Delta 8 has been in the news for quite some time. Not only has it earned fame due to its recreational properties, but also for the various therapeutic properties it possesses.
Delta 8 is available in a range of categories. You have Delta 8 flowers and vape oil for smoking and vaping, creams and gels for topical application, beverages, edibles, and many more. Delta 8 tincture is also a good consumable option if you don't approve of the other consumption methods.
This article will discuss Delta 8 tinctures, and how to make use of these properly for the best efficacy.
Are Delta 8 Tinctures And Oils The Same?
Many manufacturers label tinctures as oils. A majority of articles and blogs on Google also use the terms ‘tinctures' and ‘oils' interchangeably. But that's not factually correct!
This is because while making a tincture, Delta 8 is dissolved in an alcoholic base or a glycerin base. On the other hand, oil is made by mixing Delta 8 with carrier oil like coconut oil or MCT oil.
So, Delta 8 tinctures are radically different from Delta 8 oils. Even the primary ways of consuming both products are different.
How To Consume A Delta 8 Tincture?
There are three best ways to consume Delta 8 tincture for the best effects. They are-
- Sublingual Application
This is one of the most interesting consumption methods and differentiates Delta 8 tincture from oil right away. In this method, put a drop or two of the tincture under the tongue. Now give it some time (about 30- 60 seconds) for absorption. It takes a while before you can feel the effects. The effects usually last for a few hours.
- Mixing It With Beverages And Food
Another way to consume Delta 8 tincture is by adding it to your beverages or recipes. But while you're at it, make sure to use a hand blender to blend the solution thoroughly in a liquid. Otherwise, it will float on the top like oil! And if you prefer it in your daily diet, just add it to the recipe and mix well before consuming.
- Topical Application
Delta 8 tincture can also be applied topically like you would with a Delta 8 cream or gel! The deal is just like applying a cream or oil. Put two to three drops of the tincture and rub it on your skin. This is also a great way to use tinctures if you are uncomfortable with the consumption methods or don't like the taste of the substance itself.
What's The Shelf Life Of A Delta 8 Tincture?
If stored properly in a cool and dry place, away from exposure to sunlight, a Delta 8 tincture lasts for two whole years! So, store it properly, and don't expose it to sunlight to retain its sanctity and efficacy.
