It’s a fact that CBD is revolutionizing the market. More and more products made with this component of the endocannabinoid system are appearing. As we have mentioned on several occasions, CBD has many beneficial properties for both the human body and animals. Continuously, new studies are emerging that confirm the effectiveness of consuming it in its various forms.
Oil is one of the most demanded products and therefore, the one currently most used to help treat health problems, such as chronic pain; it’s a powerful analgesic and anti-inflammatory. However, its price in the market can be high depending on the concentration of CBD in the oil, making it unaffordable for many people. Therefore, we will explain to you how to make CBD oil in an easy and fast way.
How to make CBD Oil
Freshly harvested marijuana with a high content of Cannabidiol has a higher percentage of terpenes and flavonoids, the two compounds most associated with CBD, which intensify its odor and flavor. This is the perfect moment to start the oil extraction process.

What you’ll need:
- CBD flowers.
- Virgin olive oil.
- Container.
- Pot.
- Filter.
The preparation process is very simple and doesn’t require much time.
- In the pot, add the olive oil.
- Take the bud and grind it, then add it to the pot along with the oil. Place the pot over low heat. It’s important to control the temperature and avoid boiling.
- Let it cook for approximately one hour. Once this time is up, remove it from the heat and strain. For this, you’ll need the filter (it can be a coffee filter) and strain it into the container.
- Next, let it rest for several hours, and once it reaches an appropriate temperature, you can pour the oil into small glass jars to preserve its essence.
As advice, we recommend that when the oil is still hot, use a filter or a very fine strainer so that all the plant matter remains in them while straining.
How to use CBD Oil
The oil can be used in various ways, although its topical use is one of the most common for people seeking the benefits of CBD for pain relief. Accordingly, we list some important steps to make its application more efficient:
- Choose the right product: it is recommended to look for products specifically designed to be applied to the skin, such as creams, balms, lotions, or CBD oils. These products are usually formulated to enhance the absorption of CBD by the skin.
- Perform a patch test: before applying the CBD product extensively, it is advisable to perform a patch test on a small area of the skin. Apply a small amount and wait 24 hours to see if there is any adverse reaction.
- Cleanse the application area: wash the skin area where the CBD oil will be applied with water and soap. Gently dry with a towel. This will help remove any dirt or oil that may block the absorption of CBD.
- Apply the CBD oil: take a small amount of CBD oil or the topical product and apply it directly to the skin in the desired area. Use gentle circular motions to massage the product into the skin until it is completely absorbed.
- Dosage: the appropriate amount of CBD oil can vary depending on the product’s concentration and the condition being treated. Start with a small amount and gradually increase as needed, paying attention to how your body reacts.
- Frequency of use: the frequency can vary. Some people apply it once or twice a day, while others use it as needed to relieve pain or skin irritation.
- Observe the effects: pay attention to how the body responds to CBD treatment. It may take some time to notice the benefits, especially for chronic skin conditions or pain.
Considerations when using CBD Oil
It’s important to remember that, although CBD is generally considered safe, it’s always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment, especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions or are undergoing any traditional medical treatments.
Many types of oils available in stores have different CBD concentrations, so each one may require more or less dosage. It also depends a lot on the individual consuming it and their discomforts.
CBD Oil for massages
CBD oil has become a popular and highly valued component in the world of massages, thanks to its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and relaxing properties. When used in massages, it not only enhances the experience of deep relaxation but can also provide specific relief to areas of tension and pain. When applied directly to the skin, CBD interacts with the local receptors of the endocannabinoid system, which can reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and decrease anxiety, enhancing the therapeutic benefits of the massage. Furthermore, CBD oil can help improve skin elasticity, making it feel softer and rejuvenated. With its ability to harmonize and enhance the relaxing effects of massage, CBD oil proves to be an ideal complement for those seeking deeper relief and a comprehensive sense of well-being.
Benefits of CBD Oil
It’s associated with being a cannabis component that contributes to relaxation, as it contains very low levels of THC. Its main benefits when consumed are:
- Anxiety relief: it has an antidepressant and relaxing effect.
- Pain relief: it’s a great ally against chronic pain as it helps alleviate it, allowing the person to lead a better quality of life.
- Anti-inflammatory: one of the best benefits of CBD oil is that it has components that help improve digestion.
- Improves insomnia: many people suffer from chronic insomnia, so it’s very helpful in combating it. Most people use it at night before going to bed, although it can be used during the day to treat other types of sleep disorders.
- Helps fight cardiovascular diseases: one of its best benefits as it helps reduce blood pressure and thus prevents heart attacks.
- Analgesic: many people use CBD oil to treat muscle pain. This is a much more natural alternative and therefore does not produce toxic and harmful side effects for the body.
The extraction of CBD into oil is an easy procedure that everyone can do at home. It can be done in the kitchen or in a place adapted for it, and it doesn’t require many ingredients. Making oil for personal consumption and enjoying its benefits and properties is a fantastic idea to carry out. However, if you don’t have enough time for its preparation, you can buy it directly from our CBD shop.
