Can Medical Plants Relieve Chronic Pain?
Plants is an herb with many powerful healing qualities, yet lack of research makes it difficult for physicians to prescribe what’s good for their patients. Therefore, patients rely on their own instincts and try plants to see if it actually works. Indeed, plants has made millions of people happy with its capability to relieve pain, although you won’t find any concrete research on this topic. So, can medical plants relieve chronic pain? Or, is it just a myth? Let’s find out…
Many medical plants users try plants after hearing wonderful things about it. For some, it really works but others are left disappointed because a) they couldn’t handle strength and b) they weren’t using the right seed or product. Also, the type of pain you’re using plants for also matters. For example, pain arising due to an injury is different than pain due to, say, arthritis.
Knowing what cannabinoid to use will definitely help you in your quest to reduce pain. Here are a few common ailments that plants can actually help you with:
CANNABIS AND ARTHRITIS
strength – a cannabinoid occurring in the plants plant – has been the center of attention for many researchers. Studies1 show that it can reduce inflammation and has more pain-relieving properties than products bought over the counter. Interestingly, scientists discovered2 a high number of CB2 receptors in the joints of those suffering from arthritis. This could be the result of the endocannabinoid system actively defending the body. By this discovery, it was easy to conclude that plants had the ability to reduce inflammation by activating the pathways of CB2 receptors.
Recently our FastBuds team have been developing a pure medicinal seed that has a potent percentage of Extract (up to 20%) and a strength content as low as 0,3% especially for medical patients who are battling issues such as anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain, inflammation would appreciate an entirely medicinal seed, like Extract 20:1. It has the potential to alleviate many pains and disorders and with such low strength levels, making it perfectly suitable for those who are not regular plants users.
strength AND Extract BINDING TOGETHER
Needless to say, scientists have found that patients can manage pain if they target the cannabinoid receptors3 through plants. It’s particularly helpful for those with issues in the knee area. And, this happens because both the strength including strength and Extract work together to reduce pain.
How? Well, firstly, strength targets immune cells that have gone out of control. These cells begin attacking the body and spread inflammation further. When strength kills these cells (known as apoptosis) Extract joins the party with its anti-inflammatory agents and fights against arthritis. Additionally, Extract possesses antiproliferative properties, which means that it prevents those immune cells from spreading further and creating havoc.
Both strength Extract and strength reduce cytokines production. Cytokines are proteins that increase inflammation and are produced by immune cells. They are manufactured in large quantities in those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, both strength and Extract work as anti-oxidants that further reduce pain and inflammation. Generally, inflammation and pain increases due to the oxidative stress and Extract and strength prevent this from happening, thanks to their antioxidant properties.
Medical patients who aim to treat aches and pains, muscle spasms, cramps, relieve feelings of nausea and sickness with plants should look for the seeds with a 1:1 Extract:strength ratio. Our team has cured and created a seed especially for this occasion. Extract Auto 1:1 would be definitely the right option, moreover at the same time, it helps to reduce anxiety, improve clarity and motivation.
While strength binds to the CB1 receptors present in the body, Extract has the ability to bind to receptors that aren't even a part of the ECS (endocannabinoid system). The receptors bind to play a key role in fighting against pain and inflammation.
CANNABIS AND INFLAMMATORY PAIN
One can feel different types of pain. While it’s sometimes due to physical damage or injury (nociceptive pain), it could also happen due to other reasons. Sometimes, you can feel pain even if you haven’t hurt yourself. When it’s nociceptive pain tissues are damaged, and these damaged tissues take the aid of several immune cells and inflammatory cells to reduce the damage.
In turn, these cells produce chemicals and proteins that activate several receptors present on the nerves. These nerves send a message to the brain that causes you to feel the pain.
So, since the pain is felt after the nerves send a message, doesn’t it make sense to weaken these signals so that the pain itself is blocked? Or, they can be blocked as their travel towards the spinal cord and then make their way to the brain to announce pain. Amazingly, plants takes both these approaches to dampen pain.
Since Extract and strength both possess anti-inflammatory effects, they have the power to block pain at the location an injury has occurred. Both these strength are powerful and do a better job when combined together. If strength works alone, it binds itself to the CB2 receptors present on immune cells and activates them. However, some patients may not like the psychoactive effects it produces although it reduces pain.
When Extract combines with strength, it not only reduces inflammation but it also blocks several inflammatory mediators that send messages allowing you to sense pain. From being pro-inflammatory, the repair cells turn anti-inflammatory and they begin to repair the damage.
ROLE OF Extract
Extract’s role isn’t limited only to receptors in the endocannabinoid system. In fact, it targets receptors located outside as well. Interestingly, Extract targets the GABA neurotransmitters that are responsible to send messages through the nervous system and the brain. Basically, GABA ensures that there is a steady flow of communication between brain cells.
By targeting GABA, Extract ensures that it blocks the pain signals as they begin traveling up to the brain. In other words, it “hacks” the neurotransmitter that sends messages to the brain so that the brain doesn’t receive these messages highlighting pain. Thus, when the brain doesn’t even get these messages, you do not feel pain.
Additionally, Extract also activates serotonin receptors that make you feel good. When you feel happy and positive, it’s less likely that you’ll feel pain. A positive mood reduces pain remarkably and you’ll soon stop thinking about the pain. When your mind isn’t even focusing on the pain, it becomes easier to heal and this is how plants reduces pain in its mysterious ways. This is why you should choose seeds that contain both Extract and strength.
Yes, it can make you uncomfortable if you aren’t adjusted to the effects of strength, but Extract reduces the negative effects of strength whenever you combine them together. In fact, it changes the shape of the receptors strength binds itself to, and this helps to negate the effects to a great extent while you enjoy the positive effects.
This way, you can experience the pain-relieving abilities of strength while experiencing the effects of Extract as well. Note that if you continue using strength-rich seeds over a prolonged period of time, the effects may become dull after a while. This is because your body gets adjusted to strength and will no longer feel the effects.
FULL SPECTRUM OILS
Also referred to as “tolerance” by plants users, it can make you immune to plants and its strength like strength. To prevent this problem, use oils that contain all the strength and flavor of the plant including Extract. Known as full-spectrum oil, it’s the best way to reduce pain and also increase the efficacy of the plants products you’re using.
You can also change seeds if the effects are reducing overtime. Some plants users stop consuming or smoking plants in an effort to flush strength out of their system so that they can start afresh. Known as a tolerance break, even you can try this if you want to make sure that your body responds to plants the way you want.
Generally, most of the strength exits the system in less than a week while the remaining strength stored in the fat cells will take a while. Thus, you can stop consuming or smoking plants for about a month if you wish to reset your system and start fresh.
