Can you add Sugar to your CBD oil?

Yes, you can consume CBD oil with sugar. However, it is recommended to consume hemp oil sublingually or with a fatty substance such as whole milk or honey for better absorption.

With its recent surge in popularity, hemp oil has become a prioritized research element for researchers. Some very interesting studies allow us to realize the many positive effects of hemp on the body. But one thing remains essential: knowing how to handle hemp oil. What are its benefits? How do you go about it? Can you consume hemp oil with sugar? Here are some answers for you.

What are the advantages of using CBD  oil?

The use of CBD oil appears to be very beneficial to the body. Among its many benefits are:

CBD oil's effects on Epilepsy & Cancer

CBD oil is used to relieve the effects of diseases such as epilepsy and cancer. It is also used to help reduce pain and inflammation due to its anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, its relaxing properties help reduce anxiety and stress, as well as relax the nervous system.

Thus, CBD oil is used to relax the body and may relieve pain caused by certain diseases. In other cases, CBD oil can contribute to weight loss.

Research is currently being conducted on the positive effects it can have on diseases such as autism. A few years ago, in Israel, some researchers claimed that CBD oil could be an effective way to fight this disease. It was even used to delay the onset of autism symptoms.

CBD oil helps relieve Anxiety Disorders

CBD oil is not only known for its positive effects on epilepsy and cancer. It can be used to aid the reduction of anxiety disorders. It can also be used by people with type 1 diabetes. Indeed, this disease occurs when the immune system attacks the cells of the pancreas, causing inflammation. This inflammation may be alleviated by CBD oil to protect the victim from many more ailments.

CBD oil's Effects on Skin

CBD oil can also help reduce the production of sebum, a cell known to trigger acne. Its use is not limited to acne and can extend to the relief of many skin-related inflammations. In addition, the production of CBD oil in the form of creams makes it easier to apply to the skin topically.

What are the Side Effects of CBD oil?

Even though CBD oil can be used for a wide range of ailments and conditions, it is important to know what it is used for. Indeed, too much CBD oil can cause side effects such as nausea, dizziness, and tiredness.

If you find yourself in this situation, we encourage you to learn about what carrier oils are. Indeed, some CBD oils can be very concentrated and too powerful to consume. It is therefore important to know what carrier oils are and what they are used for.

In any case, although they may be uncomfortable, these are not serious side effects or ones that cause conflicts in the body. Nevertheless, it remains important to know everything about the uses of CBD oil and to determine the exact and appropriate dose to consume.

How do I use CBD oil?

The majority of people who take CBD oil often wonder how to go about it. There are no fixed methods that define how to go about it, but a few answers will guide one and all.

Can I use sugar with my CBD oil?

Yes, it is quite possible to take CBD oil with sugar. Since sugar is lighter, there is no risk that it will weigh down the stomach to the point of delaying the release of the oil’s effects. Better yet, some CBD oils have the particularity of being bitter. To attenuate this taste, it is best to combine the intake of CBD oil with sugar.

In addition, sugar proves to be a food capable of providing some unexpected help to CBD oil. The combination of these two elements can only be more than beneficial. Nevertheless, for people with diabetes, this is not recommended. To benefit from the attenuating effects of CBD oil, it is better to avoid adding sugar, as it would only increase its presence in the blood.

Should I take CBD oil during my meal?

You are certainly wondering when to take CBD oil. During a meal or otherwise? To put your worries to rest, CBD oil can be taken outside of meals or during them. In either case, the essential thing is that it will be well assimilated.

It is often recommended to opt for sublingual intake, i.e. under the tongue. With this method, it is easier for CBD oil to produce its rapid effects to relieve pain or other ailments. This is the best way to let the cannabidiol substance pass into the blood, so as not to suffer the stronger effect of any food intake.

What about taking CBD oil orally?

As for CBD oil taken orally, whether accompanied by food, sugar or otherwise, it will be just as well assimilated. The effects will be the same and the duration will not be reduced. Also remember that if you have a full stomach, you will have more difficulty digesting CBD oil. If the passage of CBD oil through the intestines is delayed, the effects will take longer to be released. Patience will therefore be required to see the effects if you take oil directly after a good and long meal. However, you can take CBD oil any time of the day, we recommend letting the oil sit under your tongue for around 60 seconds then washing down with a glass of water.

How long before the first effects of CBD oil?

After a few minutes of taking it, the first positive effects of CBD oil will be felt. Once the oil is present under the tongue, it will be digested as slowly as possible to make room for more significant effects. These will last longer and can be evaluated at around 2 to 5 hours.

Most researchers estimate that it takes an average of 30 minutes to see the first benefits of taking CBD oil. Similarly, the waiting time necessary for the effects released after digestion is estimated at an average of 1 hour and 30 minutes. Interestingly enough, CBD oil seems to work best when taken with fatty foods. For a little more comfort, it is recommended to take CBD oil with a dairy product if you want to take it during a meal.

Should I use CBD oil multiple times a day?

If you want to take CBD oil daily, it is recommended to have a regular and fair intake three times a day. Since the effects of the oil can last up to 8 hours, separating the intakes into 3 states allows you to fully benefit from them for 24 hours.

The best way to go about it? Take a dose of CBD oil before each meal, three times a day.

If you prefer to use it occasionally, you don’t need to wait for meals before taking it. Just take a few drops of CBD oil under your tongue to observe immediate effects.

What are the forms of commercialization of CBD oil?

Although the original presentation is oil, there are different presentations that, depending on the case, can offer more or less advantages. That said, CBD oil is currently available in liquid form, cream, capsules, paste, and spray liquids as well as ointments and sprays.

Despite these different forms, the effect of CBD oil can only be effective according to the appropriate dose for each individual. There is therefore no perfect recommended or required form.

What is the recommended dose for CBD oil?

As in traditional medicine, finding the right dose of CBD oil requires a testing process. Ideally, the oil is 100% effective at certain dosages, taking into account aspects such as age, weight, sex, etc. However, it has been shown that the same dose has different effects on two people with identical characteristics.

Therefore, constant testing is recommended. As mentioned above, for those who are new to using CBD oil, it is best to start with as low a dose as possible. Gradually increase the dose in a controlled manner over time. The FSA recommends taking no more than 75mg of CBD a day.

What can't you mix CBD oil with?

CBD oil can prevent certain enzymes in the body from functioning properly. These are often enzymes intended for the breakdown of certain drugs containing certain substances. This can cause an increase in harmful substances in the blood and pose a high health risk. Here are some of the substances not to be combined with CBD oil:

  • Immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclosporine
  • Macrolide antibiotics such as clarithromycin and telithromycin
  • Migraine medication such as ergotamine
  • Opioid analgesics such as fentanyl or alfentanil

Where to find CBD oil?

It is now known that CBD oil can be extracted from various forms of cannabis, including hemp, better known as cannabis sativa. This is a variant of cannabis characterized by low levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). It is also possible to obtain CBD oil from a traditional cannabis plant. In this case, levels of other cannabinoids, especially tetrahydrocannabinol, are much higher.

Due to the way it is extracted, many believe that this oil tends to be more pure and natural since it is extracted directly from a stem of the plant. In addition, due to the properties of THC, it can produce much more effective therapeutic effects. These arguments are well acceptable but insufficient. To know the best plant to use, one must take into account the positive effects sought for the body and the type of malaise to be alleviated.

In general, when combining a therapeutic remedy for pain with an anti-inflammatory effect, a given limit must be respected. A combination of THC with CBD at maximum concentration of 0.2% is the most recommended option. The cannabis plant is used for this purpose. If you are looking to relieve chemotherapy discomfort, CBD Cannabis Sativa oil is best.

What to choose between CBD oils isolated or extracted from plants?

Currently, the production of isolated CBD oil from other plant cannabinoids is already underway. This oil has even become more sought after than cannabis itself.

Many wonder if it is better to use isolated CBD oil, which is extracted in its pure form without involving other cannabinoids in the plant. In the case of terpenoids, when combined with CBN, THC and CBD, they offer a more effective therapeutic effect.

Therefore, the use of isolated CBD oil does not offer the best therapeutic results for each individual, as does oil extracted directly from cannabis. Indeed, the concentrations of other active components of this plant are much lower.

Cannabis sativa CBD oil: A better option

In countries where the therapeutic use of cannabis is legal, special strains are selected and called sativa. These strains have higher levels of CBD than THC. This makes it possible to offer the right combination for pain management without changing behaviour or perception.

It is also true that the use of Cannabis Sativa CBD oil is a more practical option in countries where cannabis use is illegal. In this sense, the use of pure CBD oil is not prohibited by law, but oils that combine THC and other components of cannabis are.

In summary, the choice of type of CBD oil depends on the therapeutic effects sought by the person using it.

Final words - Big effects A little safety reminder

Materials containing oil are not known to be the lungs’ best friends. Taking CBD oil by vaporisation should be avoided. Also, do not neglect the fact that the oil only takes effect once digested by the stomach. It will therefore have a more important role because the more it is filled, the longer it will take to take effect. The less it is filled, the faster it will go.
