The effectiveness of using CBD oil for sore throat is not proven by any medical studies, but anecdotal evidence suggests that CBD oil is beneficial for sore throat. Many people who suffered from sore throats consumed CBD oil and they claim that CBD oil is effective. Many studies have found that CBD has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties and hence it might help with sore throats caused by bacterial flu.
In this article, we are explaining how to choose the right CBD oil to effectively manage your sore throat. There are different types of CBD products and without proper knowledge about them, you cannot select the most suitable product.
Forms Of CBD
As we mentioned earlier, understanding the different forms of CBD is very crucial in finding a suitable CBD product for you. Different forms of CBD are full-spectrum CBD products, broad-spectrum CBD products, and CBD isolates.
Full spectrum CBD products have all the components of the hemp plant including all cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, etc. The combined effect of all these compounds is called the entourage effect. The entourage effect is more effective than the effect you get by using pure CBD products. Note that full-spectrum CBD products contain THC in trace amounts.
Broad spectrum CBD products do not contain THC but contain all other components of the hemp plant. They are also effective but not as potent as full-spectrum CBD products. If you often undergo drug tests, then broad-spectrum products can be a good option for you. They offer you a partial entourage effect and do not show positive on a drug test.
CBD isolates contain pure CBD (more than 99%), but they are the least effective among all three types of CBD products.
CBD Dosage For Sore Throat
CBD products are not regulated by the FDA. There are a lot of CBD products available on the market and the FDA doesn’t support using any of these products as medications. CBD is approved as just a general wellness product. Due to this reason, we cannot provide you with a dose you can use for sore throat.
Consume a dose between 25 mg and 175 mg of CBD per day for managing your flu symptoms like a sore throat. Start with 25 mg/day and if it seems ineffective, increase the dosage until you find an effective dosage. You might not worry about CBD overdose as even higher doses like 1500 mg/ day can be tolerated by the body.
