One of the most frequently asked questions about using CBD products is, “What is the right dose for me?”
The answer isn't the same for everyone. It depends on your personal constitution, the purpose of use, and the quality of the oil. Ayurveda also has an ancient and refined method of applying oil: the Petochi method – a natural application via the navel (nabhi) , which has a deeply balancing effect on the body.

Ayurveda and Cannabis: An Ancient Covenant

In Ayurveda—the traditional Indian health system—cannabis has been used as a medicinal herb for thousands of years. In ancient texts, the plant is called " Vijaya ," meaning "victory," referring to its ability to restore harmony and vitality.

The Petochi method (also called nabhi oiling ) is an Ayurvedic practice in which oil is applied to or around the navel. The navel is considered an energetic and physiological center connected to thousands of nerve pathways and blood vessels. This allows active ingredients such as CBDa (cannabidiolic acid) and CBGa (cannabigerolic acid) to be absorbed subtly but effectively into the body.

This method offers a gentle, non-oral route of absorption that supports the body without burdening the digestive system or liver. The Petochi Method is therefore a valuable addition to oral administration, suppositories, and topical applications with creams or balms.

Why CBDa from CBD Spain Is Unique

Many CBD oils on the market are heated (decarboxylated), which converts the original CBDa into CBD. At CBD Spain, the oil remains completely raw thanks to an ultrasonic extraction method that doesn't involve heating. This preserves CBDa, CBGa, terpenes, and flavonoids —just as nature intended.

CBDa is absorbed more quickly into the blood and often works more powerfully at the cellular level than regular CBD.
This makes the oil of higher therapeutic value and particularly suitable for subtle dosages and natural applications, such as the Petochi method.

The Advantage of Microdosing

Unlike many other producers , CBD Spain emphasizes microdosing – small, balanced doses of CBDa that help the body restore its own balance.

Microdoses:

• support the endocannabinoid system without overstimulation

• ensure a constant level in the blood

• minimize habituation and side effects

• fit perfectly with the Ayurvedic philosophy of “less is more”

Because CBDa is biologically more active and is absorbed faster, these low doses are often more effective than high doses of regular CBD .

Personal Eligibility and Purpose of Use

Everyone reacts differently to CBDa. Your sensitivity, vitality, and the balance of your endocannabinoid system determine how much you need.

Are you using CBDa specifically for recovery, pain relief, or relaxation? Then start with a low dose and gradually increase your dosage. If you're using it preventatively, to support general health and balance, one to two microdoses per day is often sufficient.

A sample schedule:

Observe carefully what happens. When you notice the desired balance has been achieved, stay at that level. Taking more doesn't add any value.

Various Applications of CBDa

CBDa can be used in different ways depending on your preference and intended purpose:

• Oral use (most common)
  The drops are taken under the tongue for rapid absorption through the oral mucosa. This is a direct and effective way to build a stable CBDa level.

• Petochi method (via the navel)
  Applying a few drops of oil in or around the navel supports absorption through the skin and nerve pathways. This has a deeply relaxing and harmonizing effect, especially for those experiencing stress, fatigue, or hormonal imbalances.

• Suppositories
  Ideal for systemic absorption or local support for abdominal or pelvic complaints. Absorption through the intestinal wall is efficient and potent.

• Cream or Balm (local use)
  For direct application to muscles, joints, or skin irritations. CBDa and terpenes have anti-inflammatory, cooling, and cell-renewing properties.

In summary

Ayurveda and modern cannabinoid science converge on one core principle: the body knows how to heal itself, given the right support.

CBD Spain's full-spectrum CBDa oils , through a sophisticated extraction process, preserve the purity and vitality of the plant. Combined with microdosing and applications such as the Petochi method , oral administration , suppositories , or creams , this provides a holistic way to restore balance to body and mind.
