Is the Cannabis essential oil to be ingested? How much? When you say vaporized – do you smoke it or just smell it? How much do you apply to your skin and what are the benefits? How do you use it to help with hay-fever, stress, and insomnia?
Thanks so much!
While Cannabis Flower Essential Oil is used as a flavoring agent in foods, I would never recommend ingesting an essential oil. It is also used in perfumes and cosmetics applied to the skin, but again, if applying to the skin, use appropriate dilution ratios.
When I say vaporized, I mean diffused with an essential oil diffuser as in aromatherapy.
