How Can I Use CBD?
There are quite a few options for using CBD — you can even cook with it! All these options can make choosing a CBD product a little overwhelming. We’ve broken down some of the most common ways to use CBD below so you can make an educated decision on which method works best for your lifestyle and preferences. And, so long as you follow airline regulations, you can take most of them with you when you travel!
Edibles
Quite a few different kinds of products fall under the category of “edibles.” The most popular is CBD gummies — much like the popular gummy vitamins! Energy chews, gum, protein powder, and infused water all fall under the category of edible.
If you want to enjoy a tasty snack while you get your CBD, an edible option might be perfect for you. As with any supplement, it’s important that you take your CBD edibles safely — make sure you follow edible safe practices!
Capsules
CBD capsules are a no-fuss solution to your daily CBD. Some capsules are even dissolvable if swallowing pills isn’t an option for you. Just grab one along with the rest of your daily vitamins and a sip of water, and you’re good to go.
Capsules are great if you’re sensitive to tastes or textures or you’re looking for the easiest way to take CBD.
Oils & Tinctures
CBD oil is one of the most versatile options for CBD. Typically, tinctures are dropped under the tongue — which helps it absorb more quickly — and then swallowed. They come in a wide variety of flavors from cinnamon to fruits or even unflavored if you’re going for an all-natural experience.
You also have the option of blending your CBD oil with a carrier oil such as coconut, olive, or jojoba and then applying the oil mixture directly to your skin.
If you’d like different options for your CBD application or are interested in the additional benefits often included in the carrier oils, oils and tinctures are a great choice for you.
Topicals
Topical CBD comes in many different forms, including lotions, salves, creams, massage oils, transdermal patches, sprays, and even bath bombs — and more! These products usually have pleasant, calming scents and can be very therapeutic to apply in addition to the benefits from the CBD.
Topical CBD is wonderful for quick relief of localized, day-to-day aches and pains.
Pets
If you want to give your pet CBD, there are a variety of options as well! CBD can come in sprays and oils to be put on their food or directly into their mouths in tasty (to them!) flavors like bacon and tuna. Tasty CBD-infused treats are also available. Pets can also benefit from topical CBD balms for skin problems or gel that can be applied in the ear for quick absorption into their veins.
