What CBD Can Treat

CBD is known for being one of the most therapeutic cannabinoids found within the cannabis plant. On a broader scale, CBD can treat a wide variety of physical, mental, and even emotional ailments. It should be noted that no matter what type of ailment you are looking to treat, to always consult a physician prior to starting a CBD regimen.

Physical ailments would include everything from general body aches and pain to arthritis and even cancer. CBD has been known to calm epileptic seizures and can treat anxiety, depression, and PTSD. More studies are being done to broaden the range of which CBD can help to treat those suffering from these types of symptoms.

It should also be noted that CBD is not a cure-all. CBD works best in a broad-spectrum form and is best combined with other modalities to treat certain types of ailments. It will open the path to healing in a natural way without relying on pharmaceuticals which could cause further damage within the body and can even kill you if you take too much.

 

CBD Dosing Based on Ailment

When it comes to dosing CBD with gummies, less is more. This is because the gummies themselves are small and can be dosed much more easily. If you have pain that is either local or systemic, you can safely take CBD gummies and get results. Always start with the lowest dose possible and work your way up until you achieve the relief that you need.

Because gummies are edible, they will take considerably longer for the body to absorb and assimilate. Unlike vaping, eating a CBD gummy will not hit you quickly but will likely hit you much more strongly. This is because it takes the body longer to digest an edible, making CBD and other cannabinoids linger within the body.

For issues relating to anxiety and depression, CBD can be taken in small doses until a sense of wellbeing is experienced. Like dosing for pain, always start at the lowest possible dose and work your way up. With gummies, this can easily be done by taking just half or less and waiting a couple of hours before deciding to take more.

Caution On Taking Too Much CBD

Because gummies are so small and unlike other edibles, taking too much is rather easy to do if you are not careful. The good news is that CBD is relatively benign compared to THC. Furthermore, CBD and THC are much safer compared to prescription pharmaceuticals which can end up leaving you worse for the wear.

The side effects of taking too much CBD include dry mouth, diarrhea, fatigue, and drowsiness. Compared to other meds on the market, these are not as common or as dangerous. Either way, you will want to proceed with caution since the experience of taking too much can be less than pleasurable.

Taking CBD on an empty stomach or with a fatty meal can hasten the absorption rate of CBD and allow for it to kick in much quicker. Because CBD is fat soluble, this can be a good thing if you are looking to dose for pain or other debilitating issues such as epilepsy. The best way to avoid taking too much CBD is to look at the dosing recommendations on the label and start out with the smallest dose.

 

Different Types of Gummy Doses

When it comes to dosing CBD, you will want to know how many gummies you can take to get the right dose. Unfortunately, this may mean that you must take more than one just to get the results that you want. Certain brands and vendors sell their CBD gummies with small or inferior doses that require one to take a lot just to get a legitimate dose, if any.

Because CBD is so expensive, this can be impractical as a long-term treatment. Fortunately, there are several well-known and reputable brands that will not scalp your wallet or provide you with an inferior product. Depending on the type of gummy product you have, they may come in big or small sizes. Always compare the label and the size of the gummy and dose per gummy.

This will provide you with the best product when deciding what to get. If possible, try to go for a gummy product that has third-party verification in place. This ensures that the product you are spending your money on is an efficient and reliable one. Some gummies you might take label the entire dosage of CBD on the bottle. Always check the nutrition facts to see just how much CBD you are getting per dose.

Final Thoughts

CBD is a reliable and an efficient way to combat the debilitating effects of physical and mental distress. Natural medicines such as these should be much more widely available and accepted as viable solutions to common ailments that plague mankind. Unfortunately, we are left to choose our products from a select market that is saturated with bad products.

This is due to under regulation. Always ask around and see what products are worth it, and which ones to avoid. There is an entire medical community dedicated to the wonders of CBD and the cannabis plant in general. When it comes to dosing the right amount of CBD in gummy form, always read the label and do not be fooled by how much CBD they list on the front as a total.

Used correctly, CBD will provide you with natural pain relief that is safe and effective. The worst part about it, again, is the price. The best way to get around this is to ask yourself how much your health is worth and if you are willing to put a price tag on that.
