CBD OIL AVAILABLE AT ELEMENTAL MEDICINE
We at Elemental Medicine are happy to announce that we’ve partnered with Trillium Botanicals to offer our patients so-called “CBD” oil. I say so-called, because the best way to use CBD (cannabidiol) is to include it in an extract of the whole hemp plant. Many CBD products sold at health food stores or online are extracts containing only CBD, which is the sort of thinking employed by the manufacturers of drugs. CBD without the synergistic elements available in the whole plant simply doesn’t work very well. All our plant medicines are extracts of the entire medicinal part of the plant, and this new hemp oil fits right in.
The first thing to emphasize is that our extract is a perfectly legal natural remedy that is free of THC, the constituent of the cannabis plant that causes the mind-altering effects. The extract is very calming and relaxing, but does not induce a feeling of being high, and won’t show up on drug tests. Many people find it to be a useful remedy for insomnia and anxiety, as it brings about a pleasant sense of well-being. It is also a good treatment for pain, used either internally, topically, or both together.
We chose Trillium Botanicals as a source for this natural medicine because it is a local company that grows organically and uses the best methods for extraction. The owner, Anthony D’Allesandro, is a very dedicated researcher committed to unraveling the potential of the cannabis plant for healing. Additionally, he agreed to make it available at a price that is roughly half of what you would pay at the health food store for similar products. We appreciate his willingness to offer this valuable natural medicine at a price that is more affordable.
