About CBD & CBG for Daily Wellness

CBD is a common non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in hemp and known for its generally calming and soothing effects. When consumed, research suggests CBD promotes a wide array of therapeutic properties, including the potential to relieve inflammation and pain, promote relaxation and homeostasis, and even improve sleep quality.

CBG, on the other hand, is known for its energizing properties. It works by activating certain receptors in the body that help regulate energy levels, such as the CB1 and CB2 receptors. While no psychoactive “high” is felt from CBG, research suggests it promotes more energizing and focused effects.

CBD is a fantastic way to increase your day-to-day wellness routines. From workout recovery to improved sleep, there are endless benefits to using it. By taking CBD and CBG together, you can get a synergistic effect that helps boost your energy and focus while maintaining a more balanced mind and body throughout the day.

How to Dose CBD?

When it comes to finding the ideal dose of CBD or CBG for you, it’s important to keep in mind that everybody’s internal endocannabinoid system is different.

Particularly if you are new to THC-free cannabinoids like CBD, we suggest starting with the lowest dose (1 dropper full is around 10-20mL) and experimenting with that before increasing your intake.

When adding CBD or CBG to your smoothies, beverages, or recipes, be sure to determine the right CBD dose for you for optimal effects and results.

How to Make CBD-Infused Honey

There are plenty of unique ways to enjoy Drops of Life products that go beyond the traditional tincture or edible. A recipe as simple as CBD-infused honey allows for other delicious ways to incorporate CBD or CBG into your everyday wellness routine. Let’s learn how to cook with CBD to make infused honey.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of honey
• 10-20mL (or your preferred dose) of Drops of Life CBD isolate tincture, or our CBG tincture for energy.

What You’ll Need:

• A saucepan
• Bowl (heatproof)
• Whisk or spoon
• Sterilized jar for storage

Instructions:

1. 1. Choose Your DOL Tincture: While we best recommend a Drops of Life tincture for this recipe, the choice between a CBD tincture or a CBG tincture is solely up to you. Determine the effects you’re seeking from hemp-based cannabinoids to choose the best product for your infused honey recipe.
   2. Heat Honey: In a saucepan filled with water and a heatproof bowl on top, gently heat the honey over low to medium heat. Make sure not to boil the honey, as this can destroy some of its beneficial ingredients.

• Add CBD: Once the honey has been warmed and runny, add your desired amount of CBD oil tincture into the honey. Using a whisk or spoon, thoroughly mix until the oil is evenly distributed in the honey.

• Stir & Simmer: Continue to stir the honey. For a more thicker consistency, let the mixture simmer a bit longer.

• Cool & Store: Once the CBD-infused honey is well mixed and heated, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool. Then, pour the honey into a sterilized jar or container for storage.

• Label & Enjoy: Be sure to label the jar of CBD-infused honey with the date and potency, so you are aware of how much is in a serving. Enjoy your CBD-infused honey in a variety of food recipes, smoothies, teas, and more!

With your new batch of infused honey, the goodness of CBD doesn’t have to stop there! Add a few drops of CBD-infused honey to your tea, smoothie, or savory recipe to elevate your meal.
