It's tax time . . . in an election year . . . Reliable pain relief becomes very important to the masses suffering from tax time blues and, oh, yes, that constant messaging that comes at us from all directions during an election season that goes on despicably longer than any other democracy's. Only seven more days in February to take advantage of our get-one-free special with the CBD-infused oil.



When we first put our products out to the public nearly six years ago, we did so without expectation, without making claims. We asked the public to help us understand this plant and this medicine and they did. We have hundreds of testimonials on our www.sistersofthevalley.biz website and on our facebook page reviews.



Our CBD oil is not pure plant oil. If you need pure plant oil, you need to be purchasing the gelcaps (more on that a bit further along). Our CBD-infused oil, the same recipe we have been making and selling for over five years now, is made by cooking high-CBD medicinal cannabis plant (hemp because of the low THC content) in liquid coconut oil at low temperatures and then straining the plant from the oil. The process infuses the CBD into the oil. Then we add a bit of blood orange extract for flavoring, because the liquid coconut oil after being infused with plant has an unseemly odor. The blood orange extract makes a mild taste and we find that we have no problems getting children, babies, or pets to take the oil.



Our customers report using the CBD-infused oil to prevent migraines and seizures, to allow sleep to come (although it's not a sleeping agent, it does relax one to enable sleep), for health maintenance, for joint and muscle pain, for stomach problems, for anxiety, and some take it as part of a daily health maintenance routine.



The CBD-infused oil has only that one healing compound of the cannabis plant in it, as it is mainly coconut oil, with a small percentage of CBD. Each of our bottles come in 1,000 mg of CBD in a 2 ounce bottle (double-strength), 500 mg in a 2 ounce bottle (regular strength), and then we have smaller sizes, one ounce bottles that have half the potency. A one ounce bottle of double-strength has 500 mg and a one ounce bottle of regular strength has 250 mg.



Each dropper is approximately one teaspoon and there are 12.5 teaspoons (approx.) in a 2 ounce bottle. We tell folks, you must experiment, start with a third of a dropper, increase dosage if you get no result, decrease if you feel it affected you too strongly. Or, if you are trying to get, say, 10 mg a day of CBD, then you know that a two-ounce bottle of regular strength CBD-infused oil with 500 mg of CBD will last fifty days. If you want double that, it will last 25 days.



The gelcaps are not made of liquid coconut oil and cannabis. The gelcaps are made of pure plant, resulting in what some call 'full spectrum' oil. There are no additives; it's all oil of the plant. Scientists say that there are over one hundred and twenty separately identified healing compounds in the cannabis plant. It's definitely a female plant, because she's complicated. From this one paper, one can glean 66 cannabinoids, 12 simple amines, 34 non-cannabinoid phenals, terpenes, Vitamin K and more. The gelcaps represent all that one plant has to give, processed without chemicals (cold water extraction) into oil, a pure plant full spectrum cannabis oil. Unfortunately, our lab only measures CBD and it lumps three different CBDs together as a total, as if that's a really meaningful number.



Our gelcaps have over 30 mg of CBD each, plus all that other medicine that science hasn't quite quantified. But science is coming. The sisters are not allowed to do extraction on our little farm in California, so we acquire them in bulk from Colorado and we have to buy in lots of $12K to $15K in order to get them to market at an affordable price for our customers.



When we get them, we shift them into smaller batches, subject each to a moon ceremony blessing, and test each batch related to that moon cycle. One batch from the provider is tested multiple times, and we have found very little variance (31 mg of CBD per gelcap to 33 mg of CBD per gelcap). Always less than .3% THC. It's hemp, but it is not industrial hemp.



We make all our CBD-infused oils and tinctures from scratch, here on the farm. We make all our own salves and soaps. We began offering the gelcaps two years in at the request of our customers. We are preparing to offer bulk plant, too, for those who wish to have it for tea, for smoking, or for cooking. Of course, you can get the seeds and grow your own, too. We like to think of our Wee Bairn proprietary strain being grown on windowsills and in gardens everywhere.
