What is CBD oil?

The popularity of CBD oil is on the rise, but what is it, really? CBD oil is made from hemp and contains the substance cannabidiol, or CBD. Typically, CBD oil is made with hemp seed oil, or olive oil, supplemented with a CBD extract. Hemp is a class of cannabis plant (Cannabis sativa L) and is grown primarily for its fiber. The seeds of this plant contain oil, which is used to make hemp seed oil. Hemp seed has all kinds of health benefits for the body. It contains antioxidants, proteins and several important healthy fats, like omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

The leaves and flowers of the hemp plant contain CBD, and hardly any THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). This is therefore a difference between hemp and weed: although they both belong to Cannabis sativa L., they are used for different applications. Weed plants are generally selected for high THC percentages, while this is not the case with hemp.

Therefore, you don't have to worry about getting high from CBD oil. All CBD products for sale in our CBDshop are produced legally. This means that only a maximum of 0.05% THC can be found in CBD products, this is determined by law. Of this minute amount you cannot possibly notice anything, therefore CBD oil is legal and safe to take. 
The best CBD products are from brands such as Cibiday, Jacob Hooy and Cibdol, and consist of EU-certified fiber hemp, which are also grown naturally. This means that no pesticides are used and the cultivation process of the plant is done in the most ecological way possible.

What does CBD oil do?

CBD is able to behave like a substance inherent in the body. That is, our body recognizes and readily absorbs the substance via our endocannabinoid system. This system regulates several important functions in our body, such as our sleep, mood, and energy. CBD oil might help with a variety of conditions and complaints, both physical and mental.
There is a huge list of reasons why people use cannabidiol, and it keeps on growing. CBD is 100% natural, and safe to use. We sometimes get questions from customers, such as "What CBD oil for anxiety?" or "What CBD oil for pain?". Basically, all types of CBD oil are suitable to use. The biggest difference is in the strength and dosage. The perfect dose is different for everyone. 
Here are some examples of conditions and complaints for which people use CBD:

• Rheumatism
• Arthritis
• Pain 
• Skin problems
• Insomnia
• Anxiety 
• Depression
• Memory
• Forgetfulness
• Immune system
• Motoric functions
• Appetite
• Mood
• Sleep pattern

What is the difference between CBD oil and cannabis oil?

People regularly confuse CBD oil with cannabis oil. The main difference is that CBD oil does not contain a significant amount of THC. This is the cannabinoid found in the marijuana plant, and produces a psychoactive effect. Weed plants are known for their recreational and medicinal purposes, and typically have high concentrations of THC. 

Unlike cannabis oil, where you experience a strong psychoactive effect, CBD oil is suitable for everyone. This is because CBD oil does not cause a change in consciousness. Therefore, you do not become intoxicated and can safely take it at any time of the day.

What is the best CBD oil?

The best CBD oil is different for everyone. If you're wondering which CBD product is best to buy, our advice is: start small, and build up the dosage slowly. Generally, it is best to start between 20 and 40 mg a day and increase it with 5 mg each week. So, the CBD oil+ 30ml 2.75% CBD from Jacob Hooy would be a good product to start with because it has a low CBD percentage. This is a suitable oil to get acquainted with cannabidiol and has about 1,25  mg CBD per drop. It is always wise to start with a few drops, 1 to 3 times a day. If you take 8 drops, you’ll have 10 mg CBD. This is equivalent to one capsule of 60 CBD capsules 10mg.

The number of drops varies from about 3 to as many as 15 drops. If building up your dosage requires you to take too many drops, it may be better to choose a higher CBD percentage. For example CBD oil 15% 10ml from Cibiday. That way you need to take fewer drops.

How to use it

CBD oil is taken through a pipette. Drop the oil under your tongue and wait a few minutes before swallowing. This way, the oil can be better absorbed through the oral mucosa for optimal utilization. 

Most users take CBD as a daily supplement, but this depends on your personal needs. For example, if you exercise regularly, it may also be fine to take it only on days when you are very active.

You can take CBD in the morning, as well as in the evening. People with sleep problems use it more often at bedtime, but with chronic pain it may be better to take the oil (also) during the day. 

You cannot become addicted to CBD oil. If possible, you can take a break now and then to see what it does to you. 

CBD oil: side effects

Even though CBD oil is safe to use, side effects may occur for some users. This is not common, and serious side effects or disadvantages of CBD are not known. Some possible side effects of CBD oil:

• Dry mouth
• Drowsiness
• Diarrhea
• Dizziness

Therefore, it is important to always build up slowly to minimize side effects of CBD oil. 

Do you take medication? Always consult a doctor before you start using CBD. This is to check whether CBD could possibly have an interaction effect on the medication.

Full spectrum CBD oil

The different types of CBD oil each have their own benefits. Many CBD users choose full spectrum CBD oil. That is, CBD oil in its most natural form. For this oil, the hemp plant is utilized as fully as possible, so other cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids are also present in the oil. The color of this product is usually darker, thanks to chlorophyll, or chlorophyll granules, which are naturally present in the hemp plant. There is still plenty of research being done on the other substances found in the hemp plant, and it might be that these substances have a synergistic effect. That is, they help and support each other in creating a holistic effect. Researchers also call this the ‘entourage effect’. 

Other types of CBD oil, also called broad spectrum CBD oil, is usually filtered, which means that certain contents of the hemp plant are present less or not at all. Broad spectrum CBD oil often tastes a bit more ‘nutty’, and less bitter than full spectrum CBD oil.

CBD oil for pain

One reason why people use CBD oil for pain is because CBD could be pain relieving. CBD might be used for all kinds of pain. Think of pain from cancer, chronic pain, muscle pain, neck pain and so on. More research is still needed, but there are scientists investigating the extent to which cannabidiol can be beneficial for pain relief. Although we are unfortunately not allowed to make health claims about CBD, CBD oil for pain is often used by our customers.
