The buzziest wellness product around today has got to be CBD. By now, everyone’s heard about CBD (and some of you may have already tried it). It’s marketed as a cure-all for just about anything, and beyond its most common form as an edible oil, it’s added to items as wildly diverse as CBD face cream, CBD massage oil, and CBD candles.
Despite all the hype, many of us have no real knowledge about CBD and what CBD is used for. Read on to learn more and discover guidelines about CBD’s use.

CBD and pregnancy: Is it safe?

On the other hand, scientists and doctors know little about the effects of CBD on pregnancy and breast-feeding because there hasn’t been much research on the subject. The FDA, which is in the midst of studying the effects of CBD use, strongly advises against the use of cannabidiol (CBD), tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and marijuana in any form during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
