Getting Started with CBD: The Basics for First Time Users

This article is for those new to CBD and only provides a really brief overview of the topic.

Cannabidiol, commonly known as CBD, is quickly gaining popularity among various health products. This substance, obtained primarily from industrial hemp, is known for its health benefits, which we will describe in the following overview.

Source and production of CBD

CBD is one of more than 540 chemical compounds found in the hemp plant (cannabis sativa), where it is found along with THC, known for its psychoactive properties. Unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive, meaning it does not affect our perception or mood. This substance is obtained mainly from hemp varieties that contain a minimal amount of THC.

Potential benefits of CBD

The use of CBD is recommended in many situations due to its positive effects on the body and mind:

• Pain relief, including migraine
• Support of sleep quality and reduction of anxiety and stress
• Anti-inflammatory effects that can help treat acne
• Alleviation of symptoms associated with cancer and treatment
• Support for epileptic seizures

Interestingly, the use of CBD also seems to be well received by pets, especially dogs. Despite the fact that scientific studies have not yet confirmed the positive effects of CBD oil veterinary on the health of dogs, many owners give positive reviews. In their experience, regular administration of CBD oil helps relieve pain or seizures in their pets. The dosage of CBD should be adapted to the weight of the animal. As a starting point, it is recommended to use a formula of 0.5 mg of CBD per kilogram of animal weight, which is one standard dose per day. This dose should be applied two to three times a day.

Online shopping

Due to the currently low number of specialized brick-and-mortar stores, you can comfortably buy products online. When choosing, look at the quality, certificate and composition of the products, and avoid those that contain harmful ingredients or do not meet the established standards. We recommend calling the e-shop, informing and consulting, and then you will get a picture of how the merchant is doing. It takes a bit of time or having a lucky hand with the selection :)
