People seemed to really enjoy the first 10 fun facts we shared, so we figured we would offer 1o more fun facts about CBD oil that we hope you find just as interesting. We’ve been rounding up these facts about CBD oil in order to help people better understand just what it is, what we know about it, what it does, and what we think it might do.

Having said this, we also want to point out (as some of you mentioned in your comments), there is still a lot of work and research to be done to fully understand CBD. We fully support this sentiment and yet we are also excited about the research that is currently being done and the advancements we are making to better understand CBD.

In the meantime, we hope you find something interesting below that helps you personally better understand some of the values of CBD oil.

Hemp plants and cannabis plants for medical use are the two best sources for CBD.

CBD, like THC, is a cannabinoid, and its amount varies from plant to plant. Cannabis plants meant for recreational use tend to have more THC than CBD. Alternatively, industrial hemp plants and cannabis plants intended for medical use are both very low in THC, but high in CBD.

The first recorded medicinal use of hemp occurred around 2700 B.C.

Hemp, along with its seeds and oils, has been used for more than 10,000 years for various purposes. As one of the first plants to be domesticated, hemp was used to make clothing, rope, paper, and shoes, while its seeds and oils were used as food and medicines.

Even Queen Victoria used CBD.

In the 19th century, Queen Victoria of England used CBD-rich cannabis to alleviate menstrual cramps.

In the UK, CBD oil is classified as a medicine.

CBD oil has been available in the UK as a “nutritional supplement” for quite awhile, but recently it has been reclassified as a “medicine.” This means that the British government has begun to formally recognize CBD’s many health benefits, a significant fact considering recreational cannabis is still illegal. It also means that CBD will likely be put through the same rigorous tests and trials as other medicines.

CBD blocks the addictive effect of other drugs.

In a 2013 study done on rats, scientists found that CBD can successfully block the addictive effects of highly addictive painkillers such as morphine. Specifically, CBD reduced the pleasure of morphine, making it seem like less of a reward.

Thus, CBD could be a promising solution to the Opioid Crisis

Recent research published by “Substance Abuse: Research and Treatment” reported that states that have implemented medical marijuana programs have already seen a 25% drop in deaths by opioid overdose. Furthermore, pain patients using medical cannabis (which by nature is high in CBD) used 64% fewer opioid painkillers than those for whom a medical marijuana program was not available.

A strain of medical cannabis called Charlotte’s Web is leading the charge when it comes to medical marijuana laws.

Two brothers in Colorado began growing a particular strain of cannabis that is high in CBD, but low in THC. The strain was named Charlotte’s Web after a 5-year old girl, Charlotte Figi, began using it to help control her Dravet Syndrome, an illness that causes frequent and uncontrollable seizures. The success of Charlotte’s Web on Charlotte and other children with Dravet Sydnrome has helped to bring about and change a number of laws regarding medical marijuana.

CBD oil can help treat epilepsy.

As you read this, several states are working hard to make CBD oil available to children and adults suffering from epilepsy, a neurological disorder that causes convulsions and/or loss of consciousness. This is due to CBD’s anticonvulsant properties, which are being tested for use against neurodegenerative disorders, inflammation, and even cancer.

CBD can sedate or energize.

In doses larger than a few hundred milligrams, CBD oil can be used as a sedative to help insomniacs and others who have trouble sleeping. In lower doses, CBD oil can cause alertness.

If you’re nervous about speaking, try CBD oil.

A 2011 study published in “Neuropsychopharmacology” found that a single dose of CBD was enough to reduce anxiety, cognitive impairment, and overall discomfort in patients with Social Anxiety Disorder as they prepared to speak publicly.

If you keep up with what’s new in medicine, you’ve likely heard about the excitement surrounding cannabidiol, known also as CBD. This highly popular oil is produced from cannabis plants, but unlike other cannabis products such as THC, is non-psychoactive and doesn’t cause any of the same side effects. So far, scientists have only begun to scratch the surface of all that CBD might be able to do for our health, but what we do know is that CBD is proving promising for dozens of ailments ranging from seizures to tumors.

If you’re just beginning to learn about CBD oil, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve rounded up 10 fun facts about CBD oil in order to summarize just what it is, what we know about it, what it does and what we think it might do.

Cannabidiol is just one of more than 85 ingredients in cannabis plants.

Most people know that CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of the ingredients in cannabis, but some mistake that fact to mean that CBD is always associated with cannabis as a recreational drug. In fact, cannabidiol is one of more than 85 ingredients of cannabis that have varying effects on the human mind and body.

CBD oil is one of the two most prevalent ingredients in cannabis plants.

CBD, along with THC, is one of the two main ingredients in both hemp and cannabis plants. CBD is found throughout the seeds, stalk, and flowers of the plant, and is therefore easily extracted.

CBD oil works naturally with the body.

Cannabidiol, along with a number of other chemicals found in cannabis plants, work naturally with a mammal’s cannabinoid receptor sites, which make up the endocannabinoid system (ECS) and which are found primarily in the brain and central nervous system.

The list of things CBD could potentially benefit is a long one.

The body’s endocannabinoid system is a massive network of cell receptor proteins that deal with just about anything the body is or does, including mood, memory, motor control, immune function, reproduction, pain perception, appetite, sleep, and bone development, to name but a few. Because CBD oil works naturally with the ECS, the list of things CBD could potentially benefit is huge.

CBD might react with other systems in the body as well.

Though research on this topic is still underway, scientists know that cannabinoid receptors aren’t the only receptors with which CBD can engage. So far, scientists know that CBD will engage either directly or indirectly with vanilloid receptors, adenosine receptors, and serotonin receptors, which could mean even greater effects on things like pain management, sleep-wake cycles, and mood and stress management, respectively.

CBD interacts with, but does not bind to, CB1 receptors.

The health benefits and other effects of CBD are able to occur because CBD interacts with the CB1 receptor (found on neurons and glial cells in the brain) and the CB2 receptor (found in the immune system). Unlike THC, CBD does not actually bind to these receptors, which leads us to our next fact:

CBD won’t make you high.

CBD, along with THC, is a main component of the cannabis variant marijuana, but it’s THC that gives marijuana users their high. CBD is non-psychoactive in nature, and therefore cannot make you high.

In fact, CBD can negate the effects of THC.

While THC has been known to cause anxiety, paranoia, and increased levels of stress along with a high, CBD actually brings about the opposite. For this reason, CBD is being used more and more to treat anxiety and depression.

It is impossible to overdose on CBD.

CBD is non-toxic, so it is not possible to overdose while taking it.

You can take CBD any number of ways.

There are many different ways to consume CBD. Once extracted from the plant, CBD oil can be used as a topical that is absorbed through the skin, taken orally through drops, cooked into food or other edibles, or vaporized for smoking.

There are many different types of CBD products and because the industry is constantly expanding, more types of products are created all the time. Because of the different types of endocannabinoid receptors in the body, there are different methods of delivery that work. In this article, we’re going to discuss what the different types are and why you may want to use (or avoid) certain ones.

Exploring Various Types of CBD Oil Delivery

Cannabidiol oil, also called CBD, is a health product that has been seeing a lot more use in the past few months. It is one of the compounds known as cannabinoids that are found in the cannabis plant. It interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system to help us to absorb our naturally occurring cannabinoids more easily. This can help with a variety of health issues and it promotes general wellness by keeping our bodies in balance.

There are a broad range of CBD products, and each one can help with different things or may work better for certain people. You can explore many of the different types below.

CBD Topicals

Topicals come in the form of balms, creams, salves, lotion, and a variety of other health and beauty products like shampoo and conditioner, or even deodorant. This type of CBD doesn’t go into the bloodstream; instead, they interact with the skin and the CB2 receptors of your endocannabinoid system. They are designed to be applied directly to the affected area, or whatever area you want to take care of.

These types of products are most commonly used for acute injuries or inflammation. You can apply a CBD cream or pain relief gel directly to where you’re feeling sore and it will penetrate into the skin and help to relieve that pain. Some creams are made with camphor, menthol, or capsaicin to bolster their effects.

Other topical CBD products are for general skin health. You can get lip balms, a soothing cream for sunburn, a shampoo for dry and damaged hair, and more. These products are designed to help moisturize and protect your skin.

Tinctures or Oils

Tinctures or CBD Oils were the pioneering delivery method for this supplement. They are still the most commonly used and widely available products on the market today. This liquid form can be ingested by itself, or mixed with food or drink. Many people also put it under their tongue because when used sublingually, CBD can have better bioavailability.

This is a great introductory product because ingesting CBD oil can help with a variety of health issues and comes in very low to very high concentrations based on your needs and level of experience with CBD. It also tends to be the most affordable option. A lot of people turn to tinctures for a range of problems from chronic pain to insomnia. It has also been found to be effective for weight loss, or just promoting general wellness.

One of the perks of this type of CBD oil is that it comes in multiple flavors ranging from fruity flavors to things like mint. However, there are some drawbacks with this method of taking CBD, though. Some people may not like the flavors offered and using the dropper can make it difficult to ensure that you are getting a precise dose.

CBD Isolate

CBD Isolate comes in a few forms like crystals, powders, and wax. It tends to be the most expensive method of purchasing CBD but it is also the purest form that you can purchase.

This method offers the most precise dosage because you can measure it right down to the milligram; however, this is a product that we typically recommend for more experienced users. The crystals and wax can both be vaporized, almost like smoking. The crystals can also be consumed like hard candies if you so choose.

The isolate is a very versatile product because it can be added to foods or beverages, and can also be used in cooking. You can also use the isolate to create your own skin care products, bath bombs, and so much more. The versatility is what draws most customers to this type of CBD.

CBD Oil Edibles

Because of the various types of CBD that exists, you can do a lot with it in the kitchen. Of course, if you’re not interested in doing so, that’s okay! Plenty of brands have gone ahead and taken care of it for you by making edible CBD products. You can get CBD snacks like hot cheese snacks, chips, and more. You can also get it in the more common form, gummy candies. There is also mints, chewing gum, and a variety of different types of beverage.

As far as beverages go, your options are equally diverse. There are different coffees and teas that are formulated with CBD, there are syrups that you can add to other drinks, shots, protein powder, and even water! Drinks make it easy to get your CBD if you’re not big on snacks. Gum and mints are another way to make sure you’re getting your daily dose, and they act fast because of the mucosal membranes in your mouth. They allow for faster absorption than digestion alone.

If you want to ingest your CBD but you don’t want to worry about measuring out an oil or you just don’t like the taste, this way gives you a lot of options. CBD edibles are great because they are easy to take with you on the go, most come in resealable packaging, and they offer extremely precise dosing.

CBD Oil Capsules

CBD capsules were the first type of CBD pill to hit the market but brands have expanded to include easier-to-swallow softgels, and just regular pills. One of the biggest advantages of this method is that the dosing is as precise as it can possibly be. Because these pills are made from isolates, there is no room for anything to even be slightly off. Some people feel more comfortable with such a precise dosing method.

The fact that the doses are pre measured also makes it easier. You can pop these in with your other daily supplements or medications to make sure that you don’t forget. This could be good for older patients, too.

Pills also allow for pretty fast delivery because they are so small and easily digestible. This might be a good option to explore if you don’t like the taste of any edibles or oils. The only drawback is that some companies may put additives in their capsules. You’ll have to do your research to be sure. We love the ones offered by CBDmd.

CBD Oil Patches

CBD oil patches are another topical method, but with the patch, the cannabinoids would be able to penetrate into the bloodstream.

A patch is a medicated adhesive that is placed on the skin to deliver a specific dose of medication – through the skin and into the bloodstream, promoting healing to an injured area of the body.

An advantage of transdermal drug delivery over other delivery systems like oral, intravenous, intramuscular, etc. is that a patch provides a controlled release of the drug. It’s done through a porous membrane or through body heat that melts medication formulations embedded in the adhesive and allows it to be absorbed.

This is a good type of CBD oil delivery to address pain and inflammation.

Regardless of the delivery method, the benefits of all types of CBD oil on the body are incredible. You can research more about what method may be best for you to help you select your ideal method and product.
