Before the month ends tonight, I wanted to publish another post in honor of May - Mental Health Awareness Month. Last week I spoke about Work-Life Balance Tips and a Mindset / Mindfullness app, which can both help greatly; however, today I want to talk about something that you can physically take to perhaps feel better.

Today I’m going to go over how you can use cbd oil and the benefits I’ve seen from usage. If you want to learn more about CBD specifically and all the possible benefits it can yield, I wrote an entire blog post in great detail here. I use WildPlant Wellness for a lot of reasons (that I mentioned here), but the main reasons are that they serve a quality product that is traceable and transparent with their plants and business practices. This goes well beyond the fact that they sell full-spectrum hemp extract oil! (You don’t wan’t broad-spectrum or isolate CBD and you DO want a little THC in there. Ready why here.) Want to try it?

HOW TO USE CBD OIL:
If you are new to CBD oil, start low and slow. Begin with a quarter dropper full and go from there. Don’t forget to shake the product before using it! WildPlant Wellness uses coconut oil as a carrier oil, so it is a MUST to shake the product prior to using to get a non-separated, more effective dosage.
I typically put about half dropper of WildPlant Wellness under my tongue for at least 20 seconds, then swallow what is left. That’s actually how I take my turmeric/ginger tincture too! This helps the CBD help you faster! By holding it under your tongue, your bloodstream readily absorbs it through your oral cavity. If you don’t want to ingest it directly, you can also put it in smoothies, cocktails, sauces, and more! It is just full-spectrum hemp oil and high end coconut oil, so there isn’t much flavor.
If you don’t want to ingest it at all, you can also apply it topically! Just apply it directly to the area and massage in.
WHEN TO USE CBD OIL:
To feel the effects to the fullest, you should take it regularly. To be honest, I’m not the best at remembering to take it daily and have been more of a “take it when I need it” person. There’s nothing wrong with this; however, you experience the benefits better when you make it a part of your regular life.
I’ll get into “when” I specifically take it below.
WHAT CBD OIL HAS HELPED ME WITH:
Headaches. If I have any inkling of a headache, I reach for my cbd oil immediately. It usually clears it up in under an hour. Note I’ve only seen this with semi-mild headaches, NOT migraines. Those are a different story.
Stress. When I feel stress, come on I typically notice it because I’m not breathing very deeply. It isn’t that I can’t breathe, but that I can’t get enough air. My heart rate increases and I begin to get a headache. When I feel the first effects of stress (shortness of breath) I reach for the CBD and it helps to relax me.
Sleep. I don’t have a ton of sleep issues * knock on wood * BUT when I have trouble turning my brain off, I each for CBD. I sleep so well / hard when I take it!
I’ve received some questions about if CBD oil has helped me with my ulcerative colitis symptoms. I can’t say whether or not it has helped me in that aspect. I’m still within 6 months of my diagnosis and still on mediations morning and night. I will say that I did take it daily and felt like it made me constipated… that could have just been a fluke, but I haven’t worked up the courage to try again. I haven’t seen any issues taking it as needed!
Do you use CBD? What is your favorite way to yield the benefits? Most people I know take it for sleep. What is your favorite reason? If my friends aren’t using it for sleep, they take it to help with anxiety. There’s no wrong way or reason!! Before you try, make sure you find a brand you can trust. I love WildPlant Wellness. Don’t forget you can try their product for 33% off with discount code ELLEMULENOS!!
