WHAT IS CBD OIL?

Removing CBD from a hemp plant for oral or topical use involves stripping away plant matter via a solvent-based or solventless extraction process. Post-extraction, the result is a gooey matter that contains high concentrations of CBD, one of over 100 compounds that naturally occur within cannabis and hemp plants. The CBD extract is then mixed with a carrier oil such as MCT or hemp-seed oil. The result is a product that can be infused into ingestible mediums, such as tinctures. 

The carrier oil allows for an increase in bioavailability, meaning a smooth and potent transfer from the tincture bottle to your digestive system to your bloodstream. Once CBD tincture oil enters the bloodstream, it begins to interact with an important string of receptors called the endocannabinoid system. This system is responsible for regulating various fundamental processes in the human body. 

Some of these processes include hormone control, pain sensation, histamine response, mood & memory, regulation of circadian rhythms, appetite increase, and more! Humans have millions of endocannabinoid receptors throughout the body that are heavily concentrated in the brain, gut, and skin. CBD can manage and improve ailments that plague these areas.

CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system by binding to various receptors in the body to create a state of homeostasis, also known as equilibrium in the body when all processes function harmoniously. In essence, CBD can be an essential factor in both mental and physical well being.

CBD OIL vs. TINCTURE: IS THERE A DIFFERENCE?

Simply put, CBD tincturescontain CBD oil that is mixed with a carrier oil to make proper dosing easier as well as to increase the bioavailability of the CBD compound itself. While the term "CBD Oil" is used interchangeably in the hemp and cannabis industries, it technically refers to the CBD extract that can be used in a range of products, including edibles, topicals, and vape products. 

WHAT IS CBD GOOD FOR?

Where do we begin? CBD has a list of beneficial properties that can supplement wellness in people of all ages, abilities, and conditions. It is important to note that the FDA does not approve CBD products derived from hemp or cannabis for medical use for any conditions. You should consult your doctor before using CBD for any medical reason.

That being said, there is a wide range of anecdotal evidence on the internet, along with new scientific research that reveals itself every week regarding the following benefits of CBD:

Pain Management with CBD

Chronic Pain:Whether from an injury, arthritis, or a larger issue that causes fatigue and general discomfort, CBD is an excellent supplement for pain management. The endocannabinoid receptors throughout the body that manage the sensation of pain. CBD binds to these receptors. Subsequently, the effect is relief. 

Migraines: While the information on migraine relief is limited, some studies suggest full-spectrum CBD tinctures (that contain trace amounts of THC due to use of the whole hemp plant during the extraction process) do a better job at tackling the often excruciating effects in tandem. It is important for consumers to understand that broad-spectrum CBD must contain less than 0.3% THC to be considered legal for sale in the United States.

Knowledge Check: CBD vs. THC

Nausea:Similar to Migraines, full-spectrum CBD tinctures will be the most effective at relieving nausea. Regardless, this has been studied more frequently in recent years due to the rise in chemotherapy patients who use CBD in a medical setting, on top of their standard opioid prescription, may see an increase in pain relief. 

Inflammation

Mood Management with CBD

Anxiety

Scientifically speaking, concentrated CBD directly activates serotonin receptors when consumed, thereby creating an anti-anxiety effect. Serotonin is the naturally occurring chemical in the human body that plays a key role in stabilizing mood, happiness, and the feeling of well being. 

Insomnia

Serotonin dually plays a part in regulating sleep. Higher levels or more active levels of serotonin could potentially improve mood disorders that affect sleep. Since regular use of CBD tinctures will promote a consistent interaction with serotonin receptors, and depression tends to be a common cause of insomnia, it is thought that CBD may help regulate sleep patterns in those who suffer from the condition.

*Please note that the FDA does not approve any CBD products for medical use.

Beauty and skin with CBD

Skin

CBD has incredible effects on the skin. It is packed with nutrients and antioxidants that provide the skin a boost in overall health. Antioxidants provided by ingestion of CBD can help to reverse the effects of free radical damage, and in some cases, can clear up acne. The anti-inflammatory benefits can also reduce swelling, puffiness, and redness in the skin. When using CBD tinctures for skin health, it is recommended that you continue a daily dose for 30-60 days for desired results. 

Hair

CBD is full of fatty acids that can promote hair growth when ingested. If you notice your locks are more shiny and strong after using CBD regularly for some time, you can thank our tincture! Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids are essential for beauty, and the body doesn't make them itself. With long term use, you'll notice 

Other Notable Benefits of CBD

CBD is useful for everyone, including those of you who are perfectly healthy. Tinctures can be taken as a preventative measure. By using CBD tinctures as a dietary supplement,  it is possible that you'll keep inflammation at bay  - reducing the risk of neurological disorders, cancer and even metabolic disease as the body ages. For women, CBD Oil may help with PMS. 

CAN CBD TINCTURES GET ME HIGH?

No. Hemp-based CBD products contain such low amounts of THC, if any at all. THC is the psychoactive compound in cannabis and hemp, and hemp plants contain a significantly lower concentration of THC in comparison. You will not feel high after ingesting CBD tincture that has less than 0.3% THC content. 

When taking a dose of CBD tincture, you can either swallow it, or you can put it under your tongue for up to 60 seconds to increase absorption through the blood vessels in your mouth. With regard to dosing, we suggest you follow our rule of "start low and go slow."

You may wait up to one hour to feel the effects depending on various factors, including your biological makeup (some people process CBD faster and in higher quantities than others) and whether you've eaten right before taking it. Eating a meal before ingesting CBD tinctures can increase bioavailability because your stomach is already digesting - meaning less CBD will be lost by the time it reaches your liver. 

WILL CBD TINCTURES SHOW UP ON A DRUG TEST?

Using hemp-based CBD products will not produce a drug test. CBD tinctures are an excellent option for everyone, no matter your profession or where they live. If a drug test may be required in your future, we recommend taking precautions when using CBD as certain products contain traces of THC. Here is a breakdown of what to look out for:

CBD tinctures manufactured withbroad-spectrum hemp oil or CBD isolate combined with a carrier oil are considered "THC free". 

Full-spectrum hemp oiltinctures contain trace amounts of THC that may show up on a drug test.

This is a standard across the nation, making it fully accessible to those who may not live in an area that offers CBD in a retail setting.
