CBD OIL

Has anyone tried CBD OIL to help with calming Autistic children?

  • I haven't done it that way, but I think it won't hurt the baby, and maybe even be good for him.

  • Question from a bit of an innocent abroad with this stuff: can CBD stuff just be ordered online and sent to any UK address directly with no prescription or anything? I'm curious enough to want to see if it can help me a bit.

  • Yes, in the past that's exactly what I've done.  I think you need to be careful about the quality and actual CBD content though.  I tended to go with Love Hemp or CBD Brothers.  Now, of course, I have it on prescription from Sapphire.  

  • Yes, they're prescription only, although both autism and anxiety are qualifying conditions.  Just mentioning them for point of comparison. 

    If I were going back to online shops, I'd choose CBD Brothers.  But the flavour is quite strong and some might just put a couple of drops on a chunk of Turkish delight or into a muffin, for example.   

  • Ah OK. But Sapphire is prescription only? So I'd go with those other two if buying online. 

  • Yes.  In some of the groups I'm in many have found the Holland & Barrett ones too weak too.  I've got to say that the Sapphire oil helps me more but previously I wasn't taking it every day and the advice from my consultant and pharmacist is that it works much better if you take it regularly and give it time in your system, so it could be that following this advice was what made the difference.  The consistency and taste of the Sapphire (Adven) oil (dark, heavy and a bit licoricy) most ressembles the CBD Brothers oils I would say, if that's anything to go by.
