The CBD market is constantly expanding, which can quickly become difficult to navigate. Wondering which CBD is the most effective? You've come to the right place! Mama will explain everything you need to know before buying the best CBD for you.
Know the different types of CBD
Before you know which CBD is most effective for your needs, you need to be able to understand the distinction between the different kinds of CBD on the market today.
The different types of CBD available differ in :
- Presentation: flowers, oil, candy or cream;
- their cannabidiol percentage: which can range from 5 to 70%;
- manufacturing" conditions (cultivation and harvesting): organic, conventional, indoor or outdoor;
- their origin: European Union, Ireland or other countries;
- their extraction mode: via oil, solvent or supercritical CO2.
All these elements influence the visual appearance of CBD, its taste, but also its potency and therefore its effectiveness. I advise you, especially if you're a novice, to buy your CBD only from reliable sites like Mama Kana, renowned for the quality of their products. To choose the right product, take the time to read the description. You need to understand what it's all about so you can make the best choice for your needs.

How to choose the right CBD?
Now you know the difference between the different types of CBD, but how do you choose the right one? Mama gives you a few tips to help you make the right choice.
There are a few things to bear in mind when making your choice. First of all, you need to make sure that the THC content is well below 0.3% (this is the legal limit in Ireland). You should also check that no prohibited products are included in the composition. This is particularly true of herbal teas, which must contain only plants recognized for their medicinal virtues and CBD.
You should also pay attention to the CBD concentration. It can range from 2% or 3% to 98%, depending on the type of product. If you're just starting out in the world of CBD, I strongly advise you to start with low levels. Even if you want to feel the effects more quickly, the higher the concentration, the more different the sensation. The best thing is to start small.
Finally, when you receive your product (always choose a reputable, reliable store), check that it's tightly sealed. If it's not, Mama advises you not to use it.
Which CBD for which situation?
As I mentioned, there are different types of CBD. Each type of CBD is better suited, and therefore more effective, in certain situations. Here's a roundup of the most common situations for which CBD is used, and its most suitable form:
- Trouble sleeping: I advise you to take a CBD herbal tea. The combination of medicinal plants and CBD produces a relaxing effect;
- Pain: ideally, CBD should be taken in flower or oil form. Always start with a low dosage and gradually increase if necessary;
-
Migraines : for faster relief, opt for CBD oil. You can place a few drops under your tongue for an almost immediate effect;
- Stress : before going to bed (about 1 hour before), you can take a CBD herbal tea, with chamomile or other calming plants. You can also make an infusion with CBD flowers. If you have a stressful event during the day (oral, interview...) you can take a gummy a little beforehand;
- Skin problems: you can apply a moisturizing or repairing cream, a balm or a CBD-based massage oil.
Mama reminds us, it's advisable to seek the advice of a healthcare professional before taking CBD. Especially if you're already on medication or if there's a possibility you might be pregnant.
