Ways to Consume CBD Products for Medicinal Purposes
Smoking is perhaps the most well-known way of consuming cannabis-based products, even in the recreational world. However, there are other healthier and more beneficial ways of consuming cannabis-based products for medicinal purposes. Discover these methods and their benefits now!
- 1 – Oils
Cannabis-based oils are used for medicinal purposes using the sublingual method, i.e., placing a few drops under the tongue and waiting approximately one minute before swallowing. Unlike edibles, the oil is absorbed immediately by the body. The advantages of taking the oil are absolute control over the doses of CBD and THC taken, and rapid relief from symptoms, as its effect is practically immediate. It can take up to 30 minutes for the body to feel the effects.
- 2 – Capsules
Capsules are tablets that contain concentrated oils from the plant. They are for oral consumption, according to the instructions of the doctor or manufacturer. As with oils, a great advantage of taking capsules is the control of the doses taken, as these products are sold with the correct specifications of the quantities of CBD and THC.
- 3 – Topics
Topicals are products made from the Cannabis plant and are available on the market in the form of creams, ointments, gels and transdermal patches. They are applied directly to the skin and act directly on inflammation and localized pain. They are indicated for treating minor injuries, bruises and localized pain. Since they are for external use, there are no contraindications.
- 4 – Vaporization
Vaporization is the process of heating hemp flowers and inhaling the vapor produced without combustion. This method minimizes the taste and smell of the plant. In addition, it allows better control of the amount used. To start using it, it is recommended to inhale one inhalation and wait 5 to 15 minutes before inhaling the next inhalation. Vaporizing oils for medicinal purposes is not advisable.
- 5 – Suppositories
This method is very useful for people who suffer from mouth and throat problems. It is especially indicated for the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the colon, chronic prostate problems and problems in the pelvic region, as it acts directly on the source of pain and inflammation.
- 6 – Edibles
All foods that contain extracts from the Cannabis plant. From a medicinal point of view, special care must be taken when consuming these foods, as it is not possible to determine exactly the amounts of CBD and THC contained in the foods. In addition, the foods take longer to take effect, so their dosage should be reduced. It can take up to 2 hours to feel their effect. On the other hand, their effect on the body is longer lasting and more potent, so this method can be more effective in cases of chronic pain, nausea and lack of appetite. It is recommended to take a reduced dose and wait 2 hours until the next dose.
