Honey Heaven's Comprehensive Guide

how to take CBD oil

In recent years, CBD (cannabidiol) has taken the health and wellness world by storm, with an ever-growing number of people discovering its potential benefits. CBD is a natural compound derived from cannabis plants, which does not produce the psychoactive effects associated with THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).

If you're new to the world of CBD, you might be wondering how to incorporate this wellness superstar into your daily routine. Fear not, as we've got you covered with this comprehensive guide on how to take CBD oil, featuring popular products like CBD gummies, CBD muscle balm, and more!

How Different Consumption Methods Affect the Body

Consuming CBD orally, whether in the form of CBD oil or edibles, involves passing through the digestive system. When ingested, CBD is broken down in the stomach and metabolised by the liver before entering the bloodstream. This process is known as the "first-pass effect" and may reduce the bioavailability of CBD, meaning not all the CBD ingested reaches the bloodstream.

Consequently, it may take longer to feel the effects compared to other consumption methods. However, this route allows CBD to interact with the endocannabinoid receptors in the digestive tract, which may have potential benefits for gut health and overall digestive function.

Sublingual administration involves placing CBD oil or tincture under the tongue, allowing it to be absorbed through the sublingual glands directly into the bloodstream. By bypassing the digestive system and the liver's first-pass effect, sublingual administration offers faster and more efficient absorption, leading to more immediate effects.

This method is ideal for those seeking rapid relief from symptoms such as anxiety or pain. However, CBD taken sublingually may not interact as directly with the digestive tract, making it less suitable for addressing gastrointestinal issues.

Applying CBD topicals, such as creams, lotions, and balms, directly to the skin provides localised effects. CBD topicals do not enter the bloodstream but interact with the endocannabinoid receptors in the skin.

This makes them effective for providing relief to specific areas of discomfort, such as sore muscles or joints. While they may not affect the digestive system, CBD topicals are highly favoured for addressing localised issues without impacting the rest of the body.

The Honey Heaven CBD Starter Kit is the perfect way to introduce high quality CBD products into your life. If you are wondering how to take CBD oil, experience our honey, balm and gummies, all together in one great-value pack.

These bite-sized treats come in various shapes and flavours, making them an enjoyable way to consume CBD. The process is simple — just chew and swallow!

CBD Muscle Balm: Topical Relief for Aching Muscles

CBD Muscle High Strength Balm and Extra Strength Balm is a topical product designed to provide targeted relief to sore muscles and joints. Made by combining CBD with other natural ingredients like French Lavender and Eucalyptus and Peppermint, CBD muscle balm is applied directly to the affected area for localised relief. Simply massage a small amount of balm into the skin and let the CBD and other soothing ingredients work their magic.

Tongue and Hold: The Sublingual Method

Taking CBD oil sublingually, also known as the "tongue and hold" method, involves placing a few drops of CBD oil under the tongue and holding it there for 30-60 seconds before swallowing. This method allows the CBD to be absorbed through the mucous membranes under the tongue and directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive tract.

CBD Massage Oil: Targeted Relief for Skin and Joints

CBD massage oil come in various forms, including Botanical Blend, like French Lavender and Eucalyptus and Peppermint, all designed to be applied directly to the skin.

These CBD topicals are excellent for targeting specific areas of discomfort or to relieve stress and anxiety. CBD massage oils offer the benefit of providing relief precisely where it's needed without affecting the rest of the body. Simply apply to the affected area and gently massage it in for best results.
