Answers to all your questions about CBD.
CBD drops
Cannabidiol (CBD) one of 113 cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. We have receptors for cannabinoids all over our bodies; our internal endocannabinoid system. Cannabinoids regulate our sleep, mood, mind state and all kinds of bodily functions. In addition to 'locks' for the body's own substances (endogenous cannabinoids), we have a lot of locks for phytocannabinoids, the cannabinoids in plants. CBD is abundant in the hemp plant.
No, don't worry. Our CBD oil contains virtually no THC (less than 0.01%). THC is the substance that makes cannabis psychoactive. High-quality CBD oil is made from cannabis strains that naturally contain (low values) THC, but this is filtered out in the process. The weed that coffee shops sell comes from strains that are rich in THC.
Heal Mary drops are full-spectrum and the other wellness products contain broad-spectrum CBD. All cannabinoids in the hemp plant have their own benefits. Most only know THC, the cannabinoid that gets you high. We want you to get the whole alphabet of cannabinoids (except THC, which would be illegal), not just CBD. Pure CBD, or an isolate, is filtered from all major cannabinoids and terpenes and thus contains only CBD.
Full spectrum refers to the complete cannabinoid profile. Your body has receptors for CBD, but also for CBN, CBG and another rainbow of cannabinoids. In addition, the naturally present terpenes and flavonoids are also preserved in a broad and full-spectrum oil.
The short answer is: organic hemp extract and cold-pressed hemp seed oil. The long answer: our CBD oil is obtained through CO2 extraction. This gentle extraction method ensures that none of the cannabinoids and terpenes are lost. Unlike extraction with hazardous solvents, the CO2 method is pure and free of harmful substances. We use CBD paste for Heal Mary CBD oil. Pastes usually contain a higher concentration of CBD.
Heal Mary uses hemp seed oil as a carrier oil. Hemp seed oil is bursting with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and the rare gamma-linolenic acid. In addition, it is the best source of essential omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids.
Heal Mary CBD contains no additives, flavor additives, sweeteners or preservatives.
Roses owe their wonderful scent to terpenes. Terpenes are nothing new for biologists. These hydrocarbons are naturally present in many plants. They are widely used to make beauty products smell and feel good. In cannabis, terpenes play a more active role, determining the aroma, taste and effects of the specific strain.
Myrcene helps calm the body and is a perfect ally for sleep. The earthy, lemongrass-like aroma is typical. Notes of pinene and linalool flower can sharpen the focus and lift the mood. Some cannabis strains contain more than 200 terpenes.
Heal Mary CBD products are made from hemp strains that are exceptionally high in terpenes, which are also found in ripe mango, chamomile, ylang ylang and cardamom. Limonene is also present in citrus fruits and has been linked to anti-anxiety and euphoria. Bisabolol is the time machine for your hair and makes troubled skin happy again. Terpenes work best in a full spectrum context. This is called the entourage effect.
Ask yourself the following questions:
Is the oil full spectrum, broad/wide spectrum or isolate?
Which extraction method was used?
What other ingredients does the product contain?
Has the oil been tested by an independent lab?
How much CBD is really in the bottle?
Don't be fooled. Sometimes on a label, for example: 25% hemp paste 10%, 75% hemp seed oil. You might think that the CBD percentage is 10%. But that's not right, the paste is only 25% of the content. In that case, there is only 2.5% CBD oil in the bottle.
The only difference between our 5% and 10% drops is the amount of CBD. The 5% contains 500mg CBD, which amounts to about 2.5mg per drop. The 10% contains 1000mg CBD – 5mg per drop.
If you are a beginner, go for the 5% first. If you are sure that you can use something stronger, you can also skip the 5%. The 5% and 10% are often also combined: the lower dose as a daily supplement to calm the nervous system, the 10% for the days when things are not going well, for example the first week of your menstrual cycle.
Our CBG/CBD is a combination of the 10% CBD plus another 10% concentrated CBG. The difference between CBD and CBG is in the effects. They are both substances from the hemp plant, only mature cannabis contains a high level of CBD and only 1% CBG. CBG is currently undergoing extensive (clinical) research and shows promise due to its super strong anti-inflammatory properties. We recommend this variant if you have sleep complaints related to stress, an irritable bowel, winter dip or depressive tendencies. CBG can also provide clear dreams and positively influence your sleep cycles.

Heal Mary CBD oil is versatile and can be used orally or sublingually (under the tongue).
The cannabinoids work better on a full stomach than on an empty stomach.
Fill the pipette with the desired amount of CBD by squeezing the rubber cap.
Drip the oil under the tongue, wait at least 60 seconds, then swallow. This way the oil is absorbed by your cheek mucosa and not by the stomach and you absorb more.
By administering the oil under the tongue, your system absorbs it quickly and responds to the drops within twenty minutes.
You can add your drops to snacks and desserts with a fat source, such as smoothies, cocoa or latte. Although you may experience this as calming, your stomach only has a bioavailability of 6%. Your lungs and cheek mucosa can absorb CBD much better. In addition, cannabinoids easily bind to fat, but do not like water. If you are making a CBD tea, add whole milk or, for example, some coconut oil.
It's an art to find the right dosage. This really differs from person to person. Your weight, tolerance, lifestyle and the desired effect are all factors that play a role. We recommend a low dose of 3 drops in the morning and possibly 3 in the evening for new users.
If you want to take more drops in a day, leave at least four hours between the times. It takes about that long for the effect to wear off. Stay on the dose for a few days before increasing it.
Keep in mind that CBD has to be built up in your body. That takes a few weeks (but you can already notice the effect after six days). Slowly more and more receptors respond to the CBD. Find your perfect dose yourself. You have a unique endocannabinoid system, so also an individual sweet spot. Tip: CBG works immediately, your body does not have to build up a mirror for it.
Tips to find your personal dosage:
– Take the CBD at the same time every day. Preferably 30-60 minutes after eating. On a full stomach, your body absorbs more cannabinoids.
– Keep a journal about your CBD dosage.
– Stay on the first dose for 2-3 days and then increase slowly.
Little is known about the effect of CBD on or during pregnancy. For that reason, it is often not recommended to use CBD during pregnancy. Breastfeeding naturally contains endocannabinoids. These are of great importance for learning the sucking reflex and developing a healthy eating pattern. Not much is known about the possible positive or negative effects on a developing child.
If you want to use CBD for complaints such as severe pregnancy sickness or postpartum depression, consult your (homeopathic) doctor and read carefully.
CBD slows down the breakdown of some medicines. If you take medicines for your blood pressure, don't take CBD. If in doubt about the combination of CBD and medicines, it is best to consult your doctor or doctor.
Store the drops in a dark place, but preferably not in the refrigerator. The 5% can get viscous from that. The bottle can be stored for up to a year after opening. Preferably use the oil at room temperature.
About Heal Mary
No, it is not. When developing the products, we focus on bodies with a uterus and vulva, and the associated reproductive and sexual complaints. Many people with a uterus use CBD for anxiety, hormonal balance, menstrual cramps and to relieve symptoms that can occur during the menopause.
Cannabis has been used for centuries to relieve pain and other discomforts. Queens, witches, pregnant women, brides and village herbalists: the plant has long been an ally of humans, including women and femmes. In the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. We want to reintroduce that knowledge. The cannabis world today is very cis-male-dominant and geared towards one type of man. We strive for a future where safe spaces emerge, online and offline, for all kinds of people and women and femmes can rediscover cannabis.
We hope to support people in their mental, physical and emotional health with our growing CBD line, regardless of whether your body fits into a box.
Secure. To ensure quality and purity, every batch of CBD used in our products is tested by an independent lab. This applies to the drops, bath bombs, peach 'n love and any new products.
About a month. It depends on your personal use.
We like to keep it simple. Our formula is strong and contains a huge amount of cannabinoids. Larger bottles often only contain more of the carrier (hemp seed oil, for example).
CBD can help restore balance in your body. Due to its health-promoting anti-inflammatory and calming properties, CBD is used to relieve a variety of discomforts; from muscle pain, lack of focus, anxiety, headache, migraine, nausea, sleeping problems, menstrual cramps, PMS, PMDD, stiff joints to a postnatal dip and during the menopause. If you choose Heal Mary, you also support us as a woman-owned local small business. We are grateful for that.
Due to the legislation in the Netherlands, we are unfortunately not allowed to make any statements about the effect of CBD oil.

Certainly! Our Drops come from cannabis plants grown organically under the Italian sun. During the growth process, the plants are constantly monitored, subjected to rigorous testing and the cultivation techniques are continuously optimised. After harvesting, the CBD is gently extracted and purified in a state-of-the-art facility in Europe, after which it is independently tested for pesticides, herbicides, fillers and other junk.
The overall production of Heal Mary CBD oil meets the highest quality requirements for medicines and food (GMP).
Peach 'n Love is 100% natural and made with organically certified ingredients as much as possible. This product has been developed according to the guidelines of Natrue, the highly regarded international organization for natural cosmetics. We are a small brand and certifications are not financially feasible for us, we prefer to invest in the products at the moment.
We are a small company, but we are serious about sustainability. We do what we can within the possibilities of a start-up.
Our product is organically grown and manufactured according to the GMP standard: which guarantees the best possible quality. We have invested in compostable, smart packaging and in bottles made of more sustainable, special violet glass. We do not use unnecessary boxes or filling material. Our printed matter is partly printed on eco paper. The gift card is made from elephant poop.
Peach 'n Love is made with mainly local ingredients and we work with local partners and a lab that operates sustainably. We can certainly do better. For example, we do not yet have a collection point, so we send all packages. Unfortunately, we are still too small to offer that option. With your help we can become even more sustainable: reuse the bottles as vases and be aware of returns.
