CBD (cannabidiol) can help address numerous health problems. Among all CBD products, CBD Oil is one of the most popular and easiest to use. In this article, we’ll focus on how to dose CBD Oil and how to incorporate it into your daily routine.
CBD Oil Under the Tongue: The Best Method
It’s no coincidence that CBD Oil is typically the top choice for anyone dealing with stress, anxiety, and insomnia. Compared to other options, it’s affordable, easy to use, and doesn’t come with the health risks associated with smoking or vaping.
CBD Oil drops are quickly absorbed into the body’s endocannabinoid system when dropped under the tongue.
Known as the sublingual method of absorption, drop the CBD Oil under your tongue and let it sit for two to five minutes—the longer, the better. Then, swish the remaining oil around your mouth to absorb the CBD over a larger surface area.
For best results, avoid drinking or eating for approximately ten minutes.
This method takes effect faster than CBD capsules or edible products because cannabidiol immediately enters the bloodstream through the mucous membrane. If you swallow it right away or use a product designed for ingestion (such as CBD gummies), it will take longer to enter the bloodstream.
Additionally, digestive enzymes can break down some beneficial molecules, making them less effective, so you get the most for your money using the sublingual method!
How to Use CBD Oil
If you’re wondering how to use CBD Oil, several factors influence how you should use CBD Oil:
- Body weight: Higher body weight often requires more CBD Oil for the full effect.
- Diet and metabolism: A faster metabolism may need a higher CBD Oil dose, while a slower metabolism might need less.
- Overall health: Though CBD is generally considered safe, those with serious conditions should consult a doctor before use.
- Tolerance to CBD: Long-term use can lead to higher tolerance, meaning you may need more CBD Oil to feel the same effects.
- Product concentration: CBD Oils come in various strengths, so check the label to ensure you’re getting the right amount of CBD.
CBD Oil Dosage
The ideal dose for each person depends on body weight, body chemistry, and current medications. (If you’re on medication, always speak with a healthcare professional to avoid possible drug interactions.)
How many CBD Oil drops should I take under my tongue? 👇🏼
A good starting point is between 15-50 mg of CBD, depending on the severity of your issue and other factors. Some people take over 300mg of CBD per dose, while others take less than 15 mg.
For mild daily stress, lower concentrations may suffice, whereas more serious problems might require higher doses.
If you’re new to CBD Oil, start with a low dose—around 10-25 mg per day—and gradually increase every four to five days until you find your optimal amount.
It’s also helpful to keep a written record of your daily CBD intake to track how many milligrams you’ve consumed and monitor any effects. During this “trial period,” you can split your total daily intake into two or three doses.

Types of CBD Products and Their Uses
CBD has gained significant popularity in recent years, so it’s important to understand how to use it. Cannabidiol (CBD) interacts with the endocannabinoid system, which are specific receptors in the nervous system that naturally bind endocannabinoid signaling molecules produced by the human body.
By interacting with these processes, CBD offers you several promising benefits.
Studies suggest that CBD could have a positive impact on:
- Sleep disorders: A 2022 scientific review found that products containing THC and CBD might help combat insomnia.
- Anxiety and stress: A 2020 study in New Zealand indicated that CBD may help alleviate anxiety symptoms and improve daily functioning.
- Various types of chronic pain: A 2022 meta-analysis of 12 studies concluded that CBD may be a viable alternative to opioid pain relievers for chronic pain.
- Depressive symptoms: A 2022 paper suggested that CBD may alleviate symptoms of depression by influencing neural stem cell differentiation.
- Inflammatory conditions: A 2018 study noted that cannabidiol might have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Key question: How do we get CBD into the bloodstream effectively?
Different CBD products reach the bloodstream in different ways:
- CBD Oils and tinctures: Absorbed via the mucous membranes under the tongue.
- CBD capsules and edibles: Absorbed through the digestive system.
- CBD cigarettes or vape products: Absorbed through the lungs.
- CBD creams or topicals: Absorbed through the skin.

How to Dose CBD Oils from USA Medical
All USA Medical CBD Oils come in a 30 ml bottle. Each bottle includes a dropper that measures 1 ml (approximately 30–35 drops).
While you can count drops in front of a mirror, using the dropper’s measurement lines makes it easier to know exactly how many milligrams of CBD you’re taking. Here’s a breakdown for each product:
- USA Medical 500 mg CBD Oil: 1 ml ≈ 15 mg of CBD
- USA Medical 1000 mg CBD Oil: 1 ml ≈ 30 mg of CBD
- USA Medical 3000 mg CBD Oil: 1 ml ≈ 100 mg of CBD
Using these figures, you can easily calculate how many milliliters (or fractions of a milliliter) you need to reach your desired dose.
