CBD vaporization – what are the benefits?
CBD vaporization – why? Vaporizing CBD herbs using modern devices is definitely a healthier alternative to traditional smoking. Years of research into the harmful effects of smoking have come up with a clear answer. Tar in smoke contributes to the formation and development of neoplasms. Smoking is not only a pleasure that we often don’t want to deny ourselves. It is often needed to relieve pain or stop the development of a disease such as epilepsy. That is why ways of using active substances without harmful smoke have been invented.
What is CBD vaporization?
Vaporization means the evaporation of active substances contained in herbs and herbs. After heating dried CBD or the herbs in a vaporizer to the evaporation temperature, they release valuable active substances and are immediately delivered to the body through the respiratory tract. The vaporization process does not produce smoke, but aromatic steam, no harmful substances. Smokeless inhalation with cannabinoid (CBD) steam has many beneficial properties.
How is CBD vaporizing different from smoking?
Burning plant material creates smoke. After the plant material is set on fire, smoke is produced, containing tar that is very hazardous to health. In addition to tar substances, there is also carbon dioxide, which makes our body hypoxic. These tar hypoxias are often misinterpreted as negative aspects of cannabis. Vaporizer users don’t experience as much smoke fatigue.
CBD vaporization allows us to take advantage of pro-health activities, without taking substances that damage our health. It doesn’t have to be this way, we don’t have to overpay with our health these short moments of relaxation. Vaporizers do not produce toxic smoke, but <strong> vapor that does not contain harmful products of combustion </strong>. According to research carried out in 2007, a group of people using vaporizers delivered up to 95% fewer toxins to the body than the same group of smokers using traditional methods. Using a vaporizer is a healthy alternative to traditional smoking. <br> in these descriptions. You could add more research or describe something more precisely because in the beginning there are these things too
CBD action
Dried CBD with a THC content below 0.2% is legal in Poland. Traces of THC do not have any psychoactive effects. In turn, naturally occurring CBD has valuable properties and beneficial effects for the body. Numerous studies have shown that cannabidiol has a positive effect on many processes in the body: it improves mood, regulates metabolism, reduces pain, improves immunity, and relieves stress and depression. Depending on the dose used, it may have a relaxing and sleep-inducing effect or gently stimulate and improve concentration. It is widely used in the treatment and alleviation of symptoms of various diseases and civilization diseases, such as:
- Neuroactive and neuroprotective – helps in the treatment of mental disorders, including depression and anxiety, regenerates nerve cells in the body, stimulates the nervous system, reduces the frequency of epilepsy attacks, has a relaxing effect.
- Anticancer – attacks and destroys cancer cells, inhibits the multiplication of cancer cells, leads to apoptosis, i.e. suicide of cancer cells.
- Antioxidant – reduces oxidative stress, it is probably these free radicals? protects against free radicals.
- Anti-inflammatory – inhibits the inflammatory process, protects the liver.
- Analgesic – relieves pain, soothes and eliminates pain throughout the body, both internally and externally.
- Antibacterial – has strong bactericidal properties, slows down the growth of bacteria, acting similarly to antibiotics.
- Antifungal – prevents the development of diseases fungus, kills mold and fungi.
- Antiallergic – soothes allergy symptoms,
- Immunological – stimulates the body’s natural immunity, stimulates homeostasis.
- Dermatological – accelerates wound healing, fights skin diseases, rejuvenates the epidermis, reduces the effects of skin diseases such as acne, and improves the overall condition of the skin.
- Addiction – supports smoking cessation and can be used as replacement therapy in addition to various substances.
- Improves concentration and increases cognitive abilities through dopamine regulation.
Moreover, CBD can counteract the overly psychoactive effects of THC.
CBD vaporization temperature
The temperature of vaporization is an important factor that influences the intensity of sensations and the extraction of active substances. Low-temperature vaporization of CBD dried at 160 ℃ (from this value the cannabinoid CBD and THC start to evaporate) provides a delicate, relaxing effect, improves concentration, increases motivation, and has anti-inflammatory properties. Such effects occur as a result of the release of compounds such as pinene, caryophyllene, and THC. In the case of CBD, it is not worth exceeding the temperature of 180 ℃. At 185 ℃, relaxing CBD (cannabinol) begins to emerge, which can only be useful when you want to go to sleep quickly. Referring to all cannabinoids, it is not worth exceeding the temperature of 230 ℃-cannabinoids begin to volatilize, so the vaporization effect is much weaker. Also, at higher temperatures release tar.
The above vaporization temperatures may slightly differ depending on the type of herbs.
Vaporization versus smoking
Vaporizing CBD and not only reduces harmful compounds (tar, carbon dioxide), but also reduces other effects of smoking. This is confirmed by subsequent studies that have proven that <strong> vaporization does not adversely affect the condition of the lungs of the bronchi and larynx of smokers. During the vaporization process, the respiratory system is no longer irritated by smoke. Puffs of soft steam introduced into the lungs do not change their structure. <strong> No more choking cough, hoarseness, and a dry throat. Modern-designed vaporizers breathe naturally. There is no need to draw air into the lungs during vaporization, you only need to inhale the natural length and intensity to provide yourself with a satisfactory amount of vapor.
Another positive effect of vaporization is a significant change in the well-being of the smoker. Breathing normalizes, the feeling of pressure on the lungs subsides, and the physical condition becomes much better. You feel the benefits of reducing the unpleasant effects of smoking very quickly. Our mood definitely improves. After a month of inhalation with a vaporizer, you will notice a significant improvement in the functioning of the respiratory tract.
No more odor problems.
The smoke has a pungent smell and is suffocating, people in the company of a smoker smoke passively, so they also inhale the harmful substances that are released when CBD is smoked. There is also a smell when vaporizing, but it is not as intense.
Aesthetic and health benefits.
Smoking has a negative effect on the health of your teeth and fresh breath. The carbon dioxide contained in the smoke hinders the oxygenation of the cells of the entire body, including the skin. In combination with a wide range of toxins, they lower estrogen levels, which makes the skin drier. In addition, the level of elastin and collagen in the skin decreases, which causes the skin to lose its firmness and age faster. By switching from smoking to vaporizing, the risk of these unpleasant effects disappears.
Pleasure in great style.
CBD cartridges only are not the only way to perform vaporizer inhalations. The market has a whole range of specially prepared herbs and mixtures available. You can choose those that taste best for you and those that will positively affect your health and well-being. For example, vaporizing lavender has antidepressant, antiseptic and antibacterial properties, stimulates blood flow, and reduces headaches. St. John’s wort has an antidepressant effect and additionally supports the fight against colds, ulcers, and rheumatic pains
Greater CBD bioavailability
A high-quality vaporizer will extract all the most desirable substances from the herbs. Steam inhalation ensures almost 3 times greater bioavailability of CBD than taking CBD oil. CBD oils work up to 6 hours after application, but You have to wait about half an hour for the effects. Additionally, their action is weaker than that of the vapor from the vaporizer. Contrary to taking CBD oil, steam does not have a so-called first pass through the digestive system. When vaporized, most of the vapor enters the lungs. The bloodstream absorbs the CBD this way.
Performance and saving money.
Compared to smoking, vaporization is a very efficient method both in terms of herb consumption and the number of active substances released. In addition to achieving the desired health effects, we need a much smaller number of herbs when vaporizing – thanks to the vaporizer you can absorb 46% of the CBD contained in the cannabis, while smoking will allow you to absorb less than 25% of CBD.
Discreetly
Vaporization is the most discreet method of using herbs, the smell of the steam is barely perceptible. There are portable vaporizers on the market that look like e-cigarettes. Moreover, the generated steam does not smell like smoke, and the aroma of CBD is imperceptible. Unlike in turns, with a vaporizer, you will not draw attention to yourself in public places and you will not force anyone to smoke passively.
