How to use CBD: A comparison of methods and their benefits
by AMNIENS
Wondering how to consume CBD? In recent years, there’s been a surge in CBD product offerings, along with an increase in product types and usage methods. Whether taken orally, inhaled, or through topical application, CBD can be consumed in various ways, each offering unique advantages and disadvantages depending on individual needs and preferences. Here are some of the most common methods so you can choose the one that suits you best.
Oral Consumption : Sublingual Oils, capsules, gummies
Oral consumption is one of the most common methods of CBD intake, with two primary approaches: sublingual use, where drops are placed under the tongue and held for a few seconds for absorption, and ingestion, which passes through the digestive system.
Sublingual administration
Sublingual oils are generally taken in the morning and/or evening as needed and are easy to use throughout the day. Placing a few drops under the tongue for about thirty seconds allows for rapid absorption, making sublingual oils a simple and effective way to consume CBD. However, the natural taste of cannabis in these products may be off-putting to some.
Oral and Digestive Administration
Loved for their ease of use and fun appeal, CBD capsules, gummies, and other edibles allow precise dosing according to the manufacturer’s guidelines and are convenient for consumption anytime throughout the day based on desired effects. However, given the digestion time, the absorption of active compounds is slower, resulting in a delayed onset of effects.
Localised topical application: Massage Oils, Balms, Creams
Ideal for relieving localised aches, topical CBD application involves using products such as oils, creams, or balms directly on the skin for deep relaxation, thanks to slow but sustained absorption. This method is popular among those who work out and those experiencing everyday discomforts, as it targets specific areas of the body and provides long-lasting relief. However, for individuals seeking immediate, full-body relief, topical application may be less suitable.
Topical application: The Amniens Experience
Amniens’ scented oils stand out with their holistic approach, combining the benefits of CBD with ingredients like vetiver, bergamot and sandalwood, which work on both physical and emotional wellbeing to provide a profound sense of harmony while caring for the skin.
Simply apply the roll-on oil to pulse points for a continuous, long-lasting absorption, allowing the effects to unfold gradually and while also providing emotional benefits through gentle scent stimulation. However, due to the slower rate of absorption, these oils may not provide immediate relief, making them ideal for those seeking a steady, enduring sense of balance rather than quick results.
