Several Medical Dr’s and Scientists have been extensively
researching cannabis and its main chemical components over the last decade or
longer. Consequently, they have isolated the main compounds responsible for the psychotropic (High Effect)
and as well as the non psychotropic
compounds with medicinal properties of the cannabis plant.
One of those major components responsible for the amazing
medicinal properties of cannabis is CBD (cannabidiol). CBD was first discovered in an attempt to treat
multiple neurological and inflammatory conditions.
With this knowledge we can also say — the purest CBD can be
found in the form of essential oil. Keep reading to find out more about CBD
essential oil, as well as more common uses.

What Is CBD Essential
Oil?
CBD (cannabidiol) essential oil is one of the most natural
forms of cannabidiol you can currently find.
Even with multiple manufacturers you can choose from, most
of them boil down to more or less the same components. The original method for
extracting CBD uses alcohol as a dissolving agent. You start by soaking the
plant material in alcohol for an allotted time. Once that time has passed, you
remove the plant. The remaining mixture then goes through an evaporation
process to remove the alcohol leaving only the cannabidiol oil that was removed from the plant tissue.
The method got its name from its original inventor, Rick
Simpson. The famous Rick Simpson oil was the first CBD essential oil to gain
mass popularity which prompted further
research on CBD as a medicine.
Now the most popular modern method of extracting CBD uses
CO2 to force the oil out of the plant instead of alcohol. The CO2 method advantage lies in controlling the temperature and
pressure of the extraction process. In addition, the method allows you to
extract different cannabinoids separately, which is why CBD oil with very low
levels of THC is possible to make in the first place.

Different Kinds Of
CBD Oils
While it popularized CBD oil as a natural medicine, the
famous Rick Simpson oil is not as suitable for real medicinal use. Because all
cannabinoids are extracted from the plant at once, the THC and CBD levels can vary
greatly from batch to the next. At the same time there are strains of cannabis
with high CBD and low THC, the overall THC content in the Rick Simpson oil is
still too high for standard protocol for medicinal use.
In recent yrs, the CO2 extraction method has been most common
and most suited extraction method for quality CBD and for consistent products. Of course all of this is still dependent on the
manufacturer, you may, for example, end up with a slight variation in THC or
CBD levels. Still, the level of THC can never goes above 0.3% to be considered
legal in all 50 US states.
Also different strains have different terpenes, and all of
them have varying levels of these beneficial compounds as well. Other cannabinoids
may or may not be included during the extraction process, and their CBD levels
could vary as well. Most manufacturers also add hemp seed oil to the mix, for
its omega-3 fatty acids and other nutritional benefits.

In Conclusion
If you wish to try out CBD oil, you have a wide variety of
choices available on the market today. What is most important is you first, check
what dose of CBD you need to take for your condition. Generally it is best to
start with a lower dose when first starting CBD. Most recommend a 300-500 mg tincture strength for beginning. You
might also, try out different manufacturers to see what oil works best for you.
Everyone’s body reacts differently to different oils not to mention different
oils are of a different quality as well. This is something to research for
yourself. The things to definitely look for are is the CBD made through a CO2
extraction process. Is the oil a CBD Isolate ( containing only CBD) or is it a
full spectrum compound (which contains all the terpenes, cannabinoids and other
essential nutrients commonly found in the hemp plant) And lastly it is best to
look for companies that use an organic source for their hemp. This insures
there has been no hard chemicals used during the growth process of the plant
that might carry residue over into the final product.
