How do I Take CBD Oil Under the Tongue?

There are many benefits for people who take CBD oil, whether they do this sublingually (under the tongue), via vaping, edibles, or through oil tinctures. Regular CBD consumption works with the endocannabinoid system, helping to relieve chronic pain, regulate sleep, and relieve a variety of medical conditions.

Administering CBD oil under the tongue is a very straightforward process. Use the dropper that comes with the CBD oil to place a few drops of the liquid beneath your tongue. Hold the oil under the tongue for a minute or two. This ensures that the oil is absorbed via your sublingual tissues and into your bloodstream. It’s safe to swallow any excess oil that is left behind.

Some users who take CBD oil sublingually will swish the oil around their mouths before swallowing what’s left in their mouths. This is a perfect way to distribute the remaining oil into your cheek tissues and gums. CBD is absorbed via the cheek and gum tissues in a similar way as underneath the tongue. Therefore, swilling the liquid will ensure that as much CBD as possible is absorbed by your body every time you take it sublingually.

Although this is not essential, it increases the contact between CBD oil and the capillaries within your mouth.

What is the Best Carrier Oil for Taking CBD Under the Tongue?

By itself, pure CBD oil is easily absorbed by the human body. However, the absorption rates can be improved following the carrier oil that is mixed in with the CBD.
There are three popular carrier oils on the current market:

Hemp Seed Oil

Hemp seed oil is a product obtained by cold-pressing hemp seeds; it contains a perfect 3:1 essential fatty acids ratio and has a slightly nutty flavor. This makes it a tolerable carrier oil for taking CBD oil sublingually.

Olive Oil

Olive oil is a healthy and efficient carrier oil. Popular in cooking, many people use it to make pasta or drizzle it over bread. Olive oil contains long-chain triglycerides, giving it a high bioavailability, and making it a perfect companion to CBD.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is an MCT oil which has been acknowledged for the wealth of health benefits that it boasts. It’s a perfect carrier oil for anyone suffering from heart conditions due to its high lipid content.

How Much CBD Oil Should I Administer Under the Tongue?

This is a popular question. Unfortunately, there is no perfect answer. There is no official recommended dosage as CBD is a relatively new supplement and is still undergoing extensive research. Therefore, you should treat CBD as you would any new substance. Starting with smaller doses, thus avoiding taking a level that may be too much for you as an individual.

Bear in mind that CBD is a very safe supplement, with no reported overdoses and very minimal side effects. Remember that it can take up to 60 minutes for you to feel the effects of sublingual CBD. If you think that those effects are not quite enough for you, you can gradually increase the dose.

If you have friends that take CBD sublingually, never assume that their dosage will be perfect for you. CBD’s effects are different for each individual, we all have a unique physiology, so it’s best to work out a dosage that is perfect for you.

Also, different oils have different potencies. Therefore, if you decide to switch products, please consider the strength. If you switch to an oil that has a higher concentration of CBD lower the dosage and see how you feel. If the concentration is lower, you may want to increase the dosage slightly.

In all instances, be sensible and safe with sublingual CBD administration. For additional information, contact our support team at Enecta, and we will be happy to advise you.
