What is CBD oil?

CBD oil (or cannabidiol) is one of the most popular forms of CBD consumption in France. Natural, versatile and easy to dose, it appeals to a growing number of people looking for a solution to promote well-being. But what exactly is CBD? How is it extracted and how to choose the right dosage? Discover in this article all the essential information on CBD oil, as well as the products offered by Délicure.

What is CBD oil?

CBD (cannabidiol) is extracted from hemp flowers, a variety of Cannabis Sativa rich in cannabidiol. Unlike THC, CBD has no psychotropic effect and does not cause addiction. While THC acts on the reward circuit and is considered a prohibited narcotic substance in France, CBD is legal because it does not have the psychoactive effects associated with THC.

How is CBD oil obtained?

To make CBD oil, we start by extracting cannabidiol from hemp flowers. This operation can be done using different methods (cold extraction, carbon dioxide, solvents, etc.). Once isolated, the CBD is then diluted in a vegetable oil: coconut oil, avocado oil or sweet almond oil, for example.
At Délicure , we have chosen to use avocado oil and sweet almond oil for their delicate flavors and their many benefits.

Effects of CBD

Often considered by its consumers as a well-being ally , CBD is unfortunately considered a new molecule in France, as such cannabidiol does not yet benefit from authorized claims (like probiotics), so we cannot say that CBD is used to reduce stress, pain and to improve the quality of sleep.

Composition of CBD oil

CBD oil does not only contain cannabidiol. To obtain an oil that is pleasant to consume, the CBD extract is mixed with a vegetable oil (coconut, olive, avocado, etc.). Sometimes, natural or artificial flavors are added to tone down the strong taste of hemp. The oil obtained can thus vary in terms of flavors and composition depending on the type of extracts and oils used.

CBD oil: which dosage to choose?

The dosage of CBD oil depends mainly on your needs, your weight, your tolerance to the product and the concentration of cannabidiol in the oil. For the same quantity of drops, a 10% oil will not contain as much CBD as a 30% oil.

Some tips for finding your ideal dosage

1. Start slowly : For first use, it is best to start with small quantities.
2. Increase gradually : Observe how you feel, then adjust the number of drops or the frequency of consumption.
3. Consider your weight : A common recommendation is 0.5 mg of CBD per kilogram. For example, a 60 kg person can start with around 30 mg of CBD per day, divided into several doses (morning, noon, evening).
4. Do not exceed 50 mg per day : As a precautionary measure, it is preferable to stay within moderate dosages.
5. Consider the concentration : One drop of 10% oil contains about 5 mg of CBD, while one drop of 30% oil contains about 15 mg.

At Délicure , we provide you with an online calculator to help you determine the quantity of CBD best suited to your needs.

How to consume CBD oil?

1. Sublingually

• Fastest absorption method : Place the desired number of drops under the tongue and wait approximately 30 to 60 seconds before swallowing.
• Almost immediate effect : The oral mucous membranes quickly absorb cannabidiol, allowing the effects to be felt in around ten minutes.
• Minor drawback : The taste can be bitter or grassy, ​​which may bother some people.

2. Orally

• More discreet method : Add CBD drops to your food or drinks to mask the taste.
• Slower absorption : The oil must pass through the digestive system, which delays and slightly reduces the effectiveness of the product. Oral absorption will greatly degrade the effectiveness of the CBD.
• Gourmet idea : You can also cook with CBD oil, by mixing a few drops with a traditional oil.

Please note : CBD oils are not designed to be used in an electronic cigarette. Only CBD e-liquids are suitable for vaping.

Other forms of CBD

Besides oil, CBD is found in different forms:

• Flowers : to infuse or vaporize (according to current legislation).
• Capsules : for precise and practical intake.
• Candies and gummies : easy to carry, with a pleasant sweet taste.
• Cosmetics : creams, balms and ointments to be applied directly to the skin.

Regardless of the method of consumption, always respect the dosage indicated on the packaging and store your products (oils, e-liquids, flowers, etc.) in a cool, dry place, away from light.

When to consume CBD oil?

There is no hard and fast rule about when is the best time to take CBD oil. It all depends on your needs and how you feel:

• In the morning : to start the day more peacefully, for example by adding a few drops to your coffee.
• In the evening : to promote relaxation before bedtime.

Sublingually , you will benefit from a faster and more optimal action. By incorporating it into your dishes or drinks, you will mask the taste more, but the effect will be less intense and take longer to manifest.

In summary

CBD oil is a natural, non-addictive product appreciated for its well-being potential.
