🌱 How Much CBD Should You Try the First Time?

Starting CBD for the first time can feel a little uncertain—like stepping into new waters. And that’s okay. Think of me as a friend by your side, guiding you with ease and clarity 💛


🌿 Why There’s No One-Size-Fits-All Dosage

Your body is beautifully unique ✨. Weight, lifestyle, and your reasons for using CBD all matter. That’s why experts often suggest starting low and increasing slowly, letting your body show you what feels right.


🍃 How You Take CBD Matters

Different forms of CBD enter your body differently:

  • 💧 Oils / Sublingual drops — fast-acting, easy to adjust

  • 🍬 Gummies & capsules — slower but consistent

  • 🧴 Topicals & edibles — gentler and longer to absorb


🌸 Gentle Starting Points

Think of this as a calm ritual, not a race 🕊️

  • Begin with 5–10 mg a day, ideally split morning & evening

  • Follow the “low & slow” rule—increase each week until you notice the support you’re looking for


🇬🇧 The UK’s Guidance

The FSA (Food Standards Agency) suggests no more than 10 mg a day unless guided by a professional ✅. This gives you a safe, mindful boundary for your journey.


✍️ Keep a Calm Journal

A small notebook or notes app can be your best friend 📓. Write down your dose and how you feel each day—patterns appear, clarity builds, and you’ll find confidence in your routine.


❤️ A Thoughtful Reminder

If you’re on medication or managing a health condition, always check with your doctor first 🩺. CBD can interact with other medicines, and your wellbeing comes first.
