Pain is a tricky thing for many people to manage on a regular basis, largely because it’s difficult to predict and it can be perceived in different ways at different times. More and more, people are turning away from standard medications toward more natural relief.
Many have opted for CBD to help them not only because it helps them become more attuned with the pain, but it also alleviates the worst effects of it. Capsules have become a popular method for CBD ingestion because it allows people to control the dosage and ensure that they’re taking the ingredients they want to take. We’ll look at how it works so you can have the best experience with them.
How Many Milligrams of CBD Should I Take for Pain?
There are no official dosage recommendations for people taking CBD. Those that you’ll see out there are guidelines only. This is one of the things that has made people hesitant to take CBD for pain: because they’re afraid that they won’t take the right amount.
As a precaution, we recommend taking a low dose at first to see how you react to it. Start with 5 – 10 mgs and see how you feel, but be prepared to try a few different experiments. If you experience pain throughout the day, you can take small doses up to three times per 24-hour period.
Just keep in mind this is a process. Because you have to ingest the capsule (and thus digest it to feel anything), finding the right amount for you might take some time.
What Kinds of CBD Capsules Are Available?
There are a number of capsules available, ranging in size and dosage. Many start at 25 mg, which isn’t necessarily an invitation to take more. There’s no way to overdose on CBD, but too much can cause unanticipated side effects for some people.
Capsules let you control exactly how much you’re taking for pain, which can give you as much data as possible when you’re trying to decide what’s right for you. Plus, it won’t hurt your lungs in the same way that smoking (and to a lesser extent, vaping) might.
Just make sure that you’re reading the ingredients on the back of the label and buying CBD capsules for pain from a reputable place. Reviews can also tell you a lot about why people take CBD, how much they take, and how different kinds of people react to it. Anything from your gender to your dinner choices might influence your experience, so it’s important to take notes at the beginning.
How Do CBD Capsules For Pain Work?
The truth is that even the smartest people in the room are still trying to figure that out themselves. One leading theory though is that CBD has a way of bringing the body back into a more favorable balance. When you’re in pain, it’s because a system of the body isn’t working the way it should.
If CBD can give that system a boost, it helps your body do what it always should have been doing in the first place — protecting you.
