The Ultimate Guide to CBD: Explore The World of Cannabidiol
Discover new ways to live a healthy life by incorporating cannabidiol (CBD) into your daily routines. Whether you are seeking information on making your own CBD self-care products, how to cook with CBD, or how to administer CBD to your pet, this book makes for the perfect introduction.
In The Ultimate Guide to CBD, you'll start by learning the basics—including the most current science in the field of CBD research. Since there are many ways to use cannabidiol, you'll also learn the differences between each application, with a detailed look at CBD oils, flower, ready-made beverages, tinctures, isolates, concentrates, capsules, salves, balms, face oil, vaping, and more. A discussion on homemade versus professional-made products is included, along with tips on how to pick a trustworthy brand. In the chapters that follow, you'll be able to explore CBD in a variety of ways:
Wellness: Self-care is the ultimate practice that can benefit your life, your relationships, and your overall happiness. This chapter will encourage the reader to evaluate their own personal wellness and hygiene routines, providing information on how to best use CBD-rich skincare, bath, and body products. An overview of other complimentary soothing herbs is provided, as well a “how-to” guide for crafting CBD face masks, salves, and massage oil.
Beverages and Food: Find your inner mixologist with CBD beverages, from CBD mocktails and cocktails to CBD coffee, matcha, and more. Learn how to make your own CBD oil at home and go gourmet with CBD honey, olive oil, butter and other infusions to craft delicious CBD cuisine.
Fitness: With opioid addiction on the rise, athletes are looking for new ways to manage pain, reduce anxiety, alleviate stress, and enhance performance. This section focuses on CBD and fitness by exploring the different ways that CBD may benefit the body during physical activities, such as yoga, running, skiing/snowboarding, and contact sports. An overview of CBD supplements and relief balms, as well as a “how-to” guide to making a post-workout balm to relieve sore muscles.
Pets and Other Uses: It turns out that our four-legged friends may also benefit from CBD. Learn how to safely share CBD with dogs and cats for anxiety reduction and pain management.
With all this and more, including expert spotlights featuring some of the top names in CBD-related businesses, this is the go-to resource you've been looking for.

This is a very informative book! The author has clearly done her research and presents the material in a simple, easy to understand way. There are many sections that bring in outside professionals as well, which I found helpful. The information is clear, concise, and laid out in the book wonderfully. I learned a lot and walked away with many ideas to incorporate CBD into my day. The photos are stunning. Thank you to the publisher for the advance reader in exchange for my honest review.

Beautiful photography, fun recipes, and educational. I LOVE this book! Even the look and feel of the pages really drew me in. The recipes look so good and I love learning more about the culinary cannabidiol world through different chefs' eyes. A really GREAT read.

I jumped at the chance to read an advanced copy of The Ultimate Guide to CBD by Jamie Evans in exchange for an honest review. Truth be told, this "50 something" notices new aches and pains on a near daily basis and is intrigued by the attention that CBD products have been getting with more and more states licensing and making dispensaries available to those with and without a medical marijuana card. After all, CBD is natural, right? Who doesn't want a more natural approach to healthcare, perhaps leading one away form the pharmaceutical companies?
The author provides a detailed and complete guide to CBD whether you are looking to learn more about the benefits and chemical make up, or you are looking to start from scratch with your own products. She has included featured guests who provide insight into areas they know best, from dosing to sexual pleasure and everything in between.
Recipes are provided that allow the reader to use personal preferences in ingredient lists. They range from topicals to ingestibles, food, beverages, and beauty products. The benefits of CBD products for our pets is also discussed.
Scattered within are appropriate warnings, i.e.: risks of vaping and THC effects. As a consumer who has tried a CBD tincture from a dispensary enhanced with THC, I can relate to the undesirable effects that SOME may experience. I learned that I need to stay away from Type 1 products and steer towards some type 2 and mostly type 3 formulations (CBD dominant).
Although I had toyed with the idea that I would just "mix up my own" prior to reading this complete guide, I walked away knowing that I would leave the producing of CBD oil to others (can it be simple and complicated at the same time?) and just use professional formulations of oil in the recipes I'd like to try.
Many thanks to Quarto Publishing Group- Fair Winds Press and Netgalley for this ARC.

With so much talk about CBD and so many places selling it, I wanted to read more in depth on the subject. This is a great resource for learning more about dosing, how to use, and many ways to use CBD. Very informative.

My goal with this book was to uncover the truths about CBD and to teach others all the many ways to use cannabidiol, whether it be in the kitchen, for self-care, or treating a pet. If you are looking to discover new ways to incorporate CBD and cannabis into your daily routines and rituals, this book is a perfect introduction! Not only does it feature a wealth of practical information, but it also includes DIY recipes ranging from easy to advanced. It’s a must-have for both beginners and enthusiasts. While writing this book, it was also important to include the voices of many different CBD experts who are specialized in every category covered in the book. This is truly a great read for anyone who wants to learn more.

Great book, full of information how to's, preparations and most importantly, never box the idea of the plant being just a "drug" rather a natural alternative to prescriptive medicine, which quite often is a cure weed/herb
