The first rule of medicine is do no harm. In an unregulated marketplace with limited knowledge and lots of opportunity there are bound to be bad actors. The FDA did spot checks and found only 30% of the CBD labels were accurate.
Having someone teach you how to discern quality is priceless.
Holistic Caring has taken on the duty to vet quality medicines because we care deeply about our clients health, safety, and goals to achieve. Good medicines work well, bad ones disappoint and might complicate plans. We only partner with ethical producers who do the right thing, and stand by clients with transparent customer service.
There is a lot of hype, but no definitive claims can be made on CBD doing anything specific in people because we haven’t been allowed to study it. That is changing now but we will evolve slowly and exact protocols from the FDA are years off.
In the meantime, companies who are using Good Manufacturing Practices and comply with lab testing ensure safe dosing. Medicines must be tested for:
- potency – total milligrams can range from 300-3000. Gauge dosing by mgs/ml.
- purity – must be free from pesticides, molds, heavy metals, contaminants
- COA = the certificate of analysis with cannabinoid and terpene profiles
- FLOW= flower derived, lab tested, organic, whole plant full spectrum is ideal
CBD is very safe at low doses of 10-20mgs 2-4 times per day to fine tune and support the ECS. Dosing is very individualized, but generally more serious conditions need more medicine. Most people find relief at 20 mgs per day for mild inflammation, relaxation, and improved sleep. Small amounts are generally stimulating and larger doses fatigue.
Interactions are limited under 50mgs per day but sensitive people with other medications should work with a cannabis clinician to determine safe use. Space an hour apart from other pharmaceuticals and be sure to take with some food and hydration. Dizziness is common as is dry mouth, faster heart rate, and a jittery or sedated feeling based on dosing. These are temporary and generally fade in a week or so.
Tinctures are the most common route to take CBD systemically – into the bloodstream. That’s how it can travel through the body to heal every area, and the blood vessels in the mouth are like a sponge. Swish and hold the drops in the mouth for 60 seconds and then swallow. Wait 5 minutes to eat or drink, but then have water and a snack to help boost the absorption levels to optimize efficacy.
Take the medicines consistently on a daily basis for at least 30-60 days to evaluate efficacy. Cumulative benefits improve conditions over time, so be patient.
