4 NON-VAPING WAYS TO TAKE CBD

4 NON-VAPING WAYS TO TAKE CBD

There are many methods of taking cannabinoids apart from Vaping, and they have advantages, working differently. CBD can be taken as capsules or topicals, using nanotechnology and sublingually.

Ever since CBD was made federally legal in 2018, it has gained popularity, with its users devising various consuming methods. Vaping is a way of taking CBD. Even though it is popular, it isn’t the only way of taking the beneficial compound cannabinoid. Scientists and medics are conducting clinical trials to determine the drug’s full potential and methods of taking it. The most technological way of taking CBD is through nanotechnology. This method ensures cannabinoid is taken as NanoCBD to increase Bioavailability. CBD can be taken through capsules, nanotechnology, topicals, and sublingually.

Ways Of Taking CBD

As a Topical

A CBD topical is any lotion, cream, balm, or salve that has been infused with the CBD for direct application to the skin. Topicals are easily made, and the critical step in making them is the infusion of the cannabinoid into the other product, like lotion, cream, balm, or salve. Topicals are applied on the skin’s surface, unlike others taking the CBD involving ingestion through the mouth.

How Are CBD topicals absorbed into the body?

The human skin has several layers: dermis, epidermis, and hypodermis. The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin where the CBD topical is applied and usually has scars, pores, and freckles. The dermis is the skin layer located under the dermis. It comprises dermis hair follicles, nerve endings, and blood vessels.

The ability of CBD topicals to ease different conditions in the body is because of the endocannabinoid system. This complex system is used for signaling and comprises cannabinoid receptors such as the CB2 and CB1, endocannabinoids, and enzymes. According to Greineisen & Turner (2010) endocannabinoid system regulates the body’s processes such as sleep, memory, and immune responses.

When any CBD topical is applied to any part of the body, it isn’t directly absorbed into the bloodstream. It interacts with close cannabinoid receptors; the same receptors send signals to endocannabinoids alleviating pain in a particular part of the body, as Freund et al. (2003) noted.

According to Rub (2022), this complex system ensures CBD topicals offer relief to pain and soothe and heal damaged skin parts. The study above noted that CBD is the main ingredient in all its topicals and is complemented like oil to protect and nourish the skin.

The CBD Can be taken Sublingually

What is a CBD Sublingual?

A CBD sublingual is a cannabinoid taken orally by placing it under the Tongue. The CBD oil and tincture are usually taken using this method.

Why is the CBD Sublingual taken under the Tongue?

The mouth is a vital organ of the human body. The area under the tongue is full of membranes and blood vessels. The thin mucous membranes under the tongue ensure the CBD is absorbed into the blood vessels carrying it through the blood to other body areas. It takes a little time for its absorption to occur after the CBD is absorbed into the body by the blood vessels. The CBD lands in the gastrointestinal tract when it’s swallowed, where it takes almost two hours to be absorbed into the bloodstream. The sublingual method, therefore, ensures quick absorption of the CBD product.

CBD Can be Taken in capsules

The simplest way to take the cannabinoid compound is through capsules. This method usually works for those who want to keep track of specific doses of CBD Oil they get. They can be taken as soft gel capsules or with additives. This method is convenient, but the CBD takes a while before it starts working.

CBD can be ingested into the body using the Nano Technology

What exactly is Nano CBD Oil?

The Nano CBD Oil is a type of CBD broken down into smaller particles to enable the body to absorb the CBD Oil fully. The CBD Oil is broken down using Nanotechnology. According to Oladele et al. (2020), nanotechnology increases the Bioavailability of CBD Oil and quickens its therapeutic effects.

Does the Nano CBD Oil work better than the regular CBD Oil?

The nano CBD Oil is water soluble compared to the regular CBD Oil that is only soluble in water. Nanotechnology is used to break down its molecules into particles up to 16 nanometers small (Mansoori, 2005). It ensures it is water-soluble and increases its Bioavailability up to ten times more than any other drug.

The Nano CBD Oil is potent and is quickly absorbed into the body when taken. It helps the user reap all the therapeutic benefits of CBD Oil within a short period, as Žampachová et al.(2021) stated. On the other hand, the traditional CBD Oil takes a while before the user can feel it.

How to Take Nano CBD Oil

The Nano CBD is water-soluble, unlike the traditional CBD Oil. This presents the user with numerous options for taking it since it is soluble in water. People can put the nano CBD oil in water or other drink they prefer, such as beverages, and consume it.

Benefits of the Nano CBD Oil

The Water-Soluble CBD has increased Bioavailability

 The significant benefit of the Nano CBD Oil is that it offers increased Bioavailability, as Onaivi et al. (2020) stated. The process of nanoemulsion makes the Nano CBD more bioavailable than other products of CBD Oil. This means one can take small amounts of CBD Oil to achieve tremendous and efficient results. There will be little wastage of CBD Oil thanks to nanotechnology.

Conclusion

The legalization of cannabinoids has brought about a revolution in the medicinal world. It has also improved the global economy since new industries are emerging to produce CBD products like creams, vapes, and nanoparticles of cannabinoids. Vaping is one of the many methods of taking CBD oil. The most technological way of taking CBD is through nanotechnology. This method ensures cannabinoid is taken as NanoCBD to increase Bioavailability. Apart from vaping, CBD can be taken through capsules, nanotechnology, topicals, and sublingually.
