Can we talk about for a minute? Hereโs a quick rundown of SOME of the 100+ compounds found in the h**p plant and what they can specifically target in the body. Huge thanks to my friend Marlies who recently shared this info!๐คฉ
When choosing a formula for pain, how do you know whatโs going to help?
First, experimentation is key. You may need to try different strengths and different products and also play around with dosing. Now letโs do a dive into how and why to choose certain cannabinoids.๐ง
๐ฟ CBD: the most prevalent and studied compound to date and the most wellknown by nameโฆ.but is it the most effective? When it comes to inflammation, multi system dysfunction and pain associated with emotions, this one is the most effective. Itโs a full body balancer and psychoactive, but not psychotropicโฆ which means: IT WON'T MAKE YOU HIGH. At all. Ever. It is great assisting with hormonal imbalances, gastrointestinal issues, assisting in relief from treatments for cancer, detoxing the body of harmful substances and also in the relief of opiate/benzo withdrawal.
๐ฟ CBG: this one is mainly beneficial with the pain associated in the skin, bones and connective tissue. While itโs not well known specifically for pain, itโs mechanisms speed up the healing process while boosting the bodyโs ability to regrow, repair and eventually heal.
๐ฟ CBDA: likely one of the most powerful pain relievers, itโs acts specifically like an NSAID and since it works directly on the nerve cells, itโs beneficial for all nerve related pain, including neuropathy. Itโs also accessing some additional receptor systems CBD doesnโt access and is great for stabilizing emotional pain as well.
๐ฟ THC: the most commonly known and great for use in pain and works similar to opiates in blocking pain signals but not rooting out the pain source. Itโs been well documented in the use for FDA-approved medicines for cancer and end of life pain control. Two caveats: in high doses it can make you impaired, so use with caution. *And it can also make your pain worse, so youโll have to experiment.
๐ฟ CBN: a lesser Cannabinoid, but very powerful. Known to show relief in muscle and joint pain, ocular pressure and pain, jaw pain and is overall a great relaxer as well. Its known for sleep, but many notice benefits in other ways like for epilepsy. Itโs best when paired with CBD.
Lastly, when pairing ALL the cannabinoids together, especially when you havenโt quite figured out the root cause of pain or identified what systems may be effective, itโs well known to use them all, which creates what is called the entourage effect.
