Are There Side Effects of CBD Oil?

CBD oil is represented as a 100% natural health remedy that has grown to become pretty popular these days. Regardless of age, race, or gender, research and statistics indicate a significant increase in CBD users, and for good reason, as CBD oil has shown to have a slew of therapeutic benefits with limited side effects. The compound is a legal cannabinoid that doesn’t produce any of the psychoactive effects other cannabinoids.

CBD was declared to be a safe and non-toxic product from the World Health Organization back in 2016. However, though it is considered safe and non-addictive to users, there are some side effects (though incredibly rare) that you should be made aware of before consuming CBD.

In most cases, the reported side effects of CBD oil is a result of low-quality CBD oil or processing and the byproducts produced. But in some cases, it may merely be a result of how the compound reacts with a particular individual. This is one of the reasons why it’s imperative that you research reputable companies and ask your doctors before beginning any new supplement routine, including CBD. 

What Are the Most Typical Side Effects of CBD Oil?

Though rare, there are a few common side effects of consuming CBD oil, but don’t fret; all of them are relatively mild in nature and cause no long-term harm to your body. Here are some of the most common side effects:

Dry Mouth

The most common side effect of CBD oil is dry mouth. Studies indicate that the main reason your mouth is dry from consuming CBD is because of the inhibition of the cannabinoid receptors and saliva production. Though dry mouth can be a common issue with this compound, it’s often the result of CBD oil products with impurities as a result of processing. Ensure you are using CBD oil products that are tested and certified for quality to help avoid this. 

Also, make sure to drink lots of water before and after you take CBD oil. By drinking water, you are also removing the potential risk of getting dehydrated as well, so it’s a win-win.

Low Blood Pressure

Taking high doses of CBD oil has been shown at times to affect your blood pressure. But unlike other compounds (like caffeine) that cause your blood pressure to rise, CBD can (on rare occasions) actually cause a drop in blood pressure. A reduction in blood pressure can result in a temporary feeling of lightheadedness and fatigue and this makes some people feel pretty uncomfortable. The best solution in this instance is to consult your doctor and consider reducing your dosage.

Fatigue

CBD oil affects every individual differently. We can all have different reactions to the foods, drinks, and compounds we put into our bodies. Sometimes, it’s related to an individual’s age, lifestyle, gender, etc. Taking CBD oil can help improve your focus and create a positive feeling and mood. But sometimes, when taken in higher doses, it can cause drowsiness and fatigue. It’s for this reason that many people choose to take their CBD before bed, though there are exceptions.

Products like CaniBrands Cani-Boost line have been uniquely formulated to revive and replenish your energy levels and increase endurance and focus. Whether it’s a boost in the morning, a boost to get you through the workday, or a boost through that last rep in the gym, Cani-Boost provides energy and focus throughout your entire day. Trusted by customers and used by athletes in all different forms, our all-natural oral CBD spray and sublingual CBD oils are easy to use and really work.

Allergic Reactions

As research and studies have continued to indicate, there are numerous therapeutic benefits when taking CBD oil. But as we have touched on earlier in regards to low-quality CBD (oil that is poorly processed and contains byproducts), the quality of the product directly affects how it interacts with a user. For example, a low-quality CBD topical cream may cause an allergic reaction to your skin, in some instances. 

But products like CaniBrands Cani-Mend topical creams are lab tested for purity and quality and are extremely unlikely to have any side effects, including allergic reactions. It’s just another reason why it’s so important to first check the quality of any CBD oil before consuming or applying the product.

What to Do if You Experience Side Effects from CBD Oil

The first and best thing to do if you are experiencing any side effects from CBD is to lower your dosage or stop using the product. If you continue to experience side effects after use, you should consult your doctor or physician and discuss the symptoms you are experiencing. They will have the expertise to tell you whether or not the symptoms you are experiencing are CBD related or not.

In Closing

As we have now touched on in some detail, CBD oil can sometimes have a few rare side effects. However, generally speaking, side effects have been shown to be extremely rare, and often the cause of impurities in low-quality CBD products. On the other end of the spectrum, high-quality CBD has been shown to help many people around the globe with everything from simple pain relief to severe medical problems. And initial studies continue to show that CBD is absolutely safe to use.
