You’ve probably heard a lot about Cannabidiol (CBD) and its medicinal benefits. But did you know you can skip the creams and supplements and go straight to the source with CBD infusions? Safe, fast-acting, and nearly 100% bioavailable, therapeutic CBD is the latest trend in therapeutic infusions.
What is Therapeutic CBD?
Completely natural and extracted from the hemp plant, a recent patented process from PICO IV has made CBD readily available in a sterile form that is >99.9% pure and usable in IV therapy. CBD is just one of many components in cannabis and 100% legal in all 50 states. The PICO process isolates CBD from all of the other components and therefore does not cause any type of high.
CBD has been available in tinctures, capsules, food items and oils, and topical ointments, each with their own uses and effectiveness. Now clinics are offering intravenous CBD as well, for more effective administration.
Oral CBD
Taking CBD orally in food items is one of the most common ways to ingest it. It seems to help with general pain and have a moderate calming effect. Oral CBD in general has a high effectiveness rating, though less than 30% is bioavailable after traveling through the digestive system and CBD quality can vary widely.
Topical CBD
Topical CBD can be helpful for treating surface-level aches and pains, such as a sore neck or twisted ankle. However, there is no regulation for how much CBD needs to be in a product to be effective, so finding the right formulation can be tricky.
Intravenous CBD
Intravenous administration of CBD is the most direct way to deliver CBD, allowing it to travel through the body more efficiently than other methods. There are no additives unlike oral and topical applications, and the absorption rate is nearly 100%, allowing the full spectrum of benefits to be realized.
Benefits of CBD Infusions
Therapeutic CBD has been linked to numerous health benefits, including (but not limited to):
Relief from Pain and Inflammation
Therapeutic CBD through IV therapy enables direct interaction with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which regulates inflammation and pain perception. Therapeutic CBD therefore may provide relief from GI symptoms associated with irritable bowel or Crohn’s disease or pain from autoimmune diseases such as arthritis.
Reduced Stress and Anxiety
Therapeutic CBD infusions may help to regulate cortisol levels and promote a sense of calm. Many patients report feeling relaxed and mentally clear shortly after treatment.
Better Quality of Sleep
By addressing the root causes of poor sleep, like stress, pain, and anxiety, CBD IV therapy may help promote better sleep patterns. The fast-acting nature of the treatment may improve the patient’s relaxation and sleep quality on the same day.
Improved Recovery and Detoxification
Therapeutic CBD is thought to aid in cellular repair and toxin elimination. CBD’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties can help protect cells from damage, while the IV delivery replenishes essential nutrients and fluids
Is CBD Treatment Worth It?
It’s absolutely worth giving therapeutic CBD treatments a try, especially if you already take CBD through other methods. While any form of CBD can be helpful for numerous ailments, IV therapy is more direct and fast-acting, so you don’t need to waste time (or money) with trial and error finding the right product for you.
