Health and Wellness: The benefits of CBD

Are you interested in health improvement with CBD? Are you wanting to incorporate CBD health and wellness routines?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety compound that many people find can improve their overall health. Although it is a cannabinoid compound like the THC in marijuana, CBD does not create an intoxicated high like THC. Instead, this compound can reduce inflammation and causes a general sense of well-being.

What does the Media say?

According to a Forbes article: 

Research shows that CBD health and wellness may be effective in alleviating anxiety, chronic inflammation and pain, insomnia, and forms of childhood epilepsy. Moreover, a long-term study published in the Journal of  Alzheimer’s Disease found that CBD may help prevent cognitive decline. In addition, according to a review published in the Neurotherapeutics journal, CBD may also be effective in treating substance use disorder.

CBD oil may help treat acne due to its anti-inflammatory properties and the ability to reduce sebum production. Studies show that cannabidiol may treat eczema and psoriasis.

Ontogen’s CBD extract is made from organically grown flowers and is minimally processed to retain its all-natural properties. We combine this whole plant extract and coconut MCT oil for absorption to support vitally important physiological functions. 

How Much CBD Should You Take?

There is still a great deal of research being done on CBD. Right now, there is not a daily recommended dose of this compound. This has led to different brands starting with high doses like 25mg, 50, mg, even 100mg. If you have never tried CBD before, we recommend starting with a low 5mg dose and working upward until you find a consistent level that meets your needs.

Start Low and Go Slow

Some people experience the effects of CBD shortly after taking the first 5mg dose. However, many others find that it takes time to see the difference this compound makes. A methodical approach is the best way to find the right level for you. This is no different than anything else you take every day. 

Start with a low dose of 5 mg taken two to three times each day. Stick with that lower dose for at least four days so that your body can adjust to the compound. Then, you can raise the dose and repeat the process, as directed on bottle, until you have reached the level that works for your particular needs. CBD health and wellness is a start in the right direction to maintaining balance within the body. 

Listen to Your Body’s Endocannabinoid System

CBD primarily acts on your body’s endocannabinoid system. That’s right, your body actually makes cannabinoids and has receptors throughout the brain and the entire body. Every person’s body is different. The proper CBD dosage depends on many factors including the amount of cannabinoids you’re currently making and how fast they are broken down by your body’s own enzymes. This is why you may need a very different dose from your friend or relative, even an identical twin, to see the same effects.

The most frequent way finding the right Ontogen CBD dose has been described is that “..at some point, I realized that I just felt good!” At Ontogen Botanicals, we believe that finding the exact right CBD dosage will give you an organic, safe and powerful daily tool to help you feel your best.
