CBD oil derived from hemp, is a popular natural remedy for many ailments. CBD benefits include pain relief and relaxation without any mind-altering effects.

CBD, like all cannabinoids, produces effects in the body by interacting with the endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system controls a wide variety of functions in the human body, such as movement, pain, thinking, emotions, mood, memories, appetite, sleep, pain, and inflammation.

There are 2 types of cannabinoid receptors in the endocannabinoid system, CB1 receptors, and CB2 receptors, which are present throughout the body, but specifically in the central nervous system and immune system. The body produces endocannabinoids, which are neurotransmitters that bind to the CB1 and CB2 receptors. The effects of CBD, including anti-inflammatory and pain relief effects are exerted through its influence on the endocannabinoid system.

No. Arete CBD is not impairing, meaning it does not cause a “high.” Arete CBD is derived from hemp plants.

There are a lot of factors that may determine how many cannabinoids you should take. These factors include your body weight, the condition you are treating, and the method of consumption. Before consuming Arete CBD products, consult your doctor to determine an appropriate dosage.

We recommend treating minor conditions with our moderate strength products (25 mg/mL). Take a half dropper full in the morning and a half dropper full midway through the day. Increase as necessary. For severe conditions, use our ultra-strength products (50 mg/mL) in the same manner. Apply a pea-sized drop of our cream to the area two times daily. Increase as needed.

Store your Arete products in a cool dry place to ensure they stay fresh and effective.

Because CBD causes drowsiness on its own, it also increases the drowsiness caused by other medications, including antihistamines (such as Benadryl), benzodiazepines (Xanax, Ativan, Valium), antipsychotics, antidepressants, and opioids, as well as alcohol and supplements such as kava, melatonin and St. John’s Wort.

CBD's sedating effects are like alcohol, so it's not a good idea to use it if you need to drive or to do anything that requires mental alertness. Other common side effects of CBD include diarrhea and changes in appetite and mood.

Because of its effect on the liver and liver enzymes, CBD can interfere with many medications, either increasing their levels in the blood to potentially toxic levels or decreasing levels and reducing their effectiveness. Certain seizure medications, antidepressants, muscle relaxers, and drugs that can suppress the central nervous system (such as benzodiazepines, sleeping pills and opioids), among many other medications, may have strong interactions.

It’s important to talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using CBD to make sure you’re not taking a medication that will interact badly with it.
