CBD oil how does it really make you feel

How Does CBD Oil Make You Feel & Its Amazing Benefits

(Last Updated On: August 3, 2021)

In recent years, CBD oil has gone from being virtually unknown to something everyone is talking about and using. In the wellness world, it might be fairly new as a product even though marijuana and cannabinoids have been used for thousands of years for their pain relief and other beneficial properties. As CBD is something quite new, it’s natural to have a lot of questions about it such as how does CBD oil makes you feel, what the benefits are and of course whether it’s legal.

There are quite a few studies that have been carried out on CBD oil and how it can benefit our mental and physical health. Studies show that taking a high-quality broad or full-spectrum CBD oil can have many benefits from anxiety and stress relief to reduced muscle soreness after workouts.

If you’re wondering about the benefits of CBD oil and how does CBD oil make you feel keep reading for my personal experience with CBD oil and how I felt after taking it for two weeks straight.

WHAT IS CBD OIL?

CBD is one of over 113 active compounds that are known as cannabinoids. These cannabinoids are derived from the hemp plant ( different from the marihuana plant) and made into CBD products such as oil. Sometimes CBD is diluted with a carrier oil, normally hemp seed oil but it can also be coconut oil to make the ‘oil’ products available to us today.

It’s important to note that cannabidiol (CBD) is very different from tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the compound in marihuana that gets you ‘high’.  CBD is not psychoactive which means that you will not feel ‘high’ when you take it. There are no major mind-altering effects with CBD so if you are looking for an otherworldly, transcendent experience you will have to go elsewhere.

CBD does have adaptogenic properties and like other adaptogens like medicinal roots and mushrooms, it does have the power to help the body to, well, adapt. Due to this, the effects of CDB molecules are completely personalised based on your own body or mind’s needs.

HOW DOES CBD OIL MAKE YOU FEEL?

CBD oil and CBD products work when the cannabinoids in these products interact with the receptors found in the body’s endocannabinoid system. CBD has been proven to offer many therapeutic benefits both mental and physical and it could be much more powerful (as a medicine) than we think.

It’s important to note that cannabinoids are pleiotropic meaning that it has different effects as it moves through the body and binds to multiple receptors. This means that CBD products have different effects on different people. It doesn’t mean you’ll get all the same benefits from CBD that others might have reported. You could see more benefits. You could see less.

Taking CBD really is a personal experience and something you really have to try for yourself to see if it works for you. Also, CBD takes time to build up in the body and create results so you might not feel it straight away, especially if you’re taking it for pain relief, anxiety or inflammation. That doesn’t mean it isn’t working.

Once you take CBD, it takes about 15-45 minutes to feel an effect. Sometimes you might not feel an active effect.

Relaxed– Almost all research shows that CBD helps with anxiety and stress. This was certainly true for me and this is the first thing I mentioned when people ask about how CBD oil makes me feel.

I’m quite an anxious and ‘stressy’ person. I stress at the smallest things and worry about things going wrong and I personally wanted to try CBD to ‘take the edge’ off. I have to say I was seriously impressed by the results. Within a week I started to feel just less anxious about the things I’d normally stress about.

Most people also report feeling much more relaxed when taking CBD and I believe this is one of the largest benefits of it, especially in today’s digital, fast-paced world.

More focused– CBD products act to relax the body and mind as well as provide calm. When the mind calms it slows down and almost rejects feelings of overwhelm and overthinking. Due to this, you become more focused on the task at hand. I’ve personally found that after taking CBD I’ve felt more focused at work and have been much less distracted.

Less pain or soreness after workouts– One of the better-known benefits of CBD oil is its effect on the reduction of pain and inflammation. In fact, many people with chronic conditions like arthritis or gastrointestinal issues turn to CBD oil due to its anti-inflammatory properties. The same goes for inflammation and soreness after workouts.

After taking CBD oil one of the things I noticed the most was how much I didn’t hurt the next day after a seriously gruelling workout. The CBD oil’s anti-inflammatory properties also work on muscles allowing them to heal faster and get you back in shape for the next workout.

Sleepy – One of the biggest benefits of taking CBD oil is its improvement on sleep and from what I’ve heard most CBD oil consumers sleep better at night. I’ve never had a problem with sleep personally so I’m not one to comment too much on the benefits of CBD on sleep but after having talked about it with friends, they have definitely reported better sleep and getting to sleep with ease.

If you’re someone who does struggle with getting to sleep and counting sheep just doesn’t help then you might want to give CBD oil a go. Just a couple of drops under the tongue before bed can really help.

A sense of peace – One of the other feelings you can expect after taking CBD products is a general feeling of peace that’s actually quite hard to describe. You feel light and worry-free and like everything’s ok. I’d also describe the feeling as one of freedom and positivity.

Of course, you don’t feel at peace all the time, life does sometimes throw curveballs at you but in higher stress periods and busier periods of life, CBD oil does have an overall positive and calming effect.

OTHER BENEFITS OF CBD OIL

CBD products offer a myriad of other potential wellness benefits that go beyond just feelings. When combined with a mindful, healthy and holistic lifestyle they can really go far to improve your quality of life.

Neurological conditions – Some scientific studies suggest that CBD oil can actually help with ailments and chronic conditions such as epilepsy, chronic pain, lupus and sclerosis. Many studies have now proven that CBD can reduce the severity of seizures for those that suffer from epilepsy and it can have an anticonvulsant effect, limiting seizures altogether. Make sure to speak to your healthcare professional before using CBD products in this particular case.

Fewer menstrual cramps and less pain – CBD oil can also help with PMS symptoms and menstrual cramps during our cycles. Due to its pain relief properties, CBD also help with menstrual cycle cramps, ovulation discomfort and other menstrual cycle-related annoyances. If you do have uncomfortable menstrual cramps you might want to also try a topical CBD balm or cream for faster absorption to the target area. Check out my favourite CBD balm here.

Reduce acne– CBD oil can have anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective and antioxidative effects on the oil-releasing glands in the body which can help to reduce acne. While not many studies have been done on these particular benefits, many women, in particular, have reported improvements in reducing acne, especially hormonal acne when coming off the pill.

Cancer-related symptoms – Due to its pain relief properties, CBD oil can help to relieve some cancer-related issues and general aches, pains and discomfort from treatments like chemotherapy. Make sure to speak to your healthcare professional before using CBD products in this particular case.

ARE CBD PRODUCTS LEGAL AND SAFE?

In short, yes, CBD products are legal and safe but regulations do change depending on where you live. Some states in the US, for example, are stricter with CBD products than others.

According to Harvard Medical School, in most states of the United States, confusingly, CBD isn’t legal or illegal and its position has been described as in flux. CBD oil is available to buy openly online and in stores but I would recommend researching CBD and marijuana laws in your state as restrictions vary. The Federal Government considers CBD to be in the same class as marijuana even though they don’t actually enforce it.

While it’s not very likely, CBD products can also interfere with existing medication, so make sure you speak with a healthcare practitioner before using CBD products. Your healthcare practitioner will be able to recommend the correct dosage for you. Make sure to always read the label too and not go over the recommended daily dosage.

It’s also a good idea to research brands that sell CBD properly. Not all brands, especially the cheaper products are of the best quality nor are they responsibly sourced.  CBD products aren’t cheap and if the price is too good to be true you need to question the quality of the product.

For this reason, I always use CBD oil from Onyx + Rose unless I’ve run out on the road.  They adhere to the highest standards of product quality and testing and they use pure ingredients and precise extraction processes. Their products are organic and contain no pesticides or heavy metals. I’ve always had great experiences will all their oils and cosmetic products and their amazing reviews show that I’m not their only happy customer.

HOW TO USE CBD?

Most CBD is available as an oil solution known as CBD oil but it’s also available in capsules, creams, balms, sprays and even bath bombs. In fact, these days you can get CBD in just about anything including health foods, cosmetics and dietary supplements.

You’ll also notice that CBD comes in different dosages, mainly 500, 1,000 or 2,000 milligrams. How much you take really depends on your needs and other factors such as your weight, whether you’re taking prescribed medication etc.

If you’re taking CBD oil for the first time, it’s better to start with a lower dosage increasing if and when you need to. I personally use 500 or 1,000mg depending on how I feel and what’s going on in my life.

CBD oil and CBD products really are a game-changer and once you feel the amazing benefits and how CBD oil makes you feel you’ll not want to be without it. Are you ready to try it?

Hotel breakfast or skip the hotel breakfast? ☕️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't know about you guys but recently I've been getting into the habit of skipping the less-than-average hotel breakfast and heading out for more local options when travelling. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Of course, hotel breakfasts are super convenient and when in an amazing resort that supplies quality, healthy food I'll always go for that. 
But recently I've found that in your average hotel the breakfasts are also average and I'm not prepared to waste one of my meal times on average food. 😂 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hitting the street for breakfast has plenty of benefits:

-Discover new breakfast foods from different cultures around the world. 

- For healthy eating, you can head to a cafe with healthy options and not have to be faced with nothing but a cheap slice of bread

- You can see the city wake up. This is often the best time to be out anyway with fewer crowds and great light. 

- You contribute a little more to the local economy and local independent cafes, street spots and individual business owners. 💜

- If you're plant-based you'll know how limiting the average hotel breakfast can be so it's better to head to a vegan-friendly cafe instead. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Where do you prefer eating breakfast when travelling? Are you team hotel or team cafe?

Memories from California ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's been so nice having more time over the last month to look through and revisit all the photos from some really memorable trips to California, I've been sitting on for a while now. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's one of my favourite shots from Pioneertown, a place I had no idea about until 3 hours before we rocked up right in time for sunset. I really wish I had bought my cowboy boots along for this one.

Don’t mind me while sit in the middle of the jungle here, breathing in the fresh sea breeze and eating all the fresh fruit I just found at the market.

Because travel isn’t about just scratching off as many countries as possible, it’s about taking your time to fully embrace each one. Wouldn’t you agree?

Some of the most beautiful places are right on your doorstep. 

Having lived in England for so long I can now safety say that I took for granted want was on my doorstep for a very long time. I also chose to explore far and wide in favor of sunnier and hotter destinations at a much lower latitude. 

Coming back now after almost 10 years of living and prioritizing destinations outside Europe I definitely have a new found appreciation for this. These cobblestone streets, these medieval buildings steeped in history and tales of murder and some of the most amazing examples of Gothic architecture in the world. 

My blog post ‘A Perfect Canterbury day trip from London’ is now live on the blog. It’s my first piece on England since 2019. 
Canterbury is under 2 hours from London and if you’ve yet to go then, seriously, don’t wait any longer. 

You don’t have to travel far to find the most beautiful of places.

Hitting the street for breakfast has plenty of benefits:

-Discover new breakfast foods from different cultures around the world. 

- For healthy eating, you can head to a cafe with healthy options and not have to be faced with nothing but a cheap slice of bread

- You can see the city wake up. This is often the best time to be out anyway with fewer crowds and great light. 

- You contribute a little more to the local economy and local independent cafes, street spots and individual business owners. 💜

- If you're plant-based you'll know how limiting the average hotel breakfast can be so it's better to head to a vegan-friendly cafe instead. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Where do you prefer eating breakfast when travelling? Are you team hotel or team cafe?

Hotel breakfast or skip the hotel breakfast? ☕️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don't know about you guys but recently I've been getting into the habit of skipping the less-than-average hotel breakfast and heading out for more local options when travelling. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Of course, hotel breakfasts are super convenient and when in an amazing resort that supplies quality, healthy food I'll always go for that. But recently I've found that in your average hotel the breakfasts are also average and I'm not prepared to waste one of my meal times on average food. 😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hitting the street for breakfast has plenty of benefits: -Discover new breakfast foods from different cultures around the world. - For healthy eating, you can head to a cafe with healthy options and not have to be faced with nothing but a cheap slice of bread - You can see the city wake up.

Memories from California ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's been so nice having more time over the last month to look through and revisit all the photos from some really memorable trips to California, I've been sitting on for a while now. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's one of my favourite shots from Pioneertown, a place I had no idea about until 3 hours before we rocked up right in time for sunset. I really wish I had bought my cowboy boots along for this one.

Don’t mind me while sit in the middle of the jungle here, breathing in the fresh sea breeze and eating all the fresh fruit I just found at the market.

Because travel isn’t about just scratching off as many countries as possible, it’s about taking your time to fully embrace each one. Wouldn’t you agree?

After a whole month in London focused purely on work, writing and completing various projects I’m finally back in the travel game and heading to my first European destination in almost 3 years. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make sure to follow along on stories for the next few days for charming medieval castles, gothic churches, healthy food finds and more as I navigate a city and country I haven’t been to back to in 12 years. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Oh and ain’t California pretty!? 🥰

Wanna know a really amazing way to feel refreshed, calm the mind, connect with yourself and the natural environment and promote general wellness? Something that's free too?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
GET OUTSIDE. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whatever you do this weekend, make sure to take a break from the screen, get some Vitamin D, get outside into nature and just play. Let the natural world feed your soul ✨🌿

Some of the most beautiful places are right on your doorstep. 

Having lived in England for so long I can now safety say that I took for granted want was on my doorstep for a very long time. I also chose to explore far and wide in favor of sunnier and hotter destinations at a much lower latitude. 

Coming back now after almost 10 years of living and prioritizing destinations outside Europe I definitely have a new found appreciation for this. These cobblestone streets, these medieval buildings steeped in history and tales of murder and some of the most amazing examples of Gothic architecture in the world. 

My blog post ‘A Perfect Canterbury day trip from London’ is now live on the blog. It’s my first piece on England since 2019. 
Canterbury is under 2 hours from London and if you’ve yet to go then, seriously, don’t wait any longer. 

You don’t have to travel far to find the most beautiful of places.
