CBD is commonly used among more and more elderly people who use it in addition to or as an alternative to traditional therapeutic treatment.

Indeed, CBD acts as a homeostatic regulator and thus supports the way the body balances the different biological systems. Respecting this balance is essential for the body to enable it to actively fight against the fluctuations linked to the physical and mental health of the individual.

sublingual cbd

The desired number of drops of CBD oil should be placed  under the tongue 30 to 120 seconds  before swallowing, allowing the active compounds of  Cannabidiol (CBD)  to be  absorbed through the oral mucous membranes. Same thing for CBD pastes with the difference that you have to rub the paste against the gums.

A fast, safe and healthy process that results in fast and effective effects.

The other major advantage is the speed of action. The  first effects  of Cannabidiol are felt  5 to 20 minutes  after a sublingual intake of CBD in general and last 2 to 4 hours.
