By David Broom

The wonderful world of CBD may seem like a mystery to any new users of the miracle plant since it is available in multiple forms like oil, tincture, balms, creams, isolates and so on. Choosing the best variety or rather I must say, form is what makes the decision difficult for a new user. CBD has gained a lot of importance in the recent years and it comes in so many forms and why not, it has something for everyone.

The thing about CBD is that its effect is not the same for everyone. Some get the most out of it in the form of oils, some by vaping, some by mixing the plant leaves and flowers to smoke, while others prefer the creams and lotions.

What is CBD?

CBD or cannabidiol is an extract of the marijuana plant and has many medicinal benefits. CBD does not make the people feel stoned, thereby, making it a perfect choice for people looking for relief from anxiety, pain, inflammation, seizure, spasms, and other such conditions. s

CBD is also known to help in treating diabetes, depression, schizophrenia, alcoholism, chronic pain, arthritis, epilepsy, infections, and other neurological disorders. CBD is also known to have some anti-cancer properties.

Why CBD?

CBD has in recent years gained popularity in the medical world with its medicinal properties without the psychoactive effects that is normally associated with the marijuana. CBD is also a component of the marijuana plant and helps in reducing or relief from multiple health problems. In simple words, it is called as ‘jacks of all trades’. CBD is anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety properties making it one of the safest treatment approaches for many health issues.

Ways of consuming CBD

1. CBD powder or oil

CBD can be consumed in the form of powder or oils easily as it is easier to take anything with the food you eat. Adding the CBD oil to your meals is the easiest way to take in the CBD, without the hassle of measuring or mixing; just add a few drops. You will be able to reap the benefits of CBD easily and effectively.

CBD powder can also be consumed as a supplement with your health shakes or formulations. The powder comes in a crystallized form, has all that natural good and is easily consumable.

2. CBD oral spray

Just like other mouth fresheners, CBD oral fresheners are a good way to get fresh breath. Just spray them in your mouth and feel the freshness that the CBD offers. CBD oral sprays come in various flavors like peppermint, vanilla, original, and many more.

3. CBD vaporizers

CBD oils can be used through typical CBD vape pen. This method is far safer than smoking CBD as the benefits of CBD can be reaped via the vapors that are formed and inhaled by you. Disposable CBD vape pens are the best option when you are on the go as they give you between 150 to 200 puffs, lasting 2-3 weeks. These disposable pens are the best option for people who are either travelling or those who want to try the effect of CBD on them before investing on a full-fledged vaporizer.

4. CBD tincture

CBD tincture is an alcohol based cannabis plant extract that is less concentrated than the CBD oils. They are easily available in dropper bottles and vary in the level of concentration. The tincture can be consumed either directly by putting few drops in the mouth of the patient or by adding it to his food like the oil. It is a better option for patients who require taking the CBD frequently and in public places.

5. Capsules

When you are in a hurry to take the CBD or are running late and cannot spare time to mix either the oil or the powder or are on a travel where carrying multiple ingredients seems like a hassle, then the best way is to go for the CBD capsules. CBD capsules are easy to carry around and can be consumed anytime during the day and also, can be consumed along with your other vitamin supplements. It is the best option of consuming CBD on a regular basis in today’s fast paced lifestyle where stopping even for a minute to mix your supplements seems like a waste of time.

Now it is up to the user to choose the best form of CBD, as they see fit. CBD comes in various forms, in different sizes and methods but it is important to keep one single point is mind while buying CBD is its best quality; don’t compensate the quality of the CBD with its price.
