Top Reasons You Should Try CBD

CBD Oil Tincture

The human body has long been an incredible piece of evolution that we often take for granted. The body should function in homeostasis, the perfect balance the systems within our body need to allow us to feel happy and healthy. We know how terrible you can feel when those systems are out of sync, god forbid even a running nose comes our way! 

Before turning to pharmaceuticals and chemicals to aid the normal function of your body, consider natural supplements with a plethora of benefits, such as CBD products. This short read will provide you with a general overview of CBD, in addition to exploring the incredible benefits it brings.

 

What Is CBD?

CBD simply stands for cannabidiol and is a type of cannabinoid. It accounts for 40% of the hemp plant extract. The difference between CBD and cannabis that is used medically or recreationally, is the source of the extract.

Hemp and marijuana are both parts of the cannabis plant family. CBD is extracted from hemp plants, whereas cannabis containing active psychedelic components known as THC, is extracted from marijuana plants. So, you can forget the high when taking CBD but instead reap its proven benefits. CBD products generally contain no more than 0.2% THC.

 The benefits of CBD include:

  • Reduced anxiety and stress
  • Improved sleep
  • Increased focus
  • Pain relief
  • Supports a healthy heart

There are many CBD products available due to the steep rise in the interest the industry is receiving. Let us explore the options that might suit your needs.

 

A Vast Variety of Wonderful Products

To a CBD novice, the incredible variety of CBD products available may seem intimidating. Do you need one you can chew, and will it taste bad? Does your body need pure CBD oil or CBD gel? The truth is, it all depends on the benefit you’re aiming to seek and your personal preference. There is so much CBD oil for sale as well as many other wonderful products. We will break it down for you and show you the varieties available and their added benefits.

 

CBD Oil and Oil Tinctures

People starting their CBD journey usually begin by trying CBD oil. But what is CBD oil? You might ask. CBD oil is simply the cannabidiol extract combined with a carrier oil, usually hemp or coconut oil. It can be placed in food, drinks, or even simply a drop or two under the tongue will do. It’s favored because it’s easy to use, has a variety of ways it can be used and comes in a variety of strengths.

It’s important to know there is a difference between CBD oil found in a CBD tincture and pure CBD oil. Pure CBD oil is, as we mentioned above, made with a carrier oil. Or in some cases, the pure extract in a bottle. A CBD tincture is produced by steeping the plant in high-based alcohol first. This is then strained and bottled. The benefits of both are the same, it’s just a different production method. The alcohol increases the shelf-life of the oil. The best CBD oil tincture will depend on the strength you need and the taste you like.

You can buy CBD oil in a variety of strengths. It’s always advised to start with a smaller strength and work your way up. Typically, bottles of CBD oil start at a strength of 500mg. Although, there are many for sale that starts at a lower dose. You can also purchase full spectrum CBD oil which means it is formed using a combination of different plants. The THC content is slightly higher at 0.3%. Fear not, this is still far too low to induce a high.

Tinctures are generally found to be higher in strength, starting at 1000mg and above. The highest dose we offer here at Hemp Emu is 10,000mg. If you buy CBD tincture, be sure to speak to a professional first to ensure it’s the right option for you. As there are no psychedelic effects or risks to CBD, it is personal preference as to the strength you choose and what form it comes in.

 

CBD Gummies

CBD gummies are seen by most as the easier alternative to taking pure CBD oil. If you’re looking for a quick CBD intake without having to worry about what you can put CBD oil in, this is the option for you. Gummies are great because they can come in a variety of flavors, shapes, and sizes, making them an attractive option for most. 

CBD gummies are usually combined with other supplements to support the body, such as multivitamins. At night, the gummies may contain melatonin which is naturally produced in the body as part of your body’s natural circadian rhythm. The strengths we sell at Hemp Emu are 750mg and 1,500mg, as well as a 750mg night-time option.

 

 

CBD Topicals

Topicals come in the form of a CBD cream, gel, and a roll-on. They’re excellent for those with an isolated area that needs improving. A CBD roll on can be used for joint pain, for example. Whereas, CBD creams can be used to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis. CBD topicals are becoming more popular and are often used in combination with CBD oil. 

A CBD roll on topical is perfect for those needing CBD that can be absorbed fast. Even though the other CBD topical options are absorbed well, roll on products tend to be the lightest in consistency and therefore the easiest to absorb.

 

The Life-Changing Benefits

We wanted to round the benefits up into one section as the benefits are so vast, yet all the methods of absorption produce them all in their own way. CBD is an option people turn to in a time of need and a time of curiosity. CBD is beneficial for the mind, body, and soul. CBD for pain relief, in particular, is one of the most researched benefits. A CBD roll on or a CBD gel is great for isolated pain. 

 Taking any form of cannabinoid daily can improve insomnia, depression, alleviate cancer-related symptoms, and generally improve the relationship you have with your body.

Finally, CBD oil is also praised for its ability to calm the mind and improve its focus. It’s obviously and unfortunately not a cure and should always be used alongside other holistic methods. 

 

Conclusion

We hope the comprehensive overview has given you a great insight into the variety of different CBD products available and the benefits they will bring. If you’re yet to try any form of CBD, the products at Hemp Emu are a great place to start.
