How does CBD work?
All humans (in fact, all animals) have a complex network of neurotransmitters and receptors in their bodies called the endocannabinoid system.
Research is still underway, but we do know the endocannabinoid system has a role to play with our mood, sleep, appetite, pain, fertility, and many more aspects of our body and minds.
Cannabidiol (CBD) interacts with the endocannabinoid system and gives us the range of benefits associated with CBD. -
How much CBD should I take and how often?
There is no fixed answer here.
People take CBD for many different reasons. Other factors such as diet, body weight, height, and fitness also play a role.
If you’re taking CBD for the first time or coming back to CBD after a break, it’s always best to start low.
Take 5mg a day for one week and observe the effects. If you feel like you need a stronger dosage, take 10gm a day for one week and again observe. By increasing and decreasing your dosage over an extended period, you will soon find exactly how much is right for you. -
What’s the difference between hemp and marijuana?
Hemp and marijuana are different strains of the cannabis plant. Marijuana contains high amounts of THC, whereas hemp has very little. All of our products contain CBD derived from hemp plants.

Will I pass a drug test if I use Chinese Hemp products?

What is the most effective way to take CBD?
There are many ways of taking CBD, and each method has different advantages depending on why you are using CBD.
The most popular way is sublingual - putting a drop of CBD under your tongue. This is the fasted way to introduce CBD into your system.
If you are suffering from muscle pain, then applying CBD directly to the affected area via a cream or topical can be more effective. -
Is CBD safe? What are the side effects?
CBD is generally thought of as very safe. In rare cases, CBD may cause fatigue or diarrhoea, but these symptoms usually pass very quickly. In these case, cut your dosage in half and monitor the effects.

What are CBD Topicals?
Italian researchers from the University of Milan found CBD to have an effect on controlling inflammation on human skin tissue. Results showed that micrograms (millionth of a gram) of CBD inhibited the skin’s natural inflammatory response to damage. CBD oil contains omega 3 and 6 which are healthy fats which act to moisturise, strengthen, and hydrate the skin for supple, elastic, beautiful and healthy skin.
Traditional Chinese Medicine often included Hemp to treat ulcers, wounds, inflammation and irritations.
