CBD IS Much More Than Vaping: New Products To Look Out For
When most people think of CBD, their thoughts go straight to vaping. This is because it has become a hugely popular means to enjoy CBD consumption.
However, this is not the only way to get the most out of CBD, as there are many other products available on the market these days.
To find out what these are and how they can benefit you, read on.
What is CBD?
First, it is important to understand what CBD is. It stands for cannabidiol, which is derived from the hemp plant and is the second main ingredient in cannabis. However, the difference is cannabidiol does not cause the high that people associate with marijuana.
In fact, according to Neuropsychopharmacology: “Acute CBD alone is unlikely to significantly impair daily functioning or workplace performance.”
Indeed, there are actually many benefits associated with CBD, which is why it is being used more and more, particularly to improve people’s health or standard of living. For instance, it has been known to reduce pain, improve mood, calm inflammation, and treat seizure disorders.
The American Cancer Society even states there is evidence that suggests it has anticancer properties or can help manage side effects of treatments.
What are the most popular CBD products available?
It is hard to discuss the most popular CBD products without mentioning CBD disposable vapes.
CBD vapes
Vapes are the easiest way to consume CBD, and therefore, reap its benefits. Absorption of CBD in the body is up to 80 per cent more effective than ingesting CBD oil, as a disposable vape typically contains around 150mg of CBD.
Therefore, they help people enjoy its pain relief benefits far more quickly. They can also improve users’ sleep and reduce anxiety, both of which may be affected if they are suffering from chronic pain.
CBD vapes come in different strengths, so people can start off on a low dose and increase the strength should they want a greater impact. There are also different flavours, from pineapple and lime to strawberry and kiwi.
Therefore, users don’t have to taste the earthy flavour of CBD, and can enjoy it in a flavour they prefer.
CBD gummies
Gummies are a really effective way of ingesting something, as they are extremely palatable. Each gummy typically contains around 30mg of CBD, and it is the most popular way to consume CBD, according to a recent Heathline survey.
Chocolates, candies, capsules, mints and lozenges are also available with CBD in them. The effect typically takes up to two hours to be felt, and can last a few hours.
Beverages, such as tea, allow the CBD to be absorbed into the body more quickly than food products. However, their effects do not last as long.
CBD lip balm
CBD isn’t just great for reducing pain, aiding sleep, improving inflammation and managing the side effects from cancer treatments. It is also great for the skin.
Therefore, using a balm can really help with issues like irritated skin, rashes, burns, and even conditions like psoriasis and eczema. At the same time, it can relieve dry, cracked lips.
CBD lip balm is usually paired with other natural ingredients, such as coconut butter, jojoba oil, beeswax, almond oil or shea butter, to make it really moisturising and nourishing.
A small 10ml tub will contain around 50mg of CBD, though you only need a small amount on your skin or lips to feel the effects.
As well as lip balm, you can find CBD creams, lotions, oils, salves, and ointments, all of which are designed to treat skin conditions. They can also relieve muscle or joint pain, so can be used on injuries and aches.
Transdermal products, such as patches, are even more effective at providing relief, as they allow the CBD to travel through the skin and reach the bloodstream.
CBD oil
CBD oil works by being absorbed directly underneath the tongue, so it has a similar impact to ingesting the CBD.
You can put a couple of drops of CBD oil under the tongue, and this quickly becomes absorbed by the body.
While this means it can be consumed easily, its impact is not as great as vaping, which can be absorbed immediately in the body.
