How To Get The Most Inflammation Benefits From CBD Oil

 

1) Start Small

When taking any course of medicine — CBD or otherwise — it’s always best to start small. The least amount of CBD oil you can take to feel relief from your inflammation the better.

2) Pick Your Favorite Dosage Method

As mentioned above, there are plenty of choices for taking CBD. Even CBD oil itself offers a number of ways to get the CBD you need.

You can:

1. Use the CBD oil in edibles
2. Ingest the CBD oil directly
3. Take the CBD oil sublingually
4. Apply the CBD oil to your skin

Try each of these methods in turn to find which dosage method works best for you.

3) Make Your Own CBD Inflammation Remedy

As mentioned earlier, most CBD oils are produced in professional labs with expensive equipment. But there are several methods you can use to make your own CBD oil at home.

Going the DIY route gives you complete control over what’s in your medicine. You can’t get that from a store-bought product.

4) Choose The Right Strain

The right strain makes a huge difference when it comes to battling inflammation.

Think of the inflammation as bags of mulch you can buy at your local hardware store and the strain as the vehicle you choose to haul those bags.

You could use a zippy and nimble Mazda Miata to transport the mulch — maybe one or two bags at a time. Or, you could use a big and powerful Ford F-250 pickup with an eight-foot bed to haul 250 bags or more in a single trip.

For the best CBD inflammation remedy, choose a high CBD/low THC strain like:

• Charlotte’s Web
• Ringo’s Gift
• Harlequin
• Cannatonic
• Sour Tsunami
• Harle-Tsu
• Canna-Tsu
• ACDC
• Warlock
• Zen
• Pennywise

Those strains provide the best CBD inflammation relief without the risk of psychedelic effects associated with higher-THC strains.

5) Avoid Moldy Buds

When it comes to making your own CBD inflammation remedy, one of the best things you can do is avoid moldy buds.

Common marijuana molds — including Botrytis cinerea (bud rot) and Aspergillus — can cause serious health problems such as infection, lung damage, cough, severe fatigue, and even invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (which can be fatal).

The first step to avoiding moldy marijuana is to examine the plant matter carefully. Whether you’re using your naked eye, a magnifying glass, or a microscope, look for cobweb-like material, dark spots, yellow and grey fuzz, and slime.

If you see any of these, consider it moldy.

The second step to avoiding moldy marijuana is to smell your weed. If you detect the aroma of sweat or urine, there’s probably mold somewhere.

The third step to avoiding moldy marijuana is to feel the bud. Healthy marijuana that is properly cured should feel dry and crispy. If it feels damp or spongy, it may be moldy.

Talk to the budtenders at your local dispensary in Keystone CO and find out what products or strains they recommend.
