Inflammation Reduction with Cannabis
Share
Inflammation often develops from acute, chronic, or auto-inflammatory disorders that can lead to compromised organ function.
Cannabis has been used as medicine for the treatment of inflammation for millennia, but its use in modern medicine has been hampered by a lack of scientific knowledge. Previous studies reported that cannabis extracts inhibited inflammatory responses in pre-clinical and clinical studies.
In multiple experimental models, several phyto-cannabinoids, including THC, CBD and CBG, exhibit activity against inflammation, for example, a high-CBD cannabis extract reduced the release of skin inflammation mediators
Similarly, a study on a mouse model of colitis showed that oral treatment with high-CBD cannabis extract led to a reduction in intestinal inflammation and hyper-motility
Moreover, two clinical trials on patients with Crohn’s disease reported that daily treatment with THC-rich cannabis flower had beneficial effects against the disease symptoms with no significant side effects and reduced the need for other medications
Consult your physician or a medical practitioner before using cannabis as an alternative medicine.
