100 CBD Questions Answered

CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound found in the hemp plant. Unlike THC, it’s non-psychoactive, meaning it won’t get you high. People use it for its potential to support relaxation, ease discomfort, and promote overall wellness, making it a popular natural alternative.

CBD and THC are both cannabinoids from cannabis, but they work differently. THC is psychoactive and causes the “high” associated with marijuana, while CBD is non-psychoactive and focuses on calming effects without altering your mind. Our Valley Health CBD is THC-free for peace of mind.

Hemp is a variety of the cannabis plant grown specifically for industrial and wellness purposes. It’s bred to have very low THC levels (under 0.2% in the UK), making it legal and ideal for extracting CBD. It’s sustainable and versatile, too!

CBD stands for cannabidiol, one of over 100 compounds (cannabinoids) in hemp. It’s the star of the show for its potential benefits, and it’s what we pack into every bottle of Valley Health CBD oil.

Absolutely. CBD is extracted directly from the hemp plant, typically using methods like CO2 extraction to keep it pure. At Valley Health, we source ours from UK-grown hemp, ensuring it’s as natural as it gets.

Full spectrum CBD contains all the natural compounds in hemp, like cannabinoids, terpenes, and a tiny bit of THC (under 0.2% in the UK). This mix might enhance effects through the “entourage effect,” where compounds work better together.

Broad spectrum CBD keeps the beneficial hemp compounds—like cannabinoids and terpenes—but removes all THC. It’s a middle ground for those wanting full benefits without any THC exposure.

CBD isolate is pure cannabidiol, refined to remove all other hemp compounds, including THC. It’s ideal if you want just CBD with no extras, though some say it misses the synergy of full or broad spectrum.

No, CBD typically comes from hemp, not marijuana. Hemp has low THC and is legal, while marijuana has higher THC and is regulated differently. Our CBD is hemp-derived from UK farms.

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a network in your body that helps regulate things like mood, sleep, and pain. CBD interacts with it by supporting your natural balance, which is why it feels subtle but effective.

CBD is often mixed with a carrier oil (like our MCT) to improve absorption in your body. Oil also makes it easy to dose precisely with a dropper and keeps the CBD stable longer.

Yes, labs can make synthetic CBD, but it’s less common and lacks the natural profile of plant-derived CBD. We stick to natural CBD from UK hemp for authenticity and quality.

CBD oil contains cannabidiol extracted from hemp flowers and leaves, while hemp oil (or hemp seed oil) is pressed from seeds and has no CBD. Think of hemp oil as a nutritious oil, not a CBD product.

Yes, it’s one of many cannabinoids in hemp, alongside THC, CBG, and others. Cannabinoids interact with your body uniquely, and CBD is prized for its soothing potential.

People turn to CBD for natural support with stress, physical discomfort, sleep troubles, or just to feel more balanced. Its versatility and gentle approach have made it a wellness favorite.

Place a few drops under your tongue, hold for 30-60 seconds, then swallow. This sublingual method lets CBD absorb quickly through the blood vessels in your mouth for faster effects.

It varies by person, but start low—like 20mg (1 drop of our 4000mg oil) daily. Increase gradually over a week or two if needed. Your weight, goals, and sensitivity play a role, so listen to your body.

Not in a dangerous way. Very high doses (hundreds of mg) might make you drowsy or upset your stomach, but CBD has no known lethal dose. Stick to reasonable amounts for safety.

Most people take it once or twice daily—morning, evening, or both—depending on what they’re aiming for. Consistency helps, so find a routine that suits you.

It’s up to you! Morning doses might boost focus, while evening doses can aid relaxation or sleep. Try different times to see what feels best for your lifestyle.

Our 10ml 4000mg bottle has about 200 drops. At 2 drops daily (40mg), it lasts roughly 2 weeks. Higher doses mean shorter use, so plan accordingly.

Not our oil—it’s made for oral use. Vaping requires thinner, specially formulated CBD liquids to avoid damaging devices or your lungs. Stick to vape-specific products.

Keep it in a cool, dark place, like a cupboard, to preserve potency. Our UV-protective glass bottles add extra protection from sunlight, which can break CBD down over time.

Yes, it typically lasts 1-2 years if stored properly. Check the expiration date on our label—after that, it might lose strength or taste off, though it’s not harmful.

Sure, swallow it with water after holding it under your tongue. Water won’t affect the CBD, but the sublingual step is key for quick absorption.

The dropper lets you measure exact doses. In our 4000mg oil, each drop is about 20mg, so you can easily control how much you take—no guesswork needed.

It’s not the best use—oral oils like ours aren’t formulated for skin. For topical relief, choose creams or balms designed to penetrate skin effectively.

Taken under the tongue, CBD can kick in within 15-45 minutes, depending on your metabolism and dose. Food delays it to 1-2 hours, so method matters.

Yes, as long as THC is under 0.2%. Our Valley Health CBD is THC-free, fully compliant with UK laws, and sourced from regulated UK hemp farms.

Our THC-free oil shouldn’t trigger a test. Full spectrum CBD with trace THC could, though, so choose THC-free if you’re tested regularly.

No, the World Health Organization says CBD has no addiction potential. It’s a non-habit-forming option for wellness support.

Only under medical supervision, like for epilepsy (e.g., Epidiolex). For general use, it’s not recommended for kids—stick to adult wellness needs.

Yes, with pet-specific products at lower doses. Don’t give pets our human CBD oil—the potency and flavorings aren’t right for them.

It might, especially with drugs processed by the liver (like blood thinners). CBD can slow their breakdown, so ask your doctor if you’re on prescriptions.

There’s not enough research to say yes, so experts advise against it during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Better safe than sorry—wait it out.

Rare and mild: dry mouth, slight drowsiness, or lightheadedness. They usually fade fast, and lower doses can help avoid them altogether.

In the UK, yes—products must have THC below 0.2% and meet safety standards. We test every batch to ensure quality and compliance.

Within the UK or EU, yes, if it’s THC-free like ours. Internationally, check local laws—some countries ban CBD entirely, so research ahead.

Research shows CBD has anti-inflammatory potential, which might help with swelling or soreness. It’s a natural approach to calming the body.

Yes, it’s proven—CBD (like in Epidiolex) is approved for certain seizures. It’s one of its strongest medical uses, backed by science.

Early studies hint it might lift mood by affecting serotonin, but it’s not a cure. It could complement other depression strategies—talk to a pro.

Some find it reduces migraine frequency or intensity, possibly by easing tension. It’s not guaranteed, but a popular anecdotal fix.

Topical CBD might calm acne, redness, or dryness thanks to its soothing properties. Our oil isn’t for skin, but CBD skincare is growing.

Yes, it’s a top reason people use it—CBD can dial down the “fight or flight” feeling, helping you relax naturally.
