Feeling achy or sore?
Maybe you overdid working in the garden. Or perhaps you battle chronic joint pain.
Before you reach for a risky over-the-counter med, consider this potent natural alternative that’s been proven to deliver POWERFUL pain relief.
But you might be shocked to hear WHAT this “forbidden” pain reliever is…
A growing number of folks are turning to cannabis products for pain relief.
And for good reason. It turns out that the compounds in marijuana and hemp plants have powerful inflammation-fighting properties.
Cannabis products can provide pain relief without the risky side effects of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) you can get at your local drugstore.
The cannabis plant contains active ingredients like tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) that naturally target inflammation.
Both CBD (which you can buy with some restrictions in nearly every state, if it’s hemp-derived) and THC (which is only available in certain states under certain conditions) target the body’s endocannabinoid system.
This reduces inflammatory responses to conditions like…
- arthritis,
- injuries,
- autoimmune disorders, and
- even inflammatory bowel diseases.
Now, new research published in the journal Cell Chemical Biology has revealed HOW THC and CBD work so well to calm inflammation.
The study found a total of eight different molecules in cannabis (including THC and CBD) target human immune cells to reduce inflammation.
CBD specifically turned out to be very effective, so the team drilled down into the science further to reveal how it works in more depth.
The researchers found that CBD switches on an enzyme called 15-lipoxygenase-1. This then triggers the production of inflammation-relieving messenger substances.
Cannabis products are widely available (check the laws in your own state) and effectively reduce inflammation and pain. And for many folks, they’re a safer natural alternative that can replace risky NSAIDs.
P.S. Odd “Oil Solution” delivers drug-free pain relief.
