Review: Thrive CBD Oil | Gifted

Monday, 21 December 2020

Well hello to you my reader chums! I've heard a lot about CBD oil over the years and how it's meant to benefit the body and mind in so many ways. I never really thought about trying it out in all honesty as I hadn't researched it enough. However, when Thrive got in touch to review their oil, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to see if the oil would work for me and see what Thrive is all about.

Here is my full review and experience:

What is Thrive?

Thrive is a new start-up business in the CBD wellness space, and they offer a range of different, organically sourced CBD oils. Their aim is to design products that redefine our attitudes towards self-care and offering a solution to feeling happier and healthier. Their CBD oils are THC-free which means, they do not get you high. The organically sourced oil has two different flavours, peppermint and blood orange.

What are the benefits of CBD oil?

CBD, short for Cannabidiol is one of the cannabinoid chemical compounds found in the Cannabis plant. CBD isn't like actual Cannabis the drug as it doesn't get you high or have any mind-altering effects. CBD is designed to work with our bodies - our bodies will produce cannabinoids which are used throughout our endocannabinoid system (ECS.) This system contains receptors that regulate our mood and emotions - and CBD helps those receptors restore beneficial changes in the body. The oil is vegan, gluten-free and GMO-free. And, it's been lab-tested twice and is 100% safe.

The benefits of CBD oil are all about finding the balance within your body. The whole idea behind it is to do everything you need to do, but feel better whilst doing it.

The taste and scent

The oil comes in two different flavours peppermint and blood orange. I chose the peppermint flavour as I loved the idea of a fresh, minty taste. The scent of the oil is very natural and has a fresh hint of mint running through it and when I place it under my tongue, it tastes exactly the same as the scent. The taste lingers in my mouth for a few minutes until it's absorbed and then the taste goes soon after, so it's like I haven't even placed it in my mouth.

The experience with the oil

I didn't know what to exactly make of the oil. I've heard lots of good things prior to using it, and I decided to start using it before I went to bed and first thing in the morning, and tested it over the series of a few weeks to see how things would change.

The bottle recommends using 4 full pipettes spread over 2-3 doses per day. They also advise to slowly build the intake up, until you figure out if you need more or less as part of your daily dosage. I liked to use it twice a day as that was best for my morning and evening routine.

The process of using oil is really simple. I give the bottle a shake and then drop the oil underneath my tongue and wait 60-90 seconds for it to fully absorb.

I really enjoyed the process of taking the oil and some of the effects I began to notice as I made it a more prominent part of my routine.

Effects of the oil

I really love this oil and I'm excited it's part of my daily self-care routine. I've found since using it at night before I go to bed, it's really helped my sleep. Not so much getting to sleep, but I find I'm sleeping more deeply and it really helps send me off into a deep slumber. I feel a lot more awake when I get up and energised, ready to take on the day.

I'm excited to continue to use it as part of a daily care routine and see how I can get the balance right for me.
