Phytocannabinoids are plant substances that stimulate cannabinoid receptors. Delta-9-tet-rahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the most psychoactive and certainly the most famous of these substances, but other cannabinoids such as cannabidiol(CBD) and cannabinol (CBN) are gaining the interest of researchers due to a variety of healing properties. Most phytocannabinoids have been isolated
from cannabis stiva, but other medical herbs have been found to also contain non- psychoative cannabinoids.
Laborites can also produce cannabinoids. Synthetic THC, marketed as dronabinol (Marinol), and nabilone(Casement), a THC analog, are both approved drugs for treatment of severe nausea and wasting syndrome. Many synthetic cannabinoids are used in animal research, and some have potency up to 600 times that of THC.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AND CANNABIS
Medical marijuana is a popular complimentary medicine for many ailments. Here we overview a general list that can be treated with medical marijuana.
ALS
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also more widely known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, us a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that causes it’s carrier’s loss of muscle control and coordination along the spinal cord, brain stem and motor cortex. Although there is no cure for this debilitating illness, medical marijuana can be used to help alleviate the symptoms of the disease including: loss of appetite and
chronic pain caused by muscle spasms and/or stiffness.
ALZHEIMER’S
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, a disease that affects over 35 million people worldwide. There is no known cure for Alzheimer’s, which gets worse as it progresses and eventually leads to death. Numerous studies have suggested that marijuana may be effective in inhibiting the progression of this disease through a variety of biological mechanisms.
ARTHRITIS
Arthritis is a joint disorder that can affect anyone of any age, but is most common amongst senior citizens. This inflammation of the joints is often accompanied by severe pain. Numerous studies have provided overwhelming evidence of medical marijuana’s ability to reduce joint inflammation and related pain symptoms
CANCER
Cancer refers to a group of diseases characterized by abnormal cell growth(known as tumors). Many doctors will prescribe the use of marijuana as an aid to not only help combat the disease itself but also to help mollify the effects of chemotherapy treatment. Chemotherapy has been known to produce many side effects that can be hard on the patient, including: vomiting, nausea, and loss of appetite. Medical marijuana has been known to help fight cancer treatment- related anorexia. Studies have also shown a
positive effect in regards to inhibiting tumor growth in leukemia and breast cancer as well as the invasion of cervical cancer, liver cancer, brain cancer and lung cancer cells.
DEPRESSION
Depression is a condition known by a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest or pleasure in normally enjoyable activities. Depression is thought to be caused by low levels of neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine. Typical treatments include counselling and antidepressant medications that act to increase levels of neurotransmitters . THC has been found(under certain conditions) to exert antidepressant-like effects in patients suffering from pain associated with cancer and multiple sclerosis as
well as improve mood and general well-being in healthy test subjects.
EPILEPSY
Epilepsy causes frequent and unpredictable seizures that cannot be cured. Long-term drug therapy can help most patients control their seizures but not all. Studies suggest a role of the endocannabinoid system in seizure activity and seem to support the use of cannabis as an alternative to traditional drugs.
GLAUCOMA
Glaucoma is considered the leading source of blindness in the world and is caused by the degenaration of the optic nerve. The leading cause of optic nerve damage in glaucoma patients is intracocular pressure(IOP). Studies have shown that the use of medical marijuana can not only help stop the damage caused by IOP but can also help reverse deterioration of the optic nerve. The combination of medical
marijuana with traditional glaucoma medication is widely accepted as a positive and effective treatment method.
HIV
Human Immunodeficiency Virus(HIV) occurs when the cells in the bloodstream that make up the immune system become compromised and multiple. The disease attacks the immune system allowing for a person to contract a variety of opportunistic infections. Although there is no cure for HIV yet, there have been many treatment regimens that help decrease the viral-load within the inflicted bloodstream and
help prevent the virus from reproducing. However, many of these treatments can cause some harsh negative side effects. Medical marijuana is effective in treating the symptoms caused by many HIV medications, including: nausea, lack of appetite, nerve pain, anxiety, depression and insomnia.
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disorder that directly affects an indivual’s central nervous system and in turn causes deterioration with the individual’s vision, hearing, memory, balance and mobility. Although symptoms of MS vary from person to person, one of the most frequent symptoms is muscle spasticity, a symptoms that causes intense pain, spasms and eventually complete loss of functionality. The use of
medical marijuana within MS patients has been known to reduce the muscle stiffness and tremors, allowing for better mobility. Marijuana can also help increase the individual’s balance, bladder control, speech and eyesight.
PAIN RELIEF
Many patients suffering from chronic or neuropathic pain gain relief from prescription drugs but not all. One of the most common use of medical marijuana is for the treatment of chronic pain. Cannabinoids medical compounds found in marijuana have powerful pain-relieving analgesic properties through their interaction with the cannabinoid receptors of the body’s endocannabinoid system.
PARKINSON’S
Parkinson’s disease is a disorder of the nervous system caused by progressive death of dopamine cells. Major symptoms of this disorder include motor impairments-such as shaking, tremors, slow movement and difficulty with walking- as well as symptoms of dementia, sensory dysfunction, sleep disorders, emotional problems and neuropathic pain. While dopamine replacement therapies seem to be effective in reducing overall symptoms, treatments that slow.
THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF CANNABIS OIL
Research into cannabis essential oil is regulated strictly and we are in the early stages of its development. We can only hope that in the future more research will be done and that regulatory bodies become more accepting of its potential to treat people safely.
1. STRESS AND ANXIETY
Stress and anxiety and related emotional disorders are an increasing modern concern and we have looked at numerous potential and natural alternatives to the often ineffective and dangerous prescription medications for these conditions. Cannabis oil is definitely worth exploring further as it can relax the troubled mind and stimulate the release of pleasure hormones. This combination of effects can lead to
stress reduction and pace the way for feelings of calm and general wellbeing.
Cannabinoids found in the oil are responsible to their positive emotional effects on the body’s nervous system. Several recent studies have demonstrated the potential value of cannabis oil in stress relief as well as related issues like insomnia.
An Israeli study published in 2013 demonstrated that treatment with cannabinoids following some form of traumatic experience might help control the emotional responses to that traumatic event and prevent stress related responds.
Researchers found that cannabinoids were effective by minimizing stress receptors in the hippocampus which is the area of brain responsible for emotional response. (2)
A more recent review published in 2015 found that cannabis treatments were effective in reducing anxiety and restlessness in military veterans suffering from PTSD.
Whether inhaled or orally administered, cannabis oil produces a wide range of positive nervous system effects including increased feelings of pleasure and calm. This review of 4 trials found that cannabis was able to significantly improve certain symptoms of PTSD including nightmares, insomnia and anxiety.(3)
While there is need for further research, the studies done so far as well as a large body of anecdotal evidence are very promising for the future use of cannabis oil to treat anxiety, stress and sleeping disorders.
2. APPETITE AND OBESITY
Cannabis has a well-known ability to increase the user’s appetite and it is possible that it has potential for people who need to increase their weight following illness or because of an eating disorder like anorexia nervosa.
Cannabis oil can stimulate the body’s digestive system and induce hunger in those lacking appetite. While cannabis oil can stimulate appetite by helping release hormones responsible for hunger, certain hormones responsible for hunger suppression can also be stimulated by cannabinoids.
So conversely, depending on which hormone gets stimulated, cannabis oil might also be effective in reducing appetite and controlling obesity. In order to do this effectively, it is necessary to manipulate the cannabinoids to stimulate the appropriate hormones.
Basically speaking, cannabis oil may be effective in treating both obesity and eating disorders like anorexia in the future. For those who would like to read more about the weight control potential of cannabis oil, you can click on the link at the bottom of the article. (1)
3. ASTHMA
Asthma is a common respiratory disease affecting up to 300 million people the world over. It is responsible for numerous deaths each year and the search for a natural and effective treatment has been ongoing for years.
Cannabis has actually been used to treat asthma for many thousands of years including in traditional Chinese and Indian systems. Cannabis oil may be an effective natural treatment door for asthma because of its natural anti-inflammatory ability as well as its analgesic effects and in particular its ability to dilatethe bronchial tubes which allows more oxygen to flow.
During the early 1970s there were several studies that investigated the brochrodilatory effects for people suffering from asthma many of which showed very positive results although these studies used cannabis cigarettes rather than oil.(4.5)
While there is little evidence regarding the use of cannabis oil for asthmatics, many people swear by its ability to improve their symptoms and it is a popular choice of treatment.
4. HEART HEALTH
Cannabis oil contains antioxidants properties that may prove beneficial for the heart. Animal studies have demonstrated that treatment with cannabis oil may prevent numerous cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis, heart attacks and strokes.
A British study published in 2014 found that the results in the animal studies were applicable to human heart conditions.(6) They demonstrated that cannabinoids could cause the blood vessels to relax and dilate paving way to improved circulation and reduced blood pressure.
This is exciting news and we can only hope that further studies will be forthcoming to further prove that cannabis oil has major implications for heart health.
5. PAIN RELIEF
One of the major historical uses of the cannabis plant has been to ease pains and inflammation. Indeed, there is evidence that it has been used for thousands of years for these purposes.
There is modern evidence that cannabis and cannabis oil is effective in relieving pain by inhibiting the neural transmission in the body’ pain pathways. It has the potential to alleviate chronic pain as well as inflammation which is why many cancer patients choose to take it while undergoing chemotherapy.
A recent Canadian study published in 2010 demonstrated that cannabis could be used to treat patients suffering from chronic pain. The study involved 23 adult patients who were suffering with neuropathic pain as a result of surgery or trauma.
Over the 2-week duration of the trial, patients were randomly treated with cannabis in 4 different levels of potency. The results demonstrated that cannabis taken 3 times daily was able to significantly reduce the intensity and severity of pain as well as improving sleep.(7)
Many people take cannabis to deal with severe rheumatism and arthritis as well as other chronic pains. Other studies have demonstrated that it can be used to ease neuropathic pain. It is considered to be safe when taken in appropriate doses and studies have found that it is largely well tolerated.
6. CANCER
There is considerable amount of excitement regarding the ability of cannabis oil to cure cancer and it is often quite understandable makes headlines. Unfortunately, these headlines are often overly optimistic and can be misleading for both patients and their families.
First of all, it should be pointed out that the vast majority of scientific research into the effects of cannabis oil on cancer has been conducted either on animals or in the laboratory.With that in mind, we need to exercise a degree of caution in extrapolating the results to human subjects.
Having said all that, the evidence from the laboratory has been very positive so far.(1)
Scientists have been able to discover that many different cannabinoids have a range of positive effects under laboratory conditions. These effects include:
*Triggering cancer cell death in a process known as apoptosis
*Preventing the division of cells
*Preventing new blood vessels from becoming tumors
*Reducing the risk of cancerous cells from spreading throughout the body and invading healthy neighboring tissue.
Up to now the most positive effects have been seen when using a combination of purified THC in combination with cannabidiol which is a cannabinoid that counteracts the psychoactive effect of THC.
Other research has demonstrated that cannabis oil is most effective when used in conjunction with chemotherapy medications.
Although there is no hard and fast evidence that cannabis oil is a miracle cure all, the early signs are very promising and further research may soon help us find the answers that so many people are waiting for.
7. SKIN PROTECTION
Cannabis oil can be applied topically to the skin in order to promote a healthy and glowing looking skin. When applied topically, cannabis oil can help stimulate the shedding of older and dead skin cells and promote the growth of new ones to replace them.
Cannabinoids can help promote the production of lipids which help fight chronic skin conditions including acne and psoriasis. It is possible that cannabis oil can help prevent the signs of aging like wrinkles and skin spots and blemishes because it is high in natural antioxidants that help fight against cellular damage caused by free radicals.
By reducing the amount of stress that we feel, cannabis oil can also help prevent skin diseases that tend to break out during times of anxiety like eczema or roscea.
8. EYE HEALTH
There is a certain amount of evidence demonstrating the ability of cannabis oil to treat eye conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Glaucoma is a serious optic nerve disease that might lead to loss of proper vision and even blindness.
Glaucoma is caused by a build-up of fluid within the eye which then puts too much pressure onto the retina, lens and optic nerve. While numerous factors may contribute to nerve damage in people suffering from glaucoma, intraocular pressure or IOP is definitely related.
The good news is that the American Glaucoma Society says cannabis can reduce the level of IOP in both people suffering from glaucoma and those without the disease. Unfortunately, its effects are temporary and patients would need to use cannabis oil every few hours to shore up the effects, so for now more research is necessary.
9. SEIZURES
There is some evidence emanating from small scale studies and anecdotal reports that the cannabidiol content of cannabis oil may be helpful in preventing seizures and could be a novel treatment for epilepsy.
Unfortunately, however, there is not enough evidence to support its use for seizures and the limited evidence that is available so far has proven contradictory.
A review of the literature to date which involved only four clinical trials was published in 2012 but was unable to make a reliable conclusion regarding the use of cannabis oil for seizures.
It should however be noted that of the 48 people involved in these trials that none of them experienced any adverse side effects from the treatment and that more studies in the future may prove invaluable.
