Q&A: Understanding Our Products Better
How do your cannabis products differ from others on the market today?
All Canna-Healing Company extracts are sourced locally in Kelowna, British Columbia. The plants are cultivated outdoors using all Mother Nature has provided for the most nutritionally abundant plants. This means you are getting the highest quality of cannabis. We pride ourselves on carrying only the highest quality ingredients in every way.
What are Healing Balms?
Products that are topically applied are commonly known as balms, creams, lotions or salves. They may have different uses for different needs depending on the ingredients. Our healing balms are a concentrated formulation of organic fats, local beeswax, whole plant cannabis and pure essential oils. Simply apply or massage a moderate amount of balm into the affected area as often as needed. The balms can be used by all ages including infants.
Are there differences between products labeled as Tinctures, Oils or Sublingual?
A tincture is a medicinal liquid solution traditionally made by infusing high proof alcohol with organic plant matter. Sublingual applies to how the medicine is administered. One of the most efficient ways is to let the solution rest under the tongue. The term 'oils' is often used to describe the carrier solution the extracts or isolates are blended with for internal use. The tinctures/oils can also be added to liquids or smoothies. For longevity oils and alcohol tinctures are best kept in the fridge if not consumed within 30 days.
What is the difference between consuming cannabis compared to smoking it?
Compared to smoking, cannabis edibles have a longer latency period. Edibles are often associated with the psychoactive effects from THC. The specific CBD molecule, commonly known for its anti-inflammatory, calming abilities will not get you high when consumed. The benefits of both varieties currently available can range from reducing stress and anxiety to relaxation which can help reduce chronic pain and inflammation in many individuals. The THC dominant edibles and oils can be very effective for sleep and chronic pain sufferers. Each person metabolizes edibles differently depending on experience and sensitivity so it's best to start slow especially if you're a novice consumer. Canna-Healing Company uses only the highest quality distillate from the same source all our extracts are cultivated. If you're trying to stop smoking or don't like the effects then edibles might be an ideal option for you.
Will I get a 'high' from using any of these products? Can I take too much?
This depends on the product being taken. Our balms do not produce any altering effects but instead provide relief for pain of most types, skin rashes or sensitivities from chemicals or burns. Even though they contain the known cannabinoid THC they do not cross the blood brain barrier when topically administered therefore you will not get high. This product is safe and highly effective for infants and children. Our oils are made with whole plant extract that is not heated like our edibles. Edibles can produce euphoric effects and should be taken carefully. None of our products have toxic effects to the body and are all safe for consumption, however please follow the instructions on packaging before ingesting or applying any of our products. We recommend consulting your health care professional before using any cannabis products. Questions are always welcomed through our site.
What is the benefit of whole plant extracts compared to isolated cannabinoids?
In order for the body to fully benefit from what cannabis has to offer it's important to understand what makes whole plant products different than ones using only isolated cannabinoids. Whole plant extracts can include over 400 different compounds. This includes a combination of vitamins, minerals, fats, lipids, terpenoids and over 100 different cannabinoids your body will understand beautifully. Alternatively an isolate is a single cell molecule containing only one cannabinoid. It comes in a white powder and is mixed with an oil. The colour is clear and has a shorter shelf life and a much larger amount of an isolate must be taken for the solution to have any effect on the body. This is because whole plant cannabis extract nourishes your endocannabinoid system which isolates can't quite accomplish due to the lack of nutrients present for assimilation. Ideally we want to achieve homeostasis which is your body's most ideal state of health. With consistency and high quality extracts the healing power of organic cannabis is extensive.
