“Why TinctureBelle Tincture VS. Smoking

The benefit from smoking as a route of administration is instant action and the ability of the patient to self titrate the dose needed for relief.  Here we describe how patients can achieve similar quick acting relief  and the ability to control dose without smoking.

Tinctures are not new.  Until cannabis was banned in 1937, tinctures were the primary type of cannabis medicines.  Tinctures are essentially extractions of whole cannabis usually using the small buds and trim leaves.

The best way to use tinctures is sublingually (under the tongue). Titration or dose control is easily achieved by the number of dropper fulls a patient places under the tongue where the medicine is rapidly absorbed into the arterial system and is quickly transported to the brain and body.

One trick is to not swallow the dose as, if swallowed, absorption will be in the GI tract.  Many patients, though, add their tincture to a cup of tea of cranberry juice for easy delivery.  When tincture is used in a beverage, absorption will be slower than if absorbed under the tongue.  While tincture absorbed in an empty stomach is accomplished in minutes, conversion in the liver remains, as does the difficulty in titrating does.  A rule of thumb on dose is that patients receive benefit from 1-2 droppers full depending upon the tolerance of the patient and their own unique requirements.

Trial and error is usually required to acquire the appropriate and proper dose level for each individual.

All a patient need do with TinctureBelle Tinctures is use the desired amount, wait for the desired medical effects, and either use more or stop as the situation indicates.  TinctureBelle Tinctures are flavored for better taste.  They are best stored at room temperature.”–TinctureBelle Tinctures
