So you've read all about cannabidiol (or CBD as it's more commonly known) and now you're thinking about giving it a try. It makes sense. The food and lifestyle industries are buzzing about this natural chemical compound, which is said to help with anxiety, arthritis, pain relief, menopausal symptoms, and insomnia, just to name a few.
Have you decided to try what's next? When it comes to how to take CBD oil, you're spoiled for choice. From tinctures and topicals to smoothies and coffee blends, there are tons of options. Don't know where to start? That's where we come in - here's our guide to CBD oil to help you decide the best way to take CBD oil.
How to take CBD oil?
While there are many ways to take CBD oil, it depends on the strength of the oil. With our 100mg CBD oils (a great starting point), you place five drops of CBD oil under your tongue and hold them there for 30-60 seconds, three times a day. However, you can freestyle by adding drops to your smoothie, juice, or even your morning cup of tea. CBD is also said to reduce the spiciness of coffee.

9 Ways to Take CBD Oil at Home
In tincture
In layman's terms, a tincture is a mixture that you take through a pipette or spray directly into your mouth. You can take CBD oil by placing it directly under your tongue (this part of your mouth is an area rich in capillaries, so CBD will enter your bloodstream more quickly). Try dropping a dose of CBD under your tongue and holding it there for a minute before swallowing.
In a capsule
CBD oil also comes in capsule form, which can be a good option for people who want to maintain a constant amount of the compound in their body. However, when CBD is ingested, it passes through the digestive tract, which means you may have to wait more than 30 minutes before you experience any effects.
In the lane
Some CBD oil blends can have a sharp, earthy taste. It's not for everyone, so many like to mask the taste with other, tastier ingredients. Another way to take CBD is to add half a teaspoon of CBD oil to your morning smoothie for a relaxing start to the day.
In coffee
If only there was a way to capture the energy of coffee without the associated jitters. Oh wait… there is! There are more and more CBD coffee brands that claim that when coffee beans are infused with CBD, they relieve the jitters that caffeine consumption can cause. This makes the coffee effect smoother; it takes the edge off. Or use non-dairy milk infused with CBD for easy dosage control and allowing you to continue using your favorite coffee blend.
In salad dressing
Now we speak the same language, don't we? Try incorporating some CBD oil into your daily cooking regimen to reap the many health benefits without much effort. To make a delicious and nutritious salad dressing, start with three to four tablespoons of olive oil, then add two teaspoons of CBD, the juice of half a lemon, and salt and pepper.
In a vape pen
Okay, this might sound a little scary, but vape pens are easy to use and can go unnoticed because they produce little smoke. The advantage of taking CBD in a vape pen is that when you inhale the CBD, it enters the lungs, where it quickly enters the bloodstream. However, it is important to note that the long-term safety of vaping is still unknown.
In sweet treats
The beauty of CBD is that it can be baked into anything, so you'll find everything from cookies and cakes to gum and caramels infused with it. The treats are easy to take in your bag on the go, while the baked goods may need to be refrigerated to keep the CBD fresh (or just eat them quickly before they go bad?).
In a local rub or balm
In balm or rub form, CBD is often mixed with fragrant coconut oil or beeswax, making it easier to apply to the skin (and make your body smell nice). When applied topically, CBD can affect local targets, such as inflamed muscles or joints. We've also heard it works wonders for period pain.
In a cocktail
If you feel like it, go on the hunt for a CBD cocktail. We've heard from Fame that in San Diego you can order a Mr. Steamy Guy, a mixed drink made with vodka and mezcal that includes CBD. More proof, if it were needed, that CBD can be consumed with any other food or drink, and that you'll soon discover a lot more of it.
