Frequently Asked Questions
While CBD is a naturally-occurring component of marijuana, it does not cause a "high" like some may think. The CBD we offer is derived directly from the hemp plant, which is a cousin of the marijuana plant. Industrial hemp is defined by US law as cannabis having 0.3% or less delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content by dry weight.
HEALER is a trusted company in the hemp industry, comprised of health care professionals with broad experience within the pharmaceutical industry. They are one of the original companies who worked to legitimize the hemp oil as a holistic alternative in the United States. Their brand of clinically driven, broad-spectrum, hemp-derived CBD products are only available through healthcare professionals. These highly concentrated formulations are wrapped in multiple layers of technology designed to enhance the potential for therapeutic effect.
If an extract is full-spectrum, this means it contains all phytochemicals naturally found in the plant, including CBD, trace cannabinoids, terpenes, and essential oils. Full-spectrum extracts from hemp also come with a negligible THC content — below 0.3%
Although non-psychoactive, full-spectrum CBD can give you a false positive during a drug test, especially if you consume high doses of CBD oil daily. That’s when the broad-spectrum CBD comes in.
Like full-spectrum CBD, broad-spectrum CBD contains cannabidiol and all the other compounds within the plant. However, it goes through an additional process to remove the trace amounts of THC, completely removing it after the initial extraction.
When a therapeutic substance that likes to be transported in fat needs to be taken orally, making it so the substance can be transported in water can enhance the amount that actually gets used by the body. This can be sprayed directly in the mouth and swallowed immediately or added to drink or food.
Because of the way the water soluble CBD is absorbed, the effects can be up to 10x more effective than the oil equivalent since your body is able to absorb almost 100% of the cannabinoids into your system. Using a special technique, the oil compounds are reduced so that they are small enough for the body to process the CBD as it would any other food stuff that isn't an oil.
Drug tests do not screen for CBD because it does not cause intoxicating effects and is not an illegal controlled substance. Nevertheless, people who use CBD may still fail a drug test due to products that may be contaminated with THC or have improper labeling. That’s why the products that we sell, are 3rd party tested, to remain compliant with state and federal regulations.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: There is not enough reliable information about the safety of taking products containing cannabidiol if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should avoid taking CBD products.
Parkinson’s disease: Cannabidiol may make muscle movement and tremors worse in people with Parkinson’s disease. Therefore, CBD products should be avoided in patients with Parkinson’s.
History of hypersensitivity to cannabidiols or any of the ingredients in the product

Do not take CBD Products if you are allergic to any of its ingredients, including cannabidiol.
