Why Vaporize?? Some of the Health Benefits of Herbal Vaporization
- Vaporization produces no combustion by-products such as carbon monoxide, tar or other carcinogenic elements.
- Vapor is considerably cooler than smoke and less likely to damage lung tissue.
- Vaporization provides a purer, more concentrated effect and requires less of the sub-stance than if smoked or ingested.
- The substance is not degraded by digestive acids before entering the blood.
- There are no fillers or buffers as with pills.
- Vaporization acts quickly. The substance enters bloodstream more quickly than most methods.
- Digital precision and the rapid onset of effect help to establish an exact dose specific to each user.
The potential impact of digital herbal vaporization is enormous. On a consumer level over the next few years, digital vaporization will revolutionize both the aromatherapy and smoking cessation industries.
On a pharmaceutical level, medical vaporization will significantly enhance the industries of drug delivery, dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, and biotech.
Future generations will marvel at our barbaric practices of inhaling smoke and piercing our skin to receive medication.
The vast majority of herbs today are enjoyed by ingestion. Supplements may be taken in pill form, brewed into teas, or by simply eating the plant itself. The active ingredients of the plant, however, must pass through a series of obstacles that may degrade the plant's active elements before finally entering the blood stream and benefiting the user.
However, as digestive enzymes break down herbal remedies, they degrade their effect and sometimes even catalyze a change in the material. In addition, a time delay of noticeable effect often makes proper dosing a problem.
Ingestion is a relatively safe, but significantly inefficient way to benefit from herbs and medicines.
Inhalation is another choice and the most common form of this is smoking. Tobacco has been used for thousands of years. Millions of people have enjoyed the plant as an herbal aid, a religious and ritualistic device, and for recreational enjoyment.
Over the past 30 years we have finally developed the technology and medical advances to recognize the health dangers inherent in the combustion of this or any herb. Yet few herbal delivery options have been developed to replace combustion.
Over the next few years, vaporization promises to be a prominent alternative to current methods of drug delivery and aromatherapy.
It’ is widely known that herbal smoke contains many terrible hazardous toxins and carcinogens that we really shouldn’t be inhaling, such as carbon monoxide, tar and other pollutants. These toxins are widely considered to be the leading cause of cigarette related cancers. The toxins are released when burning the herb at high temperatures, 1200+ degrees!
Most herbs only contain a few ingredients we want to inhale. These herbs vaporize around 180-200 degrees. Vaporizing your herbs is the way to go because the vapor is 95% pure. Vaporizers gently heat up your herb until the active ingredients turn into a vapor and are released. This occurs while not burning the plant.
A recent study by California NORML found that vaporizers are an optimal way to use herbs, effectively reducing (or eliminating) toxins while delivering the active ingredients we want.
Another study in 2006 by Leiden University researchers was conducted on the high end Volcano herbal vaporizer, finding some important information.
Results in the 2006 study showed that with Vaporizers a safe and effective herbal delivery system seems to be available to patients. The final pulmonal uptake of active ingredients is comparable to the smoking of them, while avoiding the respiratory dis-advantages of smoking.
Burning homeopathic herbs through the process of combustion is the oldest method known to man. Releasing the active ingredients of homeopathic herbs does not have to occur with combustion.
Rather, vaporizing has the same effect as smoking, but does so, without burning or combusting. Vaporizing eliminates combustion by-products and unwanted odors. By-products resulting from combustion include tar, ash, CO2, carbon monoxide and other gases & carcinogens, many of which are known to increase the likelihood of various cancers. In addition, because smoking is basically breathing in fire, your lungs and throat are subjected to high amounts of heat, which is damaging no matter what the substance is.
Combustion is also known to decrease and destroy a large percentage of the active ingredients contained in your homeopathic herbs. Studies have shown that 25-50% of the active ingredients contained in tobacco are destroyed by the act of combustion itself! So not only does smoking create many unhealthy and unwanted side effects, but a large percentage of the homeopathic herbs active ingredients are lost in the process. Smoking blocks taste and destroys the natural flavors of your homeopathic herbs.
In contrast, vaporizing warms your tobacco or any non toxic homeopathic herb to a temperature below the level of combustion. The resulting effect, volatizes the active ingredient's of your homeopathic herbs in the form of vapor. Since vaporizing does not use a flame or fire to ignite the material, none of the active ingredients are lost in the process. You're getting no smoke and more of the natural tastes and flavors of your substance. Da Buddha Vaporizer has the same effect as smoking and is a healthy alternative to enjoying tobacco and homeopathic herbs.
Pure vapor contains little to no tar and is much cooler to inhale through your lungs than smoke. Pure vapor has practically no carcinogenic elements making it a healthier alternative to smoke!
The vapor itself is slightly visible when exhaled and does not create a smell like smoking does. In fact, there are no odors at all contained in pure vapor. Also, because vapor contains no smoke, the natural tastes and flavors found in your tobacco and homeopathic herbs are abundantly present!
