The CBD experts at Medical Marijuana, Inc. are here to help you maneuver through the abundance of confusing and contradicting information about CBD extract oil, including the connections between CBD extract oil and essential oils. This guide will provide you with tips on what to look for if you are interested in purchasing high-quality and safe CBD oil products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is CBD Extract Oil?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CBD extract oil is a type of essential oil that is extracted from the stalks, seeds, and flowers of hemp plants. Hemp<\/a> plants are the non-intoxicating variety of the Cannabis plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBD extract oil contains all the natural compounds found in a hemp plant, meaning that CBD extract oil<\/a> contains more than 400 chemical compounds that are naturally found in hemp. Once absorbed by the body, these compounds interact with the body\u2019s native systems to encourage wellbeing and support a balanced diet. A CBD oil that contains all of the natural compounds found in hemp is called a full-spectrum CBD oil<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBD extract oil from Medical Marijuana, Inc., including our award-winning Real Scientific Hemp Oil\u00ae(RSHO\u00ae), is sourced from unique varieties of non-GMO, Certified Organic hemp<\/a> that are naturally higher in CBD, or cannabidiol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Used to promote balance and health, you can consume our CBD extract oil in a variety of different ways, including by placing the oil under your tongue, swallowing CBD extract oil, vaping it, and applying it topically onto your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is CBD Extract Oil Federally Legal in the United States?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When some people hear the words \u201chemp\u201d and \u201ccannabis\u201d, they automatically assume the product is illegal and potentially intoxicating. However, CBD extract oil and other CBD products, when made from hemp, are federally legal<\/a> and available to purchase online<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hemp features only a trace amount of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the compound found in marijuana that induces psychoactive and euphoric effects. Therefore, CBD products are not intoxicating<\/a> and completely legal for purchase in the United States and elsewhere around the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the Benefits of CBD Extract Oil?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Extract oils have been used for nearly 6,000 years with the aim of naturally supporting a person\u2019s psychological or physical well being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBD extract oil encourages balance and optimal functioning by supporting the performance of the body\u2019s endocannabinoid system, or ECS<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through interactions with cannabinoid receptors, CBD stimulates the ECS and encourages it to keep an array of functions in balance. Some functions that are kept in balance by the ECS include our immune system response, mood, sleep, and much more. Thousands of studies have explored the potential benefits of CBD extract oil from cannabis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does CBD Extract Oil Differ From Essential Oils?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Essential oil is the name given to any concentrated liquid extracted from the seeds, flowers, stems, roots, leaves, fruits, or other parts of a plant or tree. It retains all the natural compounds, smell, and flavor of its respective plant or tree source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBD extract oil is considered a type of essential oil. CBD extract oil is a quality source of CBD, commonly taken to boost balance in the body by interacting with the endocannabinoid system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are Essential Oils and How Are They Typically Used?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In most cases, however, the phrase \u201cessential oil\u201d refers to oil extracted from plants other than cannabis. Since these other types of essential oils don\u2019t contain CBD, they are not used to encourage balance. Rather, they\u2019re commonly used in aromatherapy, also known as essential oil therapy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aromatherapy is a holistic wellness treatment that involves the individual’s sense of smell and skin absorption. During aromatherapy, essential oils are inhaled into the lungs and absorbed through the skin by using products like diffusers and aromatic spritzers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oftentimes, these other essential oils are diluted with a carrier oil, such as almond oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil. Once diluted with a carrier oil, the essential oils are then infused into other topical products such as bath salts, bath bombs, body oils, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have purchased high-quality essential oils, some of their chemicals are absorbed through the skin when applied topically. Unlike CBD extract oil, many essential oils are not meant to be swallowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CBD<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While much research has been done on CBD extract oil, little is known about the effectiveness of other essential oils. People often use essential oils for their aromatic benefits and as a complementary therapy. However, scientific evidence for these essential oils is considered to be limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with CBD extract oil, the FDA does not regulate essential oils. Historically, fake essential oils have been an issue, so it is important to always buy your extract oil from a reputable and respected manufacturer with a proven track record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the Most Commonly Used Essential Oils for Aromatherapy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is a seemingly endless list of essential oils that can be used for aromatherapy, but below is a list of the essential oils that are most commonly used for aromatherapy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
