CBD
The initials CBD are short for cannabinoid, one of over 200 natural compounds in cannabis. CBD from cannabis has these recognized medical properties:
- Anti-Tumoral
- Anti-Convulsant
- Anti-Inflammatory
- Anxiety reducing agent
- Analgesic – pain killer
- Anti-spasmodic
Hemp
A distinct variety of the Cannabis sativa plant, traditionally grown to maximize the fibers in the stalk of the plant or to maximize seed production. Industrial hemp is making a comeback in the US where, up until the 1930s, it used to be one of the largest crops cultivated in the country.MCT (Medium-chain triglyceride)
MCT oil
A medium chain triglyceride oil, which is fractionated coconut oil. It is 100% safe for canine consumption (and humans use it extensively as well). MCT oil is completely neutral, very stable and has a long shelf life, unlike pure coconut oil or olive oil. It can also be stored without refrigeration.
Tincture
This is a liquid that is made by combining one or more active ingredients with non-active components in a precise ratio and potency.
THC or tetrahydrocannabinol (also THCd-9)
This is the chemical responsible for most of cannabis’s psychological effects. It acts much like the cannabinoid chemicals made naturally by the body and has significant value for pain relief. THC is toxic for dogs and must be carefully administered in the right ratio and potency for maximum medicinal benefits. THC is limited (0.3% by dry weight).And what “defines” Right:Ratio?
Right:Ratio uses a custom-made blend of cannabinoids, including terpenes and herbals, in a medium-chain triglyceride oil (MCT) that can be safely consumed by humans or dogs.
