CBD Dosage Mg – How Much CBD Oil Should I Take?


CBD Dosage Measurement

When calculating the correct cbd dosage for an individual, a number of things have to be taken into account. Everyone is different. The reasons to take CBD in the first place vary massively and can be related to either physical, mental, or even financial issues.

The dosage is usually set around the dropper size, or indeed the number and volume of the CBD capsules or even chewies that you may be taking. In the case of sublingual (under the tongue) CBD application.

1 dropper normally equals 1 ml in a 10ml bottle, and each dropper typically holds around 20 drops of CBD oil – though the dropper size can vary especially with the larger bottles.

It also depends on whether it is full spectrum CBD or CBD Isolate – though most of the cbd hemp oil available is usually full spectrum.

This is all compounded by the fact that a lot of the CBD products themselves are not exactly clear as to what it is you are actually buying.

For instance the title of this article is ‘CBD Dosage mg’ However cbd can be promoted by mg’s, ml’s or by percentage CBD by volume.

CBD can also be taken in many forms, for external and internal application such as cbd gummies, capsules, oil, rubs, vaped, or mouth spray – to name a few.

It is complicated to say the least. I may well purchase cbd softgel capsules that have 10mg or 25mg of CBD content (as in the case of cbdpure softgels above) This is excellent, but make sure the content says ‘cannabidiol’ (as in cbdpure)  and not ‘cannabinoids’  as this is an entirely different matter. There are over 100 cannabinoids included within full spectrum cbd hemp oil.

Does this make it a bad product? Indeed no – but more clarity regarding the actual percentage of CBD within would make the dosage decision that bit easier to calculate.

However now that has been ‘clarified’ I can give some suggestions for the cbd dosage/application  for a few different ailments listed below.

These are VERY rough rule-of-thumb measurements and we can only advise proper medical advice is sought before embarking on any product taken for medical reasons especially on an on-going basis.

These are suggested dosages only, for an adult off average weight and whose medical condition is not severe in scale.

It should also be noted that CBD is not usually a ‘forever’ remedy, but instead it will often fix the problem permanently after taking for a period of time (this depends on the circumstances), without having to budget for a lifetimes supply of cbd which can be expensive!

CBD Dosage For Pain

Taking CBD for pain relief is more common amongst those suffering from long-standing medical pain such as that brought on by MS or Arthritis for instance – rather than the pain brought on by an accident.

CBD oil is hardly likely to relieve the pain brought about by a hammer blow to the thumb!

For the relief of nerve pain which is common amongst sufferers of MS for example, then 3-6 drops  twice per day increasing to 3 times daily if need be.

CBD Oil In Ear or Ears

This can be measured in drops and depends on whether or not the individual is using the cbd oil for pain, or to soften ear wax and ease sounds related to tinnitus for example.

In fact CBD oil for tinnitus is an option many tinnitus sufferers are finding effective. Either way 2-3 drops directly into the ear 3 times per day until the symptoms ease.

CBD Mg Dosage For Anxiety

The cbd dosage needed for anxiety again depends largely on the individual and the root cause of the anxiety problem. However 3-4 drops placed under the tongue twice per day seems to be effective for most sufferers of anxiety. More on CBD for anxiety here

CBD For Epilepsy

The cbd suggested dosage for epilepsy 6 – 8 drops placed under the tongue 3 times per day depending on severity.

CBD Dosage For Inflammation

Depending on the severity of the inflamed part as well as the application of the cbd, then a dose of 1/2 teaspoon cbd oil twice per day taken orally.

If used as a salve or ointment externally,  then gently rub into the inflamed part 3 times per day. CBD for arthritis is just one example of the way that CBD or hemp oil can be used to fight inflammation of the joints.

CBD Diabetes Treatment

The hemp oil dosage for type 2 diabetes is similar to that for MS, 3-6 drops twice per day. Read this article for more information on CBD oil for diabetes.

CBD Hemp Oil For IBS

IBS or irritable bowel syndrome, is another ailment that can be treated with CBD with great effect. In this particular case CBD oil or suppositories are often used very effectively.  Dosage of Hemp oil for IBS  is 1/2 dropper twice per day or CBD suppositories as per manufacturers instructions.

How To Take CBD Oil

As mentioned earlier there are many ways to apply cbd oil. It can be taken by orally in the form of cbd gummies, oils or mouth sprays.

When the oil is taken by mouth it is recommended to either rub the cbd oil directly onto the gum, or to place the oil under the tongue and leave it there for at least 60 seconds or so before swallowing. CBD Capsules should be swallowed directly with a full glass of water.

The hemp oil can also be applied direct to the skin in the form of creams or salves, where it will penetrate the skin and enter the blood stream in this way.

CBD can also be vaped in electronic cigarettes using cbd tinctures. This is perhaps the most effective way as it enters the blood stream direct through the lungs, thereby bypassing the gut where a large percentage is lost in the digestive system.

CBD suppositories are an obvious choice for treating IBS or Crohn’s disease, as the cbd oil acts directly with the affected area and is also able to penetrate the thin membrane of the colon. A win-win situation for many irritable bowel sufferers.

CBD Oil Legal Status

CBD oil as long as it is sold as a food supplement and has less than 0.3% THC content (0.2% in Europe), is legal to sell in the united kingdom and Europe as well as the USA. This applies to hemp-based CBD products from the hemp plant.

Marijuana-derived cbd products on the other hand are a whole different ball game as they are judged as being a by-product of marijuana and therefore illegal in many states (not all) and many countries globally.

To clarify a little further. Marijuana and Hemp are often spoken about in a joint context. The truth is that they are both of the same genus cannabis but the plants and the processes of cultivation & extraction  are different. In a nut-shell Marijuana is high in THC (around 30%) and low in CBD.

Hemp seed oil (produced from the stalk and seeds of the plant) is low in THC (0.03%) therefore LEGAL, and low in CBD – until now! Hemp plants are now being cultivated that have a high CBD content in the flower buds which can then be added to either hemp seed oil or olive oil to produce high CBD content hemp oil.

Cbd Dosage Summary

As has been said before, the CBD mg dosage required varies widely depending on the circumstances of the individual concerned. This is not a cope-out, it is just fact.

Therefore, for any serious illness it is always recommended the professional medical help is sought before any course of ‘medication’ is taken.

Legal cbd oil for sale over the counter is presently sold as a ‘food supplement’ and so no definitive medical claims can be made as to its efficacy in this regard. Also the THC content of the hemp oil must be less than 0.3% (o.2% Europe) in order for it to be sold legally at all.

Further discussion regarding the confusion between hemp oil and CBD oil can be found on this highlighted page.

If you are new to the concept of taking CBD oil or suppliments then a good ‘all-round’ hemp oil to begin with could be CBDPure. This is NOT the strongest CBD available, but nevertheless is a full spectrum oil that has all the qualities of CBD and hemp seed oil combined.
