Oral vs Topical Application of CBD: Tinctures, Capsules, Isolates, Salves and Roller Balms!
Ways To Use CBD
There are many ways to consume cannabidiol, or CBD, which is a well-known compound in cannabis. CBD oil can be administered sublingually, eaten, drank, inhaled or applied topically to the skin.
Sublingual use requires placing the CBD oil under your tongue for 30-60 seconds to allow the CBD to enter your bloodstream directly through absorption of the mucus membranes. When you swallow CBD, it will have to go through your digestive system and liver before it enters your bloodstream. Topical CBD typically does not reach your bloodstream and instead, it directly reacts with the cannabinoid receptors on the skin in the area where it is applied.
Orally Consumed CBD
Tinctures
Fully Activated Full Spectrum CBD Oil contains a trace amount of THC—(0.3%), which is completely legal, remains non-psychoactive, and provides a full range of cannabinoids and terpenes. Fully Activated Pure CBD Tincture tests at 99%+ CBD and is crafted with removing all the THC.
Capsules
Our CBD Oil is packaged into easy-to-swallow capsules is another effective way to take CBD on the go. Capsules are discreet, fast acting, non-psychoactive, and can be purchased from Fully Activated in a Full Spectrum or Pure CBD form, using the same oils respectively that are found in our CBD tinctures.
CBD Isolate
Fully Activated produces both a slab and powder form of CBD Isolate which can be eaten, put into a capsule, dabbed or mixed into food and drinks. Both forms are 99%+ pure CBD with not THC.
Topically Applied CBD
When CBD is applied to the skin, the cannabinoids that are present are directly absorbed into the affected area. The CBD is concentrated on that part of the body, which means a faster and more focused onset of effects.
Salves
All of Fully Activated's topical CBD products are handmade by using a combination of carefully selected, organic herbs and oils. Our Full Spectrum CBD Salve can be used anywhere on the skin and hair, and it also works as a gently-scented massage cream.
Roller Balm
Combining CBD with other calming ingredients like lavender, shea butter and vitamin E in our Full Spectrum CBD Roller is a perfect applicator for wrists, feet and ankles. Available in lavender, tea tree, and peppermint, this could be a great choice for a runner or yogi. Apply this soothing balm on your tired joints after a workout or a long day at the office.
