CBD and Relaxation
What do you do to relax and unwind at the end of a long day? Whether it’s a calming bath, a workout followed by a hot shower, or even an evening glass of wine while watching your favorite show – the quest to relax, unwind and find strategies to reduce the stress of modern living is more important than ever. Yet even with all the ways to relax, and despite advances in technology and health care, we as a society are more anxious than ever.
Finding effective ways to relax and mitigate the stress of modern life can be a challenge, and a significant proportion of Americans take anti-anxiety medications. However, as we learn more about health and wellness, there has been a shift away from medical and pharmaceutical solutions to stress and anxiety, to finding healthy relaxation strategies that include a holistic approach to wellness. Holistic wellness seeks to find strategies to relax assisted by more natural solutions including those derived from plant sources like hemp.
Holistic means “taken as a whole” and in the wellness community, it refers to the idea that physical health and emotional well-being can be achieved through a combination of multiple strategies that benefit the body, mind, and overall health. Strategies for this holistic approach include exercise, nutrition, meditation, and supplements. Countless nutritional supplements exist to enhance every kind of wellness strategy, whether it be getting proper nutrition, vitamins, essential oils, anti-aging, weight loss, or fitness.
Some natural edibles are associated with relaxation. Melatonin has emerged as a popular choice as a natural supplement to assist with relaxation and sleep. Another natural solution people are using to relax is CBD in the form of oral products such as sublingual tinctures, gummies, candies, and more. CBD has been embraced by the wellness community as a relaxation strategy and the popular edibles can now be found everywhere.
The benefits of CBD are being studied and CBD edibles are not approved as a medical means of reducing anxiety or stress. Still, millions of people have discovered CBD and are using edibles made from it as part of their relaxation strategy. But does CBD really help you relax? Knowing about CBD is the key to understanding the potential benefits of this very popular ingredient that stands at the forefront of the wellness industry.
What is CBD and can it help you relax?
Before you consider CBD as a relaxation strategy it’s important to understand what CBD is, and what it is not. CBD is an abbreviation for Cannabidiol, and it is one specific compound found in the Cannabis or hemp plant. When the botanical oil from the hemp plant is extracted and purified to specifically include the compound Cannabidiol, it’s called CBD oil. CBD oil is then used as a base ingredient in many different kinds of wellness products, including oral products like gummies and sublingual oils. Oral CBD edibles are a preferred choice because absorption through the mouth and digestive system is an easy and convenient way to administer CBD to the whole body.
How exactly CBD assists in relaxation is an ongoing discussion and field of study. CBD is best thought of as a nutritional product whose therapeutic possibilities are intriguing, but not fully understood. Many people do use oral CBD items such as edible gummies and sublingual tinctures as a part of a wellness strategy that includes relaxation, but it’s important to understand the supplement is not a medically recognized treatment for stress, anxiety, or a medically recognized way to facilitate relaxation.
It’s also important to know that CBD oil does not contain THC, the specific compound found in some strains of the cannabis plant known to have psychoactive properties. CBD oil and products made from CBD are THC-free, and you will not experience any kind of psychoactive effect from using them. Products made from CBD oil are completely legal to buy and use in the U.S., and CBD continues to grow in popularity as a nutritional supplement, with more people every day making it part of their own wellness routine.
Sublingual CBD
Sublingual means “under the tongue” and refers to the way this popular form of how CBD is used. Sublingual use a purified CBD oil tincture that absorbs quickly and adds flavoring to produce a pleasant taste. Using a dropper, the CBD oil tincture is administered under the tongue and quickly absorbed. This route of administration is easy and effective, delivering the CBD to the bloodstream rapidly where its effects spread through the body. The oil is typically clear, light, and designed to be absorbed quickly without leaving residue or an aftertaste. Peppermint is a popular flavor for Sublingual CBD oil, but any flavor is possible.
Sublingual CBD is different from other oral CBD in that it’s not chewed or swallowed but rather absorbed without leaving the mouth. The oil is absorbed directly into the bloodstream instead of proceeding through the digestive tract, and you actually don’t swallow anything. The oil is absorbed in a few seconds and evaporates leaving no residue. The skin under your tongues is thin, rich in blood vessels, and substances administered here are easily and quickly absorbed. Taking CBD oil sublingually is the quickest way to administer CBD into your body. Many people prefer sublingual not just because of how fast it absorbs, but also because they don’t have to swallow anything.
CBD Gummies
CBD Gummies are another popular and convenient CBD edible that people use for relaxation. CBD Gummies are flavored gelatin chewables made from the same base substance gummy candies are made of – but infused with CBD oil and other ingredients. Gelatin-based gummies are taken into the mouth, chewed, and swallowed, allowing the digestive system to absorb the ingredients and transport them throughout the body.
CBD Gummies are sweet and pleasantly flavored, and like gummy candies, meant to be chewed. Like Sublingual CBD, gummies use the oral administration route. They are chewed and swallowed like any food or candy, making them quick, convenient, and portable. The digestive system is an effective way to administer CBD, where the compounds are broken down and transported throughout the body like any oral medication or nutritional supplement.
Putting CBD oil into gelatin form does not reduce its potency or efficacy. Gelatin is an ideal matrix for CBD that allows the ingredients to keep their potency over long periods without degrading. Gelatin is also very easy to digest, allowing the ingredients to be quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, infusing the body with whatever is contained in the gelatin matrix. Most substances, including CBD oil, don’t react with the chemically neutral gelatin, which simply holds the ingredients until it is dissolved by the digestive system, releasing the ingredients into the bloodstream and carrying them throughout the body. Gelatin is naturally tasteless but can be infused with any number of flavors making gelatin-based edibles seem more like candy, with multiple enticing flavors, a rainbow of colors, and fun shapes.
CBD Hard Candies
CBD hard candies are not much different than CBD gummies other than one is a chewy gummy and the other is a hard candy. Using a sugar-free candy base is similar to gelatin in that it does not reduce the potency of the CBD oil. What it does do is provide an enjoyable way to get CBD relaxation supplements or edibles through a tasty hard candy that melts in your mouth over time. Uncle Bud’s CBD candies are sugar-free but come in two deliciously sweet flavors: lemon and cherry. These hard candies are infused with CBD to create a delicious hard treat that can be enjoyed whenever you like, night or day, and are a convenient and tasty way to enhance your relaxation wellness routine.
CBD Bear Gummies
CBD Bear Gummies are identical to other CBD gelatin gummies – the only difference is the cute and cuddly bear shapes. Like other CBD gummies, they provide a convenient and tasty way to incorporate CBD into a relaxation routine. Uncle Bud’s CBD Bears are premium fruit-flavored gummies infused with pure CBD oil. These cute and colorful bears are made from deliciously chewy gelatin for an anytime CBD treat. Do you like your bears sweet or sour?
