Medical Cannabis Benefits on Physical and Mental Health Still on the Rise
Cannabis is progressively getting legalized, and doctors are continually recommending marijuana for the treatment of pain, anxiety, and depression among other conditions.
Marijuana has two essential compounds: THC (the psychoactive compound), and CBD that has great therapeutic benefits. THC is good for instant pain relief, while CBD helps in treating skin issues, heart problems, nausea, and pain in the long term.
Cannabis works well in treating psychological problems. Actually, cannabis relieves anxiety and depression better than other pharmaceutical drugs since it has no side effects.
The Impact of Cannabis on Physical Health
THC and CBD in marijuana help in enhancing the gut function through interacting with body cells. Through this, cannabis has proven useful at easing Crohn’s and bowel syndrome symptoms.
Cannabis is a great solution to skin problems such as acne. Dermatologists recommend the use of CBD oil on the skin because it has zero side effects.
Cannabis also works well in treating heart diseases. CBD oil is highly effective for circulatory systems and lowers blood pressure levels.
You can use cannabis in treating several health conditions like:
- Muscle spasms
- Cancer
- Joint pain
- Back and neck pain
- Nausea
- Multiple sclerosis
- Appetite loss
- schizophrenia
Cannabinoids are the compounds responsible for physical health enhancement in cannabis. For cancer patients, marijuana helps in lowering the growth of tumor cells and increases appetite. Cannabis can similarly be used in treating epilepsies and reducing seizures both in adults and children.
The Impact of Cannabis on Mental Health
Marijuana has proven to work better than therapies and anti-depressants in treating mental health conditions. A Harvard report shows that marijuana has significant benefits to PTSD patients. More to this, cannabis is very promising in treating memory loss and mental health conditions.
While science-backed research shows that brain performance degrades by age, cannabis has proven useful in improving this condition. Regulated cannabis intake is good at improving brain capabilities, enhancing focus, and improving our learning abilities.
Once it gets into your bloodstream, cannabis will bring along significant relaxing effects to your body and support the sensory system through interfacing and transmitting relevant messages throughout your body parts.
