthy diet.
CBD oil is extracted from the cannabis plant and is combined with a base oil (mainly). It contains Cannabidiol, CBD, and is therefore considered to be active.
THE ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM
The Endocannabinoid System, or SEC, is a cell signaling system in our body. A lot of research is still underway, but they are thought to play a role in the regulation of sleep, mood, appetite, memory, reproduction and fertility. Whether you use cannabis or not, you therefore have a cannabinoid endo system made to interact with Cannabis.
The cannabinoids made by the plant are called Phyto Cannabinoids while those made by our body are Endo Cannabinoids. CBD Oil therefore acts naturally on our body.
REMARKABLE HEALTH BENEFITS
Cbd is believed to help with many problems including anxiety, inflammation, headaches, epilepsy, arthritis, head trauma, stomach health, chronic and acute pain and more.
FULL SPECTRUM AND ISOLATED CBD ARE DIFFERENT.
CBD isolate (isolated CBD) is a crystalline powder that contains only CBD. The CBD isolate is filtered to the maximum, which limits its effectiveness at many dosage levels, but may make it easier to take for people who can’t stand Full Spectrum taste.
The full spectrum is a vegetable oil that has additional compounds, other than CBD itself. These additional components include other cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids. Research claims that it is more effective thanks to the so-called “entourage” effect. CBD, surrounded by other cannabinoids such as CBG and CBN, is more effective than when isolated.
KNOW WHAT YOU ARE INVESTING IN
As there are no quality standards yet, it is important to do your research before purchasing a product, whether you are a Client of L’Herbe Douce or not. Here are some good practices:
– Buy from vendors who have independent third party testing
– Ask if the product is made with full spectrum oil or cbd isolate.
– Ask about the extraction method, whether it is solvent based or not.
CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR:
In order to properly manage your care, you should tell your doctor about any medications or supplements you are taking. It will help them determine the best treatment option for your condition, and keep you safe from other risks.
WATCH OUT FOR HARMFUL DRUGS:
According to research, CBD may increase the risks of some drugs while undermining others. Also note that your CBD product may also contain other compounds like THC, which can alter your cognition and have long term effects on learning and memory loss. It is best if you are looking for products that only contain CBD and no other compounds.
SIDE EFFECTS?
Cbd is very safe, but it can interact with other pharmaceuticals. At certain dosages, cbd can affect the way we metabolize pain relievers, blood thinners, statins, insulin, and more. While this interaction can be dangerous, CBD can also lower side effects and can improve a patient’s quality of life. CBD products have great therapeutic potential and can also reduce withdrawal and addiction. The problems are caused when very high doses of CBD isolate products are taken.
