I'm almost ashamed to admit that I knew nothing about CBD before this book. Sure, I had heard claims on how it has helped others with pain and anxiety but I never knew the full spectrum of what it can do. I honestly would recommend this book to anyone. To those curious, in pain, or not knowing where or how to start with CBD I recommend picking this book up first.

This guide contained some helpful general information on things like what exactly CBD is, where it comes from, how it works in the brain, and how it is extracted from the plants and made into usable products. However, I was hoping for more specifics on the medical conditions it is useful for (there were only a handful listed), general dosing ranges and recommendations, reputable brands, etc. I appreciated some of the recipes included in the book, specifically for things like the salves and soaks, but I found some of them a bit unnecessary (CBD avocado toast? yeesh.). So overall, this book was kind of a mixed bag.

A nice comprehensive book on the subject. It will be good for the author to come out with books of other oils as well.

As someone who has explored CBD without much prior knowledge, I really appreciated this book. Not only does it go in-depth with the history and nature of CBD, but it really breaks down what it is and why it is becoming so popular. Very informative and very enlightening. I appreciated the recipes in the back as well! This is the perfect book for someone who is just starting to get on the CBD bandwagon, and wants to know the research as well as the history behind it.

Thank you #NetGalley and DK Publishing for this ARC of #TheCbdOilSolution !

Essential oils are all the rage now. Rachna Patel has put into print how to use , make and the healing powers of these oils. Great reference book for those beginning and those currently using oils in their everyday lives. Loved it.

I received an ARC of this book courtesy of the publisher. I found this to be a very helpful beginner's guide to CBD, which has received a significant amount of attention recently. The author describes the chemical structure of CBD, how it effects the body, how it is consumed, and also includes recipes to incorporate CBD into your diet. I wish the author had gone into a bit more depth on dosing, but overall was satisfied with the quality of this book. I would recommend it to those interested in exploring CBD.

I first learned about CBD after braving a trip inside an Amsterdam dispensary, where I asked the extremely kind and knowledgeable man behind the counter what he'd recommend for chronic pain without the high. He told me about CBD (and it was legal), and gave me a brief description of other medicinal properties. After doing a LOT of research then trying a CBD edible, the relief I found to my chronic pain, mild insomnia, and general anxiety was profound. The CBD Oil Solution was a very interesting read and described a lot of the research I came across before CBD became so widely known. I cringe when there's a 'bandwagon' to jump on, and CBD seems extremely popular -- enough that people aren't aware of what CBD is and can get swindled out of their money/pain relief. This book has great recommendations, recipes, scientific facts, everything that I had wished I had originally that would have cut my research time in half. I know of a few folks that are interested in learning more (and have heard horror stories of what they've paid for 'CBD' products), and would encourage them to read The CBD Oil Solution or books like it to become more aware of what's needed for personal pain relief outside of doctor-prescribed opiates.

As someone that suffers from chronic pain, I jumped at the chance to read this title. I have used CBD oil from time to time and have witnessed the relief from not just my pain but also some of my anxiety. CBD oil seems to be widely talked about, but it has been a bit confusing for me. This book explains the different sources of CBD and how it’s different than THC, which is found in marijuana. Patel explains many of the uses for CBD from pain management to migraines, seizures and ADHD. Want to know what dose is appropriate or what type of recipe to use CBD oil in? This book has all of that too! If you are at all curious about CBD oil and if it might help you, this is a great resource!
Thank you to DK and NetGalley for this informative advanced copy, my opinions are my own.
I will feature this on my blog Monday December 17, 2018.

This book is not about why you should use marijuana or CBD oil but provides all the facts you need to make an informed decision about the use of CBD oil. It explains the difference between CBD oil and Hemp oil, marijuana and CBD oil, and types of oil.

It discussed the many health benefits of CBD oil but takes it one step further and describes which type works best for a particular symptom or disease (e.g. arthritis, stress, depression, etc.).

I found this book to contain enough facts to understand CBD oil and it’s uses. It does not overwhelm you with information that is confusing and unnecessary. There are diagrams and photos to assist with making this an effective read.

I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to learn more about this substance exploding though out the country.

I received an eBook ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest opinion. That, in no way, affected by opinion or ratings for this book.

Excellent learning tool without any commercial hype.
The publisher's blurb gives the basics as covered in this book and the book itself gives testimonials from various patients with a variety of reasons why they were prescribed CBD oil for a variety of different issues. One very useful item included is a clear explanation of how to understand the label. I was surprised to find recipes! My only exposure has been with the capsule form.
I requested and received a free ebook copy from DK Publishing via NetGalley.

Thank you to NetGalley and DK Publishing for an advance read of this title. I'm not well versed in CBD, but know a bit about it. I would classify this book as a simple read for the a beginner into this research. It's written as an easy read, and the format is full of photos, inserted boxes, etc. The information is explained for the lay person, and you would have no trouble understanding it. If you are looking for a detailed guide, this might not be the book for you, but it's a great start.

The author, a physician, explains how CBD oil, derived from hemp but without the high associated with marijuana/THC, has helped her patients suffering from chronic pain, back pain, migraines, neuropathy, and mild to moderate insomnia. She discusses the difference between full-spectrum and isolate CBD, and advises readers to look into product purity before purchasing. Recipes are also included.

Dr Rachna Patel has written a very informative book on the use of CBD oil.The book is well organized and easy to understand. Patient testimonials are provided for various medical conditions where CBD oils were found effective.The book covers topics such as how to read a product label, how to use the oils in recipes to make teas, ice-pops,lattes, and lip balms just to name a few, and the different methods that CBD oils can be ingested for example through vaporizing,foods,and topical applications.If you are looking for a book that explains what CBD is and how to use it, and how to read a product label and be an informed consumer in easy to read language, this is the book for you!
Thank you to The DK Publicity Team and Netgalley for providing an ARC of this book for me to review.

I was already using CBD oil before encountering this book, but I didn't have an understanding of how it's made or how it works. The information provided here is incredibly thorough yet presented in basic language and is easily understood. The author is very clear about the nature of CBD and how to obtain high quality products from reputable sources. There are great breakdowns of the different products, and the differences between CBD and THC, busting many myths related to cannabis and marijuana. The author's guidance here inspired me to get more information about the products I use and what to expect from different forms of usage and dosing. It also encouraged me to be more confident in my use of CBD and to think of it more seriously. I am grateful this book crossed my path!
