CBD oil’s been big news on the wellbeing scene for a few years now, and we’re here to answer your most-asked questions, from strengths to formulations and everything in between.

What is CBD oil?
Short for cannabidiol, CBD is derived from the cannabis sativa plant, but it’s not the same chemical compound as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is the psychoactive part of the cannabis plant, so you don’t need to worry about getting high.
How do I take CBD oil?
You can get CBD oil in various forms, including drops, sprays and capsules. Which one you use is entirely up to you. Some people prefer a few drops under their tongue, while some prefer to take a capsule or spritz a spray.
Can CBD oil help you sleep?
There’s no evidence that CBD oil can help you get to sleep or sleep better.
What’s the best CBD oil?
CBD oils come in a variety of strengths, so it all depends what you’re looking for. If you’re new to CBD, capsules are a great way of keeping track of exactly how much you’re taking.
Some CBD oils come in different blends with added ingredients like chamomile.
