CBD oil for relaxation and well-being

Switzerland has established itself as a leading supplier of high-quality CBD products. With strict quality controls, controlled cultivation and innovative extraction methods, Swiss producers are setting new standards in the CBD industry. 

What is CBD oil?

CBD oil is a combination of high-quality CBD extract and a carefully selected carrier oil. The cannabidiol is obtained from the flowers and leaves of the hemp plant by gentle CO2 extraction and then dissolved in carrier oils such as hemp seed oil or MCT oil. This combination makes the ingredients easier to absorb.

The key difference between CBD and THC lies in the psychoactive effect. While THC is intoxicating, CBD is not psychoactive. So CBD oil does not change your perception or consciousness.

Production takes place in Switzerland using state-of-the-art CO2 extraction from controlled hemp plants. This process preserves the valuable cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids of the original plant. Full-spectrum oils retain all natural compounds, while isolate oils contain only pure cannabidiol.

Research and experiences

The endocannabinoid system regulates many physiological processes and interacts with cannabinoids from the hemp plant. According to research, CBD influences the activity of the CB1 and CB2 receptors in complex ways without binding to them directly.

Some users describe CBD oil as pleasantly relaxing, without any intoxicating effect. When taken sublingually, the effect usually starts after 15 to 30 minutes and lasts several hours. The ingredients are absorbed well through the oral mucosa.

CBD oil is not a medicine, and we make no healing claims. Personal experiences and studies on cannabidiol are no guarantee of a particular effect.

Dosing CBD oil

The right dose of CBD oil varies from person to person. To start, 2 to 3 drops a day work well, so your body can slowly get used to the cannabidiol. Factors such as body weight, metabolism and personal preferences influence the right amount.

After about a week, you can increase the dose gradually by 1 to 2 drops a day if needed, until you find your personal feel-good dose. Ideally, take it sublingually: hold the oil under your tongue for 60 to 90 seconds before swallowing. This way the cannabinoids are absorbed particularly well.

Legal situation in Switzerland

Switzerland has one of the most liberal regulations for CBD products in Europe. The THC limit is 1 %, much higher than in other European countries, where 0.2 % or 0.3 % usually applies. This limit makes it possible to offer high-quality full-spectrum oils with a broader cannabinoid profile.

CBD is considered a non-intoxicating substance and is not subject to the Narcotics Act. The cannabis plant and its extracts are legal as long as they stay within the THC limit. This legal situation creates legal certainty for consumers and producers alike.

Sale is only permitted to persons aged 18 and over. This age limit serves to protect minors and is in line with international standards for cannabis products. Sellers are obliged to check the age of their customers.

Current regulation classifies CBD oil as a cosmetic product, not as a food supplement or medicine. This classification comes with specific labelling requirements, but no restrictions for adult consumers. The market remains stable, as the Swiss authorities take a pragmatic approach to CBD products.

Who is CBD oil suitable for?

CBD oil is generally intended for healthy adults aged 18 and over who want to try cannabidiol. Pregnant and breastfeeding women, children and teenagers should not use it. If you take medication at the same time, medical advice is recommended, as interactions are possible. If you drive, you should know that even legal CBD oils can contain tiny traces of THC that could theoretically be detected in sensitive tests. Being open about it at traffic checks is therefore advisable.
