CBD oil: all you need to know

by Greg Bauman CBD Expert

CBD oil is a hemp extract used in medicine as an adjuvant (food supplement) in the treatment of various diseases. In this article, we will understand the dosages, legislation, production, and principles of the action of oil on the human body.

CBD oil is hemp extract from legitimate hemp varieties, which contains a cocktail of medicinal cannabinoids, primarily containing CBD - cannabidiol. The content of THC in the product does not exceed the statutory limit of 0.2%.

CBD Oil: Dosage and Administration

Drops of CBD oil are absorbed through the mucous membrane (oral cavity) or taken with food and drink. For prevention, it is necessary to take 1-5 drops per day. In cases of concomitant treatment - up to 10 drops daily, in severe cases - more than 10 drops daily. You should always start from a small dosage and gradually increase it. Dosage for children is calculated based on weight. There are no contraindications.

CBD oil helps in the treatment of:

Nausea, vomiting, autism, diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, autoimmune diseases such as allergies and asthma, liver and brain damage, inflammation, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, cancer, and is also suitable for daily prevention of common diseases, lowering the pH level organism.

CBD oil and legislation

CBD oil - hemp extract - according to CBD Review definition - is a “raw material for further processing”, like all plants. CBD oil is a pure plant extract diluted in hemp seed oil.

You should be aware that non-germinated hemp seeds, unlike adult plants, do not have a psychotropic effect because they do not contain THC, and therefore their turnover with their participation is not criminally punishable and in all countries of the world is loyal: in confirmation of this, the abundance of decorative ornaments is handmade work with hemp seeds, in health food stores and pet stores.

CBD oil production

CBD oil is produced by distillation - a method known since ancient times and used to separate liquids by distillation. The liquid mixture is obtained by soaking hemp flowers in alcohol, in which all cannabinoids contained in the flower are released. After distillation, the permissible THC content should not exceed 0.2%, while the remaining cannabinoids can be contained in any quantity, which allows you to create a cocktail of cannabinoids - CBD oil.

The principle of action of CBD oil in the human body

In the human body, there are nerve receptors CB1 and CB2. They are located primarily in the central and peripheral nervous systems. CB1 receptors are present in the largest amount in the brain! These receptors respond to (activated or deactivated) cannabinoids - those that the body produces itself (endocannabinoids), as well as plant origins, such as CBD, CBN, and THC. CBD primarily affects CB1 receptors (located in the brain) preventing dopamine activation and inhibiting hyperactivity. In this way, CBD calms the nervous and immune systems and thereby helps with nervous and mental problems, as well as autoimmune diseases that are caused by an overreaction of the immune system.
