What is CBD?

CBD is a cannabinoid (chemical compound) in hemp and cannabis (marijuana). It’s an increasingly well-known remedy for a broad range of therapeutic effects. CBD comes in a variety of forms, including oils, capsules, gummies, vaping, and many others. 

The most common way to take CBD is sublingually, placing a few drops under your tongue and holding it there. This method of administration is very effective because it quickly enters your bloodstream through the many tiny capillaries in that area. 

When might I need CBD?

Prescription CBD oil is FDA-approved for the treatment of seizures. Many people have discovered that CBD oil has a number of other uses as well, including:

• Chronic pain
• Migraines
• Autoimmune diseases
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Opioid addiction (substance use disorder)
• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) symptoms
• Diabetes complications
• Parkinson’s disease
• Multiple sclerosis
• Alzheimer’s disease
• Arthritis

There are many other ways in which CBD could help you improve your health as well. Overall, it’s a safe non-medication way to help manage many chronic conditions while preventing complications. 

Does CBD get you high?

No, CBD doesn’t produce the high that marijuana does. CBD is different from tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a psychoactive compound in marijuana. While psychoactive compounds get you high, CBD provides benefits without the high. 

How can I get CBD?

Dr. Scott offers high-quality CBD products in the office. While you can buy CBD in many places, including gas stations, drugstores, and the internet, it’s important to know that those products aren’t strictly regulated. So, buying CBD from an unknown source might mean you get a poor-quality product with an unknown amount of CBD in it.

Dr. Scott only recommends the best CBD products from trustworthy companies. These CBD products are carefully produced using strict guidelines, ensuring reliable results. Dr. Scott recommends the ideal dosage and delivery method based on your condition and goals.

In many cases, CBD is one part of a whole-body wellness plan, so Dr. Scott ensures that your CBD works well alongside any other treatments or medications you may need.
