Prof. William Dalton, Ph.D.Compared to other natural medicines, CBD oil provides a relatively fast relief of anxiety consequent. When taken sublingually, the effects can be felt in 15-30 minutes. This is a great asset when needing quick relief during bouts of anxiety. I have timed responses in many patients with uniform results.
Optimal Administration
- Place oil under tongue for 60-90 seconds before swallowing
- Sublingual absorption bypasses digestive slowdown
- Effects begin within 15 minutes peak at 45-60 minutes
- Avoid eating or drinking for 15 minutes after dosing
Dosing Strategy
- Start with 10-15mg per dose during daytime
- Increase gradually by 5mg every three days
- Maximum 30mg per dose without medical supervision
- Split doses morning and evening for consistent coverage
Biochemical Factors
- Liver enzyme variations affect individual processing speed
- Body weight influences optimal dosing requirements
- Prior cannabis exposure may alter sensitivity
- Gut health impacts absorption efficiency
Consistent daily administration provides for cumulative benefits. While single doses provide a benefit instantaneously, the daily use downregulates the anxiety pathways in the brain centers. After a period of weeks, the receptors for serotonin become increasingly sensitive. By this means, most patients report an increase in their baseline calmness after four weeks of consistent use of the morning and evening doses.
The quality of the product has a significant impact on the results. Always select full-spectrum oils that include third-party lab reports. Confirm that the concentration of CBD inside the bottle matches what is stated on the label. Avoid purchasing products with synthetic additives. If stored properly, the oils will maintain their potency. Store the bottles away from heat and light.
Track your symptoms and note the time it takes, as well as the duration of each episode. Jot this down in a journal, done with medication dosing in accordance with symptom relief. As an adjunct to breathing treatments, administer CBD either orally or sublingually during episodes. This layered approach leads to a far more effective means to see to the total syndrome anxiety control.
