Hello and welcome to Fallon Wellness Pharmacy!
I’m Erika Fallon, owner and pharmacist here at our pharmacy, and today I’m excited to talk to you about the different types of CBD products available and their potential uses.
First, let’s talk about what CBD is. CBD, or cannabidiol, is a compound found in the cannabis plant that is believed to have therapeutic properties. Unlike THC, another compound found in cannabis, CBD does not produce a “high” and is not considered psychoactive.
Now, let’s discuss the various types of CBD products that are available:
- Creams and ointments – These are topical products that can be applied directly to the skin. They are often used for localized pain relief, such as sore muscles or joints.
- Capsules – CBD capsules are taken orally and can provide a convenient way to consume CBD. They are often used for general wellness or to support a healthy lifestyle.
- Sublingual oils – These oils are placed under the tongue and are absorbed into the bloodstream through the mucous membranes in the mouth. Sublingual oils are often used for quick relief and may be helpful for anxiety or stress.
- Gummies – CBD gummies are a tasty and discreet way to consume CBD. They are often used for general wellness or to support a healthy lifestyle.
It is important to note that CBD is not a cure-all and there is some scientific evidence to support its use for certain conditions. Here are some potential uses for CBD that have been studied, including:
- Anxiety and depression – Some studies have suggested that CBD may have anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) and antidepressant effects.
- Pain relief – CBD may help to reduce pain and inflammation, making it a potential option for those with chronic pain conditions.
- Sleep – Some studies have suggested that CBD may have a sedative effect, which could be helpful for those with sleep disorders.
- Neurological disorders – There is some evidence to suggest that CBD may be helpful for certain neurological disorders, such as epilepsy and multiple sclerosis.
It is important to note that these uses are not FDA-approved and more research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits and risks of CBD. As a pharmacist, I always recommend speaking with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement or medication, including CBD.
