Medical Applications

Purple Bush can potentially help alleviate a multitude of medical conditions. Its high potency makes it particularly useful for those suffering from chronic pain, insomnia, and loss of appetite.

Chronic Pain, Muscle Pain and Other Types of Pain

Cannabis contains compounds known as cannabinoids, with the most well-known being delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). These compounds interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating pain.

THC has analgesic properties that can help reduce pain, while CBD can help reduce inflammation, a common cause of many types of pain. Additionally, cannabis can help improve sleep, which can, in turn, help manage chronic pain conditions. Some studies have shown that medical cannabis can help replace or reduce the use of opioids for pain management.

Insomnia

Cannabis, specifically strains high in THC, can induce drowsiness and help reduce the time it takes to fall asleep. Additionally, the relaxing effects of cannabis can help manage anxiety and stress, common contributors to insomnia. Some research also suggests that cannabis can help regulate sleep patterns. However, long-term use may potentially alter sleep cycles, so it should be used under medical supervision.
