THE WHAT-WHEN-HOW of CBD

This content is for informational and educational purposes only. We

recommend all of our patients receive a biofeedback scan to know the

proper strain and dosage for your body and disease state. At Handy

Wellness we only use CBD from one local formulator. All CBD and

Tinctures are custom formulated, and hand delivered to make sure the

highest quality of product is given to our patients.

Maybe by now you’re convinced that CBD oil can be a transforming

approach to natural medicine. Every day, more and more research is

conducted on the potential of CBD.

But if you’re like so many others, you’re a bit confused about the

appropriate CBD oil dosage. You may not be comfortable deciding

how and when to take CBD oil either. While there’s no one answer for

these questions, as everyone is different, there are some parameters

to consider.

How to Take CBD Oil? First, Know Your Goals

Here’s the first thing you need to know before using CBD oil — what’s

your goal?

At Handy Wellness through a Quantum Biofeedback assessment we

can help you determine:

1. The exact reason why you should be using CBD Example: sleep, inflammation, pain, boosting your immune system, anxiety, all of the above

2. The right dosage—Everyone reacts differently based on their endocannabinoid system

3. The right delivery method

A Quantum Biofeedback assessment can work as your baseline in

determining the How, When, and What CBD oil to take. It can also

assess if the endocannabinoid system is imbalanced.

Endocannabinoid receptors exist throughout the entire body, including

your brain, nervous system and digestive system. CBD oil works by

activating these receptor sites.

The problem is that many people may have an imbalanced

endocannabinoid system, which can lead to undesirable effects. This

is where CBD may come in — it can work to add balance to the

endocannabinoid system. By balancing the endocannabinoid system,

the body can return to its balanced state, or homeostasis.

Generally speaking, for most people, it takes about 30 minutes to feel

the effects of CBD oil after ingesting it or applying it topically, but this

may alter depending on the product’s concentration and potency —

and the person using it, of course.

The method used to take CBD will also alter the amount of time it

takes to feel the effects. The amount of oil you use depends on a few

factors that are described below.

CBD Oil Dosage

There is no official serving size for CBD, so figuring out the best

dosage for your desired effects depends on a few factors. The first

thing to know is that everyone reacts differently to external

cannabinoids like CBD. Although many products recommend the best

CBD oil dosage based on your bodyweight, this doesn’t necessarily

work for everyone. Quantum Biofeedback takes the guess work out of

determining dosage and frequency through a one to one analysis

done through a biofeedback test.

The time of day you take CBD will also impact its effects. A good rule

of thumb is to take CBD about one hour before you want to get the

effects. For example, for those seeking calmness before going to bed,

a person could take a CBD dose about one hour before bedtime. And

keep in mind that, in general, the effects of a lower dose can last

about three hours, while a higher dose can last about six hours.

CBD Oil Dosage Guidelines

• • There is no official serving size for CBD — Everyone reacts differently to cannabinoids, so you need to determine what dose works best for you.

• • Less is more — Taking more CBD than you need may actually be less effective. This is why starting with a lower dose and working your way up slowly can be beneficial.

• • Use it daily — To fully experience the positive effects of CBD, it’s best to use it consistently. You can take one standard dose 1–3 times daily

• • Determine the dosage for you- All dosage can be determined during your Biofeedback Assessment as described above

Absorption

No matter what type of CBD product you decide to use, pure CBD oil,

overall, has the same absorption factor. However, the potency and

concentration of your CBD oil product will alter its effect.

Choose products that are made with pure CBD oil and allow you to

take control of the exact dosage. Plus, full spectrum products have

sometimes been shown to have complementary effects because CBD

combines with other cannabinoids that are found naturally in hemp.

One way to maximize the absorption of oral CBD products from

tinctures is to take the oil by mouth.

Ways to Take CBD Oil

As the CBD oil market continues to grow, you have more and more

product options. There are a number of ways to take CBD oil, so you

can choose the method that works best for you and your goals.

Some of the most popular ways to take CBD oil include:

• Tinctures: Tinctures are CBD oils that come with a dropper. This is one of the easiest ways to take CBD because you are in control of the exact serving. Typically, one dropper is a serving, so make sure to read the label carefully to determine your CBD dosage.

• Capsules: This is another easy way to take CBD orally. You’ll find capsules available in several doses.

• Topical solutions: CBD lotions, balms and salves can be used topically, as desired and for specific areas of the body.

• Powders: Powders are another form of oral CBD. They can be added to your smoothies or just combined with liquid.

• Edibles: Another popular type of CBD is edibles, which are preferred by people who enjoy the ease and pleasant taste.

At Handy Wellness we only use CBD from one local formulator. All

CBD and Tinctures are custom formulated, and hand delivered to

make sure the highest quality of product is given to our patients. We

do the work for you so you.

Final Thoughts

• If there’s one major takeaway from this information, it’s that finding the appropriate CBD oil dosage depends on a few factors but is primarily based on how the person responds to CBD.

• Everybody is different, which is why it’s best to start with a lower dose and determine whether or not that dose meets your goals.

• If there’s no perceived effects after three days of use, you can increase the dosage by 10 milligrams until you find what amount works best (in conjunction with your healthcare professional, of course).
