Can anyone recommend a good cbd oil in the uk?? I’m so sick of being in pain and I’m willing to try anything, I don’t really want to smoke cannabis and I’ve recently seen cbd oil being sold in Holland and Barrett but not sure whether the percentage of it is good?

Hi!

I use raw 3% CBD+CBDa oil. CBDa is believed to have anti-inflammatory properties which is important when you have endo lesions. I noticed a significant decrease in pain when I was regularly using this oil.

I now buy only Endoca products because they are certified and guaranteed quality. I find it important because CBD oils will have trace amounts of THC and therefor I cannot risk using a random product that is not regularly tested for THC levels. If THC level is high enough to be detectable in a drug test it may cost you a drivers license or maybe a job. When I first started researching CBD products I was overwhelmed by the amount of online stores and products that all claim to be selling superior CBD product. Sadly, many of these brands did not even have a manufacturer web page, not to mention testing info.

I order from their website, I don’t know if I’m allowed to post the link here but type Endoca in Google or just add (dot)com after the name and it’ll direct you to their website and shop :) I just ordered a new stash of oils because they have a sale.

Oh, and my cat loves it. He was depressed and I figured I’ll try to see if the CBD oil would help. And it does!

There’s quite a lot of information in the blog there too.

Hi

I feel the same so recently bought some CBD oil from the CBD tardis in Glasgow - cbdscotland.ecwid.com

I went to the actual shop and it was helpful to speak to the person there. They were really knowledgable although they're limited (legally I think) in how they can recommend products for health conditions.

I haven't used it though because I also have to take omprazole for acid reflux and wasn't sure about interactions. Spoke to my pharmacist the other day but she didn't seem to know. She thought CBD oil was illegal, so probably have to ask another pharmacist.

It's good to hear it's worked for other people though. I have a problem with ibuprofen/diclofenac etc because of my acid reflux but I'm taking 60mg codeine at the moment and it's just taking the edge off the pain so I'll give the CBD oil a go I think.

CBD oil does not interact with omeprazole and you can safely take it. But - if you use codeine regularly, then adding CBD can increase the longevity/effect of codeine and possibly also cause some adverse effects.

There are certain medications that may/do interact with cannabinoids. For example anti-depressants and other psychiatric medications, anesthetics and so on.

If you are ready to try CBD then you might not even need the omeprazole after some time.

I had horrible acid reflux from taking ibuprofen regularly. I even had to sleep with 3 pillows because being horisontal made me feel like I was on fire from my gut all the way up to my throat.

CBD brothers have reviews better than anyone else I found. Have a look at their website. The percentages are much higher than what you'll find in holland and Barrett. I think you can order a free sample to try. I've been using the blue 25% one for a couple of weeks so it's too soon to know if it'll make a huge difference but definitely worth a try!

Thank you for sharing this, they look very transparent and high quality. Some of the sites I’ve looked at seem to be a bit vague about what your getting x

Hey

I use cbd oil after my husband took me to amsterdam to basically try some out and learn more.

I went to a cannabis lab and met a cannabis dr who explained what it does what works best for this and that so j came away with 10 ml bottle of 10% raw oil it is fantastic ..

It has thc so no ill effects of drugs just the medication side the cbd it was £60.

I took the email so could order it called medihemp and the site i use it cbdsense.com it in netherlanda so b aware it can take 4-5 days to arrive.

It has stopped the inflammation in my body im not in so much discomfort. I use mine for bad periods but i have fibro to so mainly for that

Not what you're looking for?
