For most people using CBD oil, it takes some experimentation to determine the right dose. How much you take depends on the potency of the oil. This product does not get produced in a lab so each batch, even with the same strain of plants, can differ. For most people it takes some trial and error before you get it right for you. That being said, here are some tips that should help.

1. Take the oil around about 40 minutes before bed. If the oil is thick and difficult to get out of the bottle, put the bottle into a glass of really hot water and leave it there for a minute.

2. Start off with a very small dose. Imagine one dose is about the size of a rice kernel. If you have high-potency oil (the stronger oil is a darker color) start with a drop that’s the size of one-half a rice kernel.

3. If you are using a dropper, fill the dropper for the dose you need. Then insert the dropper under your tongue and squeeze If your oil is thick put the bottle in a glass of hot water for a few minutes. Once is softens up, put the drop of oil onto the palm of your hand. Take your index finger and swipe the oil off your palm and then rub it under your tongue. Do not swallow. Stomach acids will kill the active healing ingredients in the oil.

4. First time users might immediately feel a moderate level of euphoria which leads to a relaxed body state and a restful night’s sleep. This is nothing to worry about. But for some people the effects of the oil can take up to 3 weeks to kick in – so be patient.

5. As your system adjusts to the oil, the euphoric effects will subside and become almost unnoticeable. The health benefits are numerous for sleep, constipation, stress and anxiety, depression and lots more.

6. After three days of taking a drop that’s the size of a rice kernel, if you are not getting any results, take two drops for the next three days. You can keep increasing the dose in tiny increments. You will know when you have exceeded the amount that’s right for you if you feel a little “vague” and dizzy. All you do is go back to the previous dose After 7 years, I am taking 3 drops before bed for sleeping. I started out with one drop.

7. If you take too much, you might feel dizzy, very tired, or foggy. Nothing bad will happen to you – no one has ever overdosed taking too much CBD oil. Go back to bed or take a shower and go for a walk. But the best idea is to go back to bed.

8. Store the bottle in a cool, dark place. It does not need refrigeration. Shelf life is approximately 3 years.
