How do you take CBD oils and tinctures?

CBD oils and tinctures are taken sublingually, or under the tongue. It absorbs through mucous membranes straight into the bloodstream and bypasses the digestive process.

CBD oils can be dropped into the mouth and swallowed. Note that it can take 1 to 2 hours for an oil to take effect when you ingest it this way because it has to work its way through the digestive system.

Depending on the carrier oil, some CBD oils can even be used topically, or applied directly to the skin. However, CBD products designed specifically for topical use tend to be better used for on-the-spot relief rather than full-body effects.
