Relax Tinctures& Sprays Peppermint Oil Spray by CBD Embrace By Kashif Hussain 1000mg full spectrum / 10ml Using an oral spray for CBD is a new experience for me as I’m used to the oil droppers, but CBD Embrace has managed to convince me that sprays are the more convenient delivery method. This peppermint spray might look and taste like a breath spray, but with the added bonus of CBD, giving you much more than fresh breath. Applied under the tongue, the strong (but not overwhelming) peppermint fl avor is the fi rst thing you feel, followed by that characteristically cool aftertaste that doesn’t linger for too long. The spray itself is surprisingly powerful, so it’s important to make sure you don’t hold the bottle too close to your mouth while spraying for fear of splashback. You defi nitely don’t want any of this to go to waste. As it’s kosher, halal and vegan friendly this is a spray that I’d recommend to anyone, whether it’s your fi rst dive into taking CBD or if you’re looking for a new, fresh product. Cookie Flavor Extract 1000mg by LVWell CBD By Lisa Blake This is the best tincture I’ve tried! Let’s get this out of the way from the beginning: cookie fl avor? It’s a funny fl avored cookie they’re trying to emulate... “Hold the tincture in your mouth for 5-10 minutes before swallowing for maximum absorption” Seriously, I tried. I’m contemplating should I have fi rst gone for maximum strength hot sauce to obliterate my taste buds? Or chase it with a durian fruit? I wanted a second opinion so for maximum effect, I had my boyfriend try some too. He, like me, thought there was a bit of an afterburn in the throat but defi nitely wasn’t as disconcerted as I was over the taste, but likewise, said it fell somewhere between raw hemp and cookie. Now, the important bit. The EFFECT. Almost as relaxed as lying on a hammock in Bali listening to waves gently lapping the shore after an hour of beachside meditation followed by a Thai massage while listening to Orinoco Flow on repeat. Seriously! If we’re talking about effectiveness, this is the best tincture I’ve tried. Was it the sheer relief of having mastered the fi ddly childlock screw opening? Potentially. Was it the 1000mg? Most defi nitely. Despite design and the initial taste, this was a maximum effect product for me. 139
