If your CBD oil does not display this info you must seek a genuine vendor for safety and peace of mind. The CTA has an extensive list of trusted vendors just us.

Stand in front of a mirror until you gain confidence and carefully add the stated drops under your tongue. CanaXen Silver has 10% CBD and 4 drops are recommended twice daily for example.

Drop say 6 drops into your palm. With your other hand apply the oil directly to the intended site. Rub it thoroughly into the skin ensuring full absorption.

3. How to use CBD oil for Inhalation

Summary – This is one of our favourite methods for how to use CBD oil because it involves a small amount of fun. Whilst we don’t encourage vaping or inhaling anything it is important to note! At the same time, we realised very early on that vaping was an easy way to get CBD into your system rapidly.

As with smoking, vaporising uses the lungs as the middleman to get cannabinoids into the system. Smoking anything is not advised and not good for your lungs so be mindful of what you put into them.

Directions – Always observe safety regulations regarding oil/liquid used and the vaporiser before you proceed!

Ensure your e-liquid or vape oil is CTA registered. Currently, this is the only safe way to know what it is you are ingesting and how it was formulated. Ensure you have the correct equipment for the correct oil. You can find this in our vaping CBD oil Guide. Inhale a small amount of the mix to test that you will be ok with the vapour. Allow yourself to adjust to the amount of vape that works best for you. Once you are happy, take a decent inhalation and hold it for around 10 seconds. With our e-liquids, an obvious feeling of calm can be experienced within seconds. CBD oil has a zero toxicity level. Some of the mixers that e-liquids come in do have a toxicity level so be aware. Just don’t overdo it.

4. How to use CBD oil in Beverages

Summary – Over the years we have had a great number of customers who enjoy adding their CBD oil to various different drinks. This is a great way to get cannabinoids into the gut system directly and the body in general.

It is important to note that this dilutes the oil and effects will be less obvious.

Always use a drink which has an oil-based component! Put simply this means add something like milk in tea and coffee drinks. Cannabinoids are oil based as is milk is. Cannabinoids will not bond or mix with normal water based drinks. Although Gweneth Paltrow claims to have her CBD oil with cocktails! In CBD water they use a method of crystallising and de-fatting the CBD molecule making it water soluble.

This method of isolating CBD is not good for the Entourage effect which helps the ECS. Always bear that in mind, you need a whole plant extract like CanaXen for best effects.

Directions – Make sure you have selected the right liquid for the CBD product you intend to use. Products like our RAW HEMP will absorb nicely into water-based drinks and gives a great energy boost!

Add the label guided amount of CBD oil to any drink with an oily base such as milk. The part I usually forget, remove the tea bag before adding oil if making tea! The CBD oil will rise to the surface. The black bumps are pure CBD oil separated from the MCT we use as a carrier oil. Drink slowly, you will notice the oil goes quickly as it sits on the surface. If using CanaXen CBD oil you will likely feel the benefits after around five to ten minutes.

How to store CBD products

Its all about how to use CBD oil properly and that starts with how you store it. Some oils will spoil or at least lose their beneficial effects when left in warmer environments. Say, over 20 degree’s C for prolonged periods of time.

Always try to keep your oils cool in a fridge or at least a cool dry and dark place. Storing correctly will allow your products to remain effective for up to 1 year. Always take care when using the dropper, clean up spillages around the screw cap to avoid it getting messy over time. Love your bottle, CBD oils like CanaXen can last up to 3 months if label instruction is followed to the letter. Keep an eye on how much you have left!
