What is CBD?
CBD, which is short for Cannabidiol is a naturally-growing herb derived from the Cannabis Sativa plant. Cannabis sativa has two species, hemp and marijuana. While many CBD products only include hemp, others use a mix of CBD and THC (the psychoactive compound in marijuana) for added effect.
CBD by itself is not psychoactive and thus cannot get you high. However, taking the compound in various forms has been shown to help people with a wide range of important benefits.
CBD Types
CBD is an interesting compound in that it can be taken orally or used topically. CBD can even be eaten. Here are the methods that are most popular with CBD users.
Beauty Products
These CBD products include moisturizers, cleansers, toners, bath balms, lip balms, shampoos, conditioners, beard oils, masks and serums.Oil-Based Capsules
These oil-filled capsules can be comprised from CBD extract or isolate for an easier way to dose and long-lasting effects.
Concentrates
These high-potency extracts are derived from the hemp plant and contain a significant level of cannabidiol. This form of ingestion is borrowed from marijuana culture and is referred to as dabbing. The extracts are heated and the resulting vapor inhaled for effects that last up to three hours.
Beverages
CBD is a natural oil and thus does not mix with water. However, thanks to recent advances in cannabis extraction, CBD water-soluble products are now available, including bottled water, energy shots, and powdered drink mixes.
Edibles
Edibles are ideal products for those who want an enjoyable twist to taking CBD. Candies and baked goods are readily available, including chocolate, gummies, suckers, cookies, and brownies.
Pet Products
Edibles are ideal products for those who want an enjoyable twist to taking CBD. Candies and baked goods are readily available, including chocolate, gummies, suckers, cookies, and brownies.
Pet Products
Canines can enjoy CBD too. There are sprays, cookies, treats, capsules, and tinctures that can give lifelong benefits to our four-legged friends.
Suppositories
This method of taking CBD may not be glamorous, but the method does have perks. Using a bullet-shaped pill that is inserted into your backside, you can experience fast absorption and life-boosting effects that can last for up to eight hours.
Oil-Based Tinctures
Commonly referred to as CBD oil, this type of CBD is consumed sublingually. By dropping the CBD under the tongue, the oil is absorbed directly into your bloodstream for effects that can last up to six hours.
Topicals
Since humans have endocannabinoid receptors all over our bodies, including our skin, topical CBD products are becoming increasingly popular. Rub the lotions or ointments on your skin or lips and you get a range of benefits without having to ingest or inhale.
Transdermal Patches
These CBD products act similar to topical solutions. Stick the patch on and the CBD will enter your bloodstream intravenously for slow-release and long-lasting benefits.Vape Products: Vaping is popular with tobacco, but many CBD users are hopping on the vape train. Disposable vape pens and vape cartridges, along with vape oil (eLiquid), are often used and some have added flavors to make taking the CBD extra enjoyable.
CBD Effects, Benefits & Uses
Millions of people around the world use CBD for a host of life-improving effects. Studies have shown that regular use of CBD can alleviate some forms of epilepsy. The compounds are incredibly useful for alleviating anxiety and are often opted for instead of pharmaceuticals by anxiety sufferers. CBD is preferred because it offers less side effects than many pharmaceutical drugs.
CBD is also used for pain, dystonia (a muscle condition), Parkinson disease, diabetes, and Crohn disease.
Though more studies need to be conducted, experts now believe that CBD acts as an antipsychotic and can reduce symptoms in some sufferers of schizophrenia.
CBD Dosage
The amount of CBD you should take depends on your body weight, the condition you wish to treat, your body chemistry, and the method of use.
You should always talk to your doctor before taking CBD if you are taking any prescribed medications. Many individuals start out at a small dose, such as 20 to 40 milligrams a day. After a week, it is recommended to increase the amount by 5 grams. Continue this protocol until you begin feeling the effects.
It is recommended that you track your CBD use so that you know how much you are taking and how much you need to treat your symptoms.

Kratom is a powder derived from a tree that grows in Southeast Asia. People have been using the compounds found in kratom for thousands of years as a medicine.
Kratom Types
There are three kratom strains colored red, white, and green. The Red Vein Kratom has red veins and stems and is one of the best-selling kratom strains. Of the Red Vein Kratom variety, there are several subtypes, including Red Thai, Red Vein Maeng Da, Red Bali, and Red Indo Kratom. Each of these strain subtypes offers a different effect and is taken at varying dosages. Red Vein Kratom is known for its calming effects.
White Kratom
White Kratom has white veins and is known for its mood-boosting and energizing effects. There are three main subtypes of this strain, including White Vein Thai, White Vein Indo, and White Vein Kali.
Green Kratom
Green Kratom is also known as an energy booster, but it can also enhance focus and alertness. The green strain is known for being fast-acting with many users reporting an energy rush 15 to 20 minutes after ingestion.
No matter which strain or sub-strain is selected, people use kratom in different ways. Some prefer to ingest the compounds as a pill, capsule, or extract, while others like to drop the powdered leaves into a warm tea. The leaves can also be ground up and smoked similar to marijuana or eaten as edibles similar to CBD to THC edibles.
Kratom Effects, Benefits & Uses
Kratom causes effects that resemble taking opioid and stimulant pharmaceuticals. There are two compounds in kratom leaves called mitragynine and 7-a-hydroxymitragynine that interact with opioid receptors in your brain. These receptors are responsible for producing feelings of sedation, pleasure, and decreased pain.
When kratom is taken in small amounts, users report greater sociability, increased energy, and alertness.
When kratom is taken in small amounts, users report greater sociability, increased energy, and alertness.
Since kratom produces effects similar to opioids, the side effects can also be similar, such as nausea, sweating, dry mouth, constipation, seizures, and hallucinations. Kratom also has the potential for causing dependence and can produce withdrawal symptoms when kratom usage has stopped, such as muscle aches, insomnia, aggression, and emotional changes.
Many people prefer using kratom over taking pharmaceutical drugs because the risk of side effects is lower than for many prescribed medicines. Furthermore, due to its calming and pain-relieving effects, many enjoy taking kratom to treat withdrawal symptoms that arise from other addictive substances, such as alcohol.
Kratom Dosages
Kratom can provide powerful effects, even at low dosages, and everyone has a different tolerance level. Kratom may affect you at low levels whereas someone may need much more to receive the same benefit.
Experts recommend that you begin with 2 to 3 grams of kratom. Give the compounds 20 to 25 minutes to show effects and take note of how you feel. If you don’t feel any effect, increase the dose by 0.5 to 1 gram and take time to monitor how you feel before increasing more.
Kratom Products
For a boost of energy, pain relief, and a host of other important benefits, Lotus Botanicals now brings you a range of kratom products. Whether you prefer capsules, raw powder, or kratom extracts, we assure you will enjoy taking this Asian herb that many people use daily to fight pain, anxiety, and to fight addiction. Try kratom today by visiting our store in Oklahoma City or Norman and see why people have been enjoying these healing compounds for eons.
We Support Organic Farming
Organic farming avoids the use of harsh insecticides and pesticides, which can often end up in the oil or plant powder collected from the herb. These substances can cause allergic reactions in some people and adversely affect the environment. In addition, each plant species produces and releases special substances that serve as protection from natural predators in the wild. Some scientists say that those very substances may be essential to the healing and beneficial properties found in Kratom, CBD, and other similar plants. Thus, when the plant is dependent on synthetic pesticides for protection, it becomes a weaker plant with diminished properties. Organic natural herbs, on the other hand, are grown in soil that has not been taxed by conventional farming, providing a more nourishing environment for the herb to flourish to its full potential, which eventually yields an oil or powder with more powerful health benefits. Those organic plants and products are the ones you can expect every time when shopping at Lotus Botanicals.

Organic Distillation for Best Quality Oil
After a plant is grown and harvested, it must be pressed into an oil or tincture. Most non-organic extraction and distillation processes involve harsh solvents to force out the essential oil. While this method of extraction is quick and efficient, it comes with a price. First, the residue of the commercial solvent chemicals ends up in the product, once again jeopardizing consumer health. No large-scale studies have been done on this subject, but a large body of anecdotal evidence points to the harmfulness of these chemicals when ingested internally or applied topically.
