One of the bigger questions we get at AHS is, “How long does it take for CBD to take effect?” The answer is luckily fairly simple, depending on the product you take.

For something like our gummies, that can take anywhere between half an hour to forty-five minutes, depending on the person. The gummies go through your digestive system, allowing the CBD to help with potential inflammation in your body as well as anxiety and stress. This is usually a go-to for CBD consumption because of how easy it is to ingest and how easy it is to carry around.

Along with that, we have CBD vapes. This is the fastest way to get CBD into your body. What’s so great about these vapes is the do not cause popcorn lung in anyone who uses it, which makes it a better alternative to cigarettes and other vapes alike. Like regular vapes, they also come in many different flavors. They don’t give you that feeling of intoxication either, with any CBD product in out store, everything with any form of THC is within the legal limits (0.03%). So you don’t get that “high” feeling, but will feel more relaxed and clearer headed over all. These are a good way to quickly get CBD into your system and have a quicker relaxation.

We also have CBD cream that takes about thirty minutes or so to take full effect. This product is used for topical pains such as back pain and skin irritation. The cream can go about four layers into the skin, allowing it to work deep into the tissue, though you should not put this product near your eyes or other sensitive areas on your body. We also have is our CBD patches. These work very similarly to the cream
and can be a good alternative in case you don’t like the creamy feeling on your skin. In addition, the patches can help with fatigue, irritation, and muscle tension.

There are also our tinctures/CBD oil, that can be held under the tongue for thirty seconds to a minute. This allows the CBD to enter the blood stream easier and take effect. While you can put the oil in either food or drinks, it will take most of the efficiency away from the product. Otherwise, the oil stays in your system for longer than most other products, especially if you take it in the morning and at night. This is another popular form of intake due to the CBD to go through the entire body and stay in your body for longer.

If you have any questions about CBD or how it can interact with any medication you may be taking, we have many specialists and a nurse on staff at AHS who can help with whatever you may need.

All types of hyperthyroidism are due to an overproduction of thyroid hormones, but the condition can occur in several ways: Grave’s Disease, toxic adenomas, subacute thyroiditis, pituitary gland malfunctions or cancerous growth in the thyroid glands.  Treatments for thyroid diseases include radiation therapy, antithyroid agents, hormones, thyroid removal, endocrine surgery, partial thyroidectomy, lymph node dissection, or neck dissection.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the plant known for its potential therapeutic effects.  CBD and other cannabinoids interact with the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) to maintain balance.  CBD is useful for people who have thyroid conditions because of the existence of ECS receptors on the thyroid gland itself.  Particularly, the CB1 cannabinoid receptor has been found to influence the regulation of the endocrine system, including the thyroid hormone.  CBD may help to manage the symptoms that are commonly linked to thyroid disorders, including pain, inflammation, anxiety, and depression.

In this way, CBD may be a good option for those who suffer from thyroid disease.  Early research indicated that the consumption of cannabis may influence the endocrine system.  CBD is known for its anti-inflammatory and antidepressant potential and may, therefore, help ease the inflammation and pain associated with thyroid conditions.

To help maintain thyroid related issues, our AHS tinctures would be the best option.  AHS has tinctures that range anywhere from 300mg-3000mg.

Always consult your primary care physician before starting a new treatment.

Our team of specialists are always available to provide you with education and assist you with any questions you may have regarding CBD.
