Question 1

What Is Spagyric Extraction?

Posted by brian on December 12, 2017

hemp spagyric extraction We tout our full spectrum hemp oil is a better medicinal product because of our unique spagyric extraction process. But ‘what does that mean and why is it better‘, you must be asking.

Alchemy is over 4 thousand years old and the practice is meant to purify and perfect objects. How it relates to herbal medicine and remedies is through spagyrics. The spagyric process involves fermentation, extraction, purification, recombination and ending up with a raw tincture.

All of this is done without harsh chemicals, only organic alcohol and in vacuum so heat doesn’t destroy medicinal plant elements.

But wait, isn’t CO ₂ (carbon dioxide) extraction the hottest trend right now?

There has been much innovation in the last few years in hemp extraction and CO2 is a better choice than some. But since it’s a liquid gas, it only extracts the non-polar parts of the plant, resulting in a limited extraction of the entire plant matter. Then there is the subject of limited bioavailability. CO2 extracts are non-water-soluble and since our body is made up of 70% water, the body degrades the CO2 extraction in the digestion process.

How does hemp spagyric extraction work?

The first step is Soxhlet Extraction using the whole plant in a hermetically sealed vessel that operates under vacuum and using only organic alcohol, which creates a full cannabinoid and terpene tincture. This process can take 6-8 hours, which is why we price our products at the high end of the market.

Step two in our unique spagyric extraction process is to take the leftover plant material from step one and burn it to a white ash (Calcination) to extract the minerals and salts. Then it’s mixed with distilled water, filtered and evaporated to crystallize.

The last step is to take the raw hemp tincture from step one and recombined with the crystallized mineral salts. This product now contains all of the acids, oils and minerals in a purified and concentrated form.

We then take this pure and raw complete full spectrum hemp tincture and dilute it with fractionated coconut oil to create the desired potency. We only create high potency hemp oil products as they provide the highest medicinal value.

What is full spectrum hemp oil?

Posted by brian on November 27, 2017

full spectrum cannabinoids Most people who are familiar with hemp oil interchange its name with CBD oil. What a lot of users are not aware of is another subset of hemp oil call ‘full spectrum hemp oil’. What differentiates full spectrum from the standard CBD oil is the number of cannabinoids in the product. The hemp plant is made up of over 100 cannabinoids (chemical compound), but the 2 most recognized are CBD (Cannabidiol) and THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol). There are several other cannabinoids that have medicinal healing properties. The most common are: THC (plus A and V), CBD (plus A and V), CBN, CBG (plus A), CBC. While there is no regulation on how many cannabinoids qualify for ‘full spectrum’ status, Zion Medicinals’ full spectrum hemp extract has 7 cannabinoids to give the user the highest quality and medicinal healing benefits. Research has also found that a combined CBD and THC content product produces what’s called the ‘entourage effect’ and the final products works better together to achieve an enhanced result.

Does CBD oil get you high?

Posted by brian on November 27, 2017

does cbd oil get you high This question is probably the most asked and/or hesitation when a person is thinking about hemp oil treatment. To answer this question you need to understand cannabis. Cannabis contains over 100 cannabinoids, but the two prominent ones are CBD (Cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). CBD is a non-psychoactive element that has numerous medicinal properties. THC is the psychoactive component that people often associate with marijuana/weed and will give you a ‘high’ effect.

Industrial hemp, which most CBD oils are made from have a high CBD and low THC ratio. More specifically, most CBD oil companies process out all other cannabinoids (including THC) to leave only the CBD. This means that CBD hemp oil will never give you a psychoactive ‘high’ effect. One other piece of information is in regards to a term called ‘full spectrum’. Read more in the specific FAQ topic.

What is cbd oil?

Posted by Brian on September 6, 2017

CBD hemp oil Technically, CBD is one of at least 100 cannabinoids in cannabis (hemp & marijuana). CBD oil does not come from hemp seeds. Some CBD oil companies will isolate the CBD from the plant and sell that. Others believe that a full spectrum product is more beneficial (like Zion Medicinals) and will use many cannabinoids in the final product (including .3% or below of THC).
