Care By Design offers small, portable tincture sprays that come in a range of CBD to THC ratios. CBD or cannabidiol has become the darling of the medical cannabis world due to its effectiveness to relieving seizures in children, but its medical uses go far beyond the saving of children’s lives. This sparked a surge in CBD laws being enacted in otherwise non-MMJ states, and a rise in high CBD products made from industrial hemp, often oversees in unclean factories.
However, contrary to many CBD products on the market made with hempseed oil or other industrial products, Care By Design is crafted locally with high quality, organically grown California cannabis. Whole plant extracted, Supercritical CO2 cannabis oil is mixed with pure coconut oil to create this simple, safe, and effective product.
Unlike traditional edibles that can take up to an hour and a half to take full effect, tinctures take advantage of sublingual uptake, meaning effects begin after just a few minutes and will peak in under an hour. When medicating, start with 1-2 sprays under the tongue, waiting 30 minutes before increasing. However, because the base of these tinctures is coconut oil, they can be sprayed on food as well for alternative medicating.
Care By Design offers 5 different ratios of CBD to THC in their tincture sprays, allowing patients to tailor their relief to their preferences. These choices start with the non-psychoactive 18:1– CBD Dominant and 8:1 — CBD Bridge. At such high ratios of CBD to THC, these tinctures are useful for chronic pain relief without the narcotic (and highly addictive) side effects of prescription pills. Their anxiolytic properties make these two options great for panic attacks and PTSD as well.
Once you range into the smaller ratios, psychoactive effects are more punctuated in large doses: making the 4:1 — CBD Harmony and 2:1 — CBD Synergy the choice for more moderate pain relief, inflammation, social anxiety, and appetite stimulation. Those interested in adopting a whole plant, holistic approach to cannabis as a supplement may also prefer these levels.
Finally, the 1:1 — Balance spray allows for the even allowance of THC and CBD, assisting depression with mood elevation, giving relief from migraines, and offering neuroprotective effects. For those who prefer even higher levels of THC, there is a THC only spray released under the Absolute Xtracts brand that is the sativas lovers tincture of choice.
Packaging highlights include THC and CBD levels listed per ml, as well as per individual spray, to assist in precise dosing. Only a brief visit to the Care By Design website reveals the devotion they have to healthy and safe medicating. They continue this mission by lab testing their tinctures for both potency and contaminants with Sonoma Lab Works, an extra step most companies in our industry are unwilling to take. Each 5 ml bottle contains the equivalent of 30 sprays, and a 15 ml size is also available for more frequent users.
As a sativa leaning patient, myself, I was uncertain as to whether I would find enough uses for these tinctures — especially the higher CBD ratios. However, it wasn’t long before the sprays made themselves essential to my day. Experimenting with the best tincture for the job, I found relief from 4 migraines (1 rather severe), a bout with back pain from acting like I was in my 20’s again, weary and tired legs from long, exploring walks while on vacation, more than a half dozen moments of anxiety from this stressful world of ours and the downswings of depression they sometimes cause, and my constant battle with arthritis. My eyes have certainly been opened to the benefits of CBD rich products like these Care By Design tinctures, and no matter the symptoms you desire to escape, they have the discreet and convenient option for which you are looking.
