Just after medical cannabis legalization- “the dark age of prohibition”; swing research confirmed multiple health benefits, which were deep-rooted in the anecdotal accounts for centuries.

Endocannabinoid system – one of the hyped topics of the century. ECS plays a major role in regulating our body functionalities related to mood, appetite, metabolism and immunity system, pain perception, and memory. Altogether, when analyzed at a broader spectrum, the one main job of ECS is to maintain and stabilize internal equilibrium- “Homeostasis.”

What’s more?

“Apart from stabilizing the internal equilibrium, ECS has a significant part when it comes to hormonal balancing and the reproductive process. Surprisingly, as a matter of fact, cannabinoids interact with our body’s cannabinoid receptors, and its where all the healing starts…”

Be it menstrual cramps, premenstrual syndrome, endometriosis, or menopause; medical cannabis is emerging as one solution for treating a multitude of symptoms.

“According to a survey, published in Obstetrics and Gynecology in May 2019, stated that out of 1,011 women falling in the bracket of median age, more than 36 percent use cannabis to treat pain, anxiety or depression. In addition, more than 16 percent of women use cannabis to treat gynecological conditions.

Cannabis is related to Gynecology long before prohibition.”

 During the 1800s, cannabis derivatives formed a major part of official pharmacopeias for a diverse range of medical conditions, and its use in gynecology was not just recommended by the major medical luminaries, but also by Queen Victoria. This smart queen and the Empress of India became a sensation to the cannabis community globally as she used medical cannabis tincture to get relief from her menstrual cramps. 

As per the physicians and researchers, a proper blend of THC and CBD might be an effective way to treat the menopausal issues, including sleep and mood fluctuations. The users can now obtain high-quality medical cannabis as per physician’s prescription through marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles based on the nearest location and user ratings.
