The CBD Oil Solution

I was really impressed by the breakdown throughout the beginning half of this book about, which offered a lot of important information about 1) the differences between THC and CBD, 2) the different conditions most helped by CBD and 3) the different ways to take CBD in. I also liked that included were straightforward answers to questions about who should and shouldn't use CBD.

The second half of the book is a great "cookbook" (it didn't just include food recipes, but also topical recipes). A lot of different things to try, but also a guide so you can keep track of what you have tried in the past, so that you know for the future what works best for you. Sometimes (at least with THC) it's a little difficult after the fact to remember all the details of what you did so that next time you know what you should try.

I have been hearing about CBD oil a lot recently but was unsure what it was or the uses for it. Since I am a nutritionist and recommend both vitamins and herbs on a regular basis this looked like a great book for me. The CBD Oil Solution is a short but clear introduction to CBD. The author clearly explains what CBD oil is. I particularly liked the section that discusses health conditions for which CBD can be used. here has been some research on its use and the author gives a summary both of some of that research as well as her use with patients in her own medical practice. Since CBD is a new and relatively expensive product, the section in the book that discusses how it is made and how to shop for quality is especially useful. The recipes included also look very useful for someone who is interested in consuming CBD regularly.
I definitely recommend this book for someone who is interested in taking CBD for their health. The cost of this book could easily be gained by avoiding purchase of an inferior CBD oil supplement.

I received a complementary copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an unbiased review.

The CBD Oil Solution: Treat Chronic Pain, Anxiety, Insomnia, and More- without the High


This was by far the easiest to follow and the most basic book of the three books on CBD oil I read. Written by a doctor, it explains in very simple terms what the oil is, where it comes from, the difference between CBD from hemp VS. CBD from marijuana, how it’s made and extraction methods. The next part goes over different conditions that it treats and whether it is right for you or not. Part 3 tells you how to buy CBD oil if you decide it’s for you. It tells you what you need to look for on the label to be a smart consumer and to know what you are really getting. It shows examples of unclear labeling you want to avoid. Great tips. Part 4 is how to use CBD oil. It doesn’t work instantly, and this doctor has developed the five-step Patel Process which is explained in the book. It goes by the condition, and there is more in-depth information on her website. Step 1: Determine the right combination of cannabinoids. Step 2. Select the best delivery method. Step 3. Figure out the right dose. Step 4 Determine the frequency of use. Step 5 Track your use.


The next section is an FAQ about CBD. Then is Part 5: CBD Recipes – things you can make from the oil that are edibles, etc. once you’ve determined the right amount of oil you need. There’s a Matcha Latte, a Birthday Cake Bhang, Oh, Vienna!, Tummy Tea, Desert Blossom Coffee, A Bulletproof Morning, Mexican Hot Chocolate, Golden Milk, Punjabi Chai, Salted Caramel Creme, Fresh Green Smoothie, Roseberry Smoothie, + others. There is Wild Peanut Brittle, Soothing Herbal Ice Pops, Bear Hugs (gummies), Spicy Cocoa Bites, Toasty Turtles, Apricot Crumble Pies, Pistachio-Stuffed Dates, Kimchi Kale Chips, Avocado Toasties, Curried Carrot & Chia Crackers, Grass-Fed Beef Bone Broth, Raw Tomato & Red Pepper Soup, Tandoori Tofu Lettuce Wraps, Temple Massage Balm, Cooling Aloe Lotion, Clear Skin Toner, CBD Spa Mask, Purifying Salt Scrub, Kitchen Sink Salve, Joint & Muscle Salve, and others. My thanks for the advance electronic copy that was provided by NetGalley, author Rachna Patel, and the publisher for my fair review.

Great information about the use of CBD and what to look for in a CBD product and what to be cautious about. Information about various ways of use and the recipes section was great as well. Photography was well done as well as the overall flow and setup of the book. Great information in such a small nugget of a book.

An excellent overview of CBD oil & what it can do, full of facts, wise advice, and recipes for yummy edibles and topical you can make yourself. Because the author is a doctor, who uses CBD to treat many of her patients she doesn't get caught up in the political posturing of many other books on the subject. I liked that.

A very useful introduction.

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!
