The CBD crystals can be used in different ways. It is a crystalline powder that can be white or slightly yellow, it resembles white sugar or brown sugar both for the color and the consistency. Like the sugar it can be ingested, however, it is not the only way to use it.
Here are three simple and efficient ways to intake pure CBD:
- Through inhalation, using a vaporizer: is amongst the best ways of use. Using a herb vaporizer allows you to avoid combustion, which as well as damaging our health, burns, and wastes more than 80% of the active principle of any type of cannabinoid we decide to use. Furthermore, vaporization allows to adjust the temperature and magnifies, and strengthens the properties of the cannabidiol (CBD), and generally, all the other cannabinoids where present.
What properties the vaporizer must-have?
1) It must have the possibility of setting up a specific temperature, between 160 C˚ and 180 C˚.
2) It must be suitable to containing also liquids: the crystals, once they reach the temperature between 160/180 C˚, melt, such as the sugar crystals at high temperature, forming an oily liquid.
- At the table: The CBD crystals can be added to coffee, tea, but also to cake, pizza, or cookies mixtures or even as a seasoning together with salt and pepper. The taste of our dishes won’t be altered in any way, but in return, during the digestion, we will benefit from the pleasant effects of the active principle, just like in the case of the CBD oil.
- Orally, sublingual intake: is the easiest and most direct way to intake the CBD crystals, they can be drawn with the measuring teaspoon and placed directly under the tongue. It will be necessary to wait about a minute to let the crystals completely melt. Alternatively, it is possible to melt them with a little water. The neutral taste of the crystals will make it easier to intake and it is within everyone’s reach. Besides, once it will reach contact with the tongue, the CBD will circulate in our system almost immediately, with a very rapid action timeframe.
- Local application, by adding it as an ingredient to creams or ointments. The hemp plant has been used, for quite some time now, in the cosmetics field with amazing results:
There are a lot of cannabidiol based products and they can be: - creams
- conditioners
- aftersun creams
The CBD is not the main ingredient in many of these cases, but it is simply aimed to integrate the spectrum of components of the cosmetic product. The proven anti-inflammatory properties of the cannabidiol (CBD), act directly on the endocannabinoid system and more specifically on the CB1 and CB2 receptors, to mitigate the skin’s inflammation and at the same time act beneficially on our skin.
