What is a Tincture and How do they Work

One of the most common questions people have regarding #cannabis is exactly what it is, and what types of cannabis tinctures you can have and how they compare to other products.

 

Given that they are similar to the #CBD #oil that you see, a lot of times people mistake it for that. But what can you do differently with it?

 

That’s what we’re about to go into here, with the difference between a tincture and other products, and of course, why it matters.

 

What is a tincture

 

If you see #tinctures, you’re probably familiar with the little droppers that are attached to the caps of this.

But it’s pretty much a solution that has an alcohol solvent, along with animal extracts, and they’re oftentimes quite concentrated.

 

So, consuming them like you would a normal drink is not a good thing to do, but instead a drop or two goes a long way.

You need to use the dropper with this, because otherwise too much can impact the state of your body and mind as well.

 

How do they Work?

 

They’ve been around for centuries, and they are actually the main choice for delivering herbal medicine to others.

 

Why is that the case though?

 

They actually have a very powerful nature to them, and they do have higher concentration of compounds within this, and they can hit the affected areas quite fast.

 

Most of these used to be made with both #vinegar and #glycerin, but today, glycerin is on the list, but #alcohol is the main choice in these instances too.

 

The solvents are able to dissolve the #compounds of the organic matter that’s there, which is a fancy name for plant parts, and take the #ingredients that are out of them.

 

The process then brings those compounds directly to the body, and it does it so much faster than other sorts of means, and it’s a lot more potent than others too, sometimes more than #edibles in some cases too.

 

CBD Tinctures?

 

CBD tincture sis pretty much alcohol-based extracts, and most of the time, the manufacturer may use a higher level of alcohol to extract this, and in other cases, they use glycerin.

 

There are CBD tinctures and THC tinctures, and the main difference is the CBD one is CBD alcohol, and the THC one is THC alcohol infusions, and of course, neither of them are completely devoid of the other component either.

 

How to Use

 

You can use this in one of two ways.

The first, is you take that dropper and put either a drop or two directly underneath the tongue, and the effects happen within an hour of you doing this type of method.

 

The second way is additives. Take a food or a drink that you have, put it in, and consume it. While it does take longer for this to happen, if you don’t feel like buying or making your own edibles, this is a good way to do it.

 

The tinctures are not good to be used with application topically and aren’t considered good topicals in general.

 

The best way to start with tinctures is one drop, and then go from there. If you don’t feel the effects within an hour or so, you should then try again, or try another day in order to see if those effects are right for you.

 

The use of tinctures is important for so many who are interested in making sure that they get the most effects that they can out of this, and here, you learned about it.
