What Are the Types of CBD I Should Consider?
Even though research doesn’t definitively link CBD to any benefits for people with COPD, it may still be safe to incorporate CBD into your lifestyle, especially for other symptoms. Here are some different options to use CBD. However, take note that not all of them are safe for use with COPD.
CBD oil
CBD oil is one of the most popular ways that people take CBD to treat their COPD. You can diffuse CBD oil through a diffuser in your home, which has minimal side effects. But it can be hard to control the dosage.
Some people also apply CBD oil topically to the neck and chest as a way of soothing COPD symptoms [2]. The only current evidence that this works is purely anecdotal. You may also inhale CBD oil through a vape pen or other vaping device. This can produce a feeling of relaxation while delivering CBD directly into your bloodstream and your lungs.
However, you should know that vaping itself does have side effects. Vaping can also cause lung irritation and inflammation due to the inhalation of hot vapor that may contain other potentially harmful substances. Ensure that the product you are using has a certificate of authenticity so you know that you’re getting a clean product, and avoid vapes that have any additives.
