CBD Oil Frequently Asked Questions
CBD oil frequently asked questions, information, facts and the best buying tips
CBD oil is best known for its soothing effect. It is an abbreviation of cannabidiol, which is considered an all-natural product. I started Hempishop in 2012 from a personal quest for a healthy and sustainable lifestyle and my fascination for hemp and everything that the plant can mean for the world. I sell in my webshop CBD oil and sustainable (hemp) products. The active substances in CBD oil are extracted from the leaves and flower tops of the hemp plant by means of extraction. The active ingredient is then dissolved in vegetable oil, creating CBD oil. By now you hear quite a few people about the use of CBD oil. The demand for CBD is growing and the supply is increasing. More and more people use CBD oil and logically have questions about it. How do you assess the price-quality ratio of a CBD product? Which product is right for you? How do you use CBD oil? Please take the time to inform yourself. I answer all frequently asked questions about CBD oil and give you the best buying tips! Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about cannabidiol (CBD). Do you also have a question that you can't find in this list? Let me know, we may add it!
What is CBD oil
CBD stands for cannabidiol and is one of the many cannabinoids extracted from the cannabis plant. The active substances in the cannabis plant mainly come from the leaves and the flower buds. An extraction is made from this, in which the CBD extract is then mixed with a carrier oil, in most cases it is based on hemp seed oil of olive oil. This is called CBD oil.
What does CBD oil do?
The body's own cannabinoids are also known as endocannabinoids. All mammals make endocannabinoids. These substances fulfill their role within the endocannabinoid system. This system regulates hormone production, directs the immune system, regulates the activity of organs and influences protein synthesis. The body's own endocannabinoids are almost identical to plant cannabinoids. CBD from hemp is therefore very easily absorbed by your body and fits on the same receptors.
CBD oil effect: How does CBD oil work?
First, it is useful to know how and why CBD works. The oil can be described as soothing. The oil is usually taken by dripping the oil under the tongue. The active ingredient in the oil is then absorbed through the oral mucosa. The effect of this substance differs per person and the severity of the complaints. It is therefore strongly recommended to gradually build up the dose. In addition, the oils can differ in strength, this is expressed in percentages.
Do not confuse CBD oil with THC, the substance that gets you high or stoned. The amount of THC in CBD oil is negligible. It is important to distinguish these substances as THC can lead to psychoactive effects. Due to the low percentage of THC, CBD oil is legal. This is in contrast to various cannabis oils that do contain THC.
What is CBD oil good for?
CBD oil is good for reducing various mental and physical complaints. For example, the oil helps to reduce stress, sleeping problems and pain. The oil consists of cannabinoids that also occur naturally in our body. The cannabidiol in the oil is able to restore disturbances, returning the balance to the body. This can provide proper support to the body. When asked 'what do you use CBD oil for?' is not one specific answer. Everyone has different goals and uses CBD for different complaints.
Is CBD oil healthy?
Since cannabidiol consists of cannabinoids that also occur naturally in our body, you can certainly call CBD healthy. Cannabidiol is able to repair disturbances in our endocannabinoid system, returning our body to homeostasis. The balance returns and the body receives the right support, which makes us feel good.
CBD oil sleep: does CBD oil promote sleep?
When used correctly, the oil can have a very positive effect on sleep. Not infrequently, people can reduce their sleep medication and get a good night's sleep, completely on cannabidiol.
How fast does CBD oil work?
The oil comes with a pipette with which you can drip the oil under the tongue as well as in food. However, dripping under the tongue has a faster effect than processing the oil in food or a capsules. This is because it is absorbed under the tongue by the oral mucosa. In food, the oil is absorbed by the intestines and stomach.
Which CBD oil is the best?
The quality of the CBD oil naturally starts with the hemp. The plant grows quickly by nature and has its own defense system against pests. This makes hemp an ideal crop for organic cultivation. I think you get the best tomatoes if you grow them organically. And I believe that you get the best CBD if you grow the hemp plant as naturally as possible.
To answer the question of what is the best CBD oil, start with the question which percentage is most suitable for you. There is no ready-made answer. It all depends on things like your aim, posture, sensitivity. In short, you have to discover what works for you. How do you do that? Start with an average percentage of for example 5%. Experiment with the number of drops and the distribution of the doses over the day. In doing so, you will find out what works well for you. The general recommended starting dose is 1 to 3 drops 1 to 2 times a day.
What is the most commonly used percentage of Cannabidiol?
The most distinguishing feature of any CBD product is the percentage of active ingredient. The packaging states what percentage of CBD the product consists of. Most common are 2,5% and 5%. CBD oil of 2,5% often serves as an entertaining dietary supplement. Percentages of 5% and higher are used more purposefully.
What is the best CBD oil?
In addition to the percentage, the extraction method is also important to look at. There are three methods to extract the CBD from the hemp: oil extraction, CO2 Extraction and Alcohol Extraction. If done carefully, you can get a good product with any extraction method. There is a slight preference for the CO2 extraction, because this extraction method best preserves the nutrients and cannabinoids. Alcohol extraction has the most drawbacks. Not all nutrients and cannabinoids dissolve well in alcohol, resulting in a less rich product.
What kind of CBD oil to use?
In oil extraction, the hemp is in hemp seed oil dipped (sometimes there is olive oil used). Heating ensures that CBDa (the acid/acidic form of CBD) is converted into CBD and included in the hemp seed oil. After seven, you are left with a rich CBD oil with the soft taste of hemp seed oil. In this process it is more difficult to get the CBD oil to a certain percentage. Oil extraction is therefore a somewhat more difficult and lengthy process, which means that the price is also somewhat higher. Due to the heating, the other nutrients and cannabinoids are less well preserved in this process.
In CO2 extraction, the plant material is put under high pressure with carbon dioxide. This is how CBD and the other cannabinoids are released. This is an efficient method that produces a rich CBD oil with a slightly sharper taste. This is sometimes also called full spectrum CBD oil, because all nutrients and other cannabinoids are well preserved because there is no heating involved in the extraction process. CBD is the best-known cannabinoid, in addition, more and more is known about the influence of the other cannabinoids such as CBDa, CBG, CBGa, CBC, CBN and CBNa.

Which brand is the best CBD oil?
Before I opened this web store, I had been using CBD in the form of tea for a while. I researched the producers and came up with the Danish Endoca and the Austrian MediHemp. Both companies keep the entire production in-house. They grow the hemp, extract the CBD and make the end products. They are family businesses with a lot of experience and an excellent reputation where you can rely on the best organic quality.
