How Can Cannabis
Help You Heal?
Cannabis works within the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). This is the body's largest neuro-receptor network and is responsible for returning the body to balance after stress. Our ECS system contains a molecule known as anandamide or the "Bliss" molecule.
Inflamation
CB2 receptors are found throughout the body and are responsible for meditating inflammation. CBD is anti-inflammatory as it binds primarily to CB2 receptors. Inflammation is the root of most dis-ease.
ADHD
In addition to primary cannabinoids, cannabis contains terpenes. Pinene is a terpene known for increasing focus and attention. It can also be found in essential oils.
Healing from Trauma
Cannabis supports the body in unwinding stores stress from trauma, and works in the amygdala to decrease fear memories associated with trauma.
Anxiety
The ECS is responsbile for regulating the flow of all neurotransmitters in the brain. Cannabis works to restore balance in these neurotransmitters that ease anxiety.
Autoimmune Disorders
Dr. Ethan Russo discovered "endocannabinoid deficency" in patients who suffer with IBS, Migraines, and Fibromyalgia. Endocannabinioids are supplemnted through the cannabis plant.
Chronic Pain
Cannabis has been successfully used to treat chronic pain and limit the use of opioids. This occurs primarily through the increase in circulating "bliss" through the body as well as cananbis' anti-inlammatory effects.
PTSD
Not only does alleviate anxiety and decrease nervous system activity, it works in the amygdala or the brain's fear center to forget traumatic memories.
Neurodivergence
Plant medicine can help improve focus, decrease anxiety, promote sleep, and decrease oversensitivity and stimulation by relaxing the nervous system and creating balance.
Imflamatory Bowel Disease
Cannabis can help alleviate symptoms of nausea and pain as well as stimulate a healthy appetite for those suffering with Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis and IBS.
