A cannabis plant never ceases to surprise: another cannabinoid has finally officially arrived in the world of cannabis light. This is cannabigerol or CBG, an extremely powerful cannabinoid but completely devoid of psychoactive effects. In this article we will discover its therapeutic properties together. Here's what we'll see:
- Cannabis in pain therapy
- CBG for pain
- Vaporizing CBG, a guarantee
Cannabis in pain therapy
The effectiveness of cannabis in treating pain has been widely demonstrated by several studies. Already in 1839 , an Irish doctor named O'Shaughnessy had understood the therapeutic properties of the cannabis plant, thus beginning to use it on patients suffering from various pathologies .
In 1964 , other studies were conducted by an Israeli researcher named Mechoulam , who was clear that cannabinoids ( THC, CBD, CBG and many others) are capable of interacting with the endocannabinoid system of our brain. Let's try to understand how it works: the endocannabinoid system helps us strengthen our immune system , relax the mind and muscles and promote digestion . Improves sleep and mood and promotes the assimilation of nutrients.
The interesting thing is that our endocannabinoid system activates on its own, in a completely natural way in conditions of well-being, through receptors, which interact with the endocannabinoid substances produced by our body. This is the reason why our body is so predisposed to take cannabinoids and assimilate their therapeutic properties, which are so many.
Isolating the active ingredient of cannabinoids allows you to create ad hoc hybrids to be used for the treatment of various pathologies, in this case we are talking about therapeutic cannabis , the validity of which has long been demonstrated by the large number of research and studies conducted.
It is no coincidence that, as this article explains well , a decree signed by the Health Councilor in Sicily establishes that therapeutic cannabis will be provided free of charge to patients suffering from chronic pain and neuropathic and spasticity from multiple sclerosis , who will only have to turn to public facilities with a medical prescription , so that the Sicily Region will cover all the costs.
CBG for pain
Most people still don't know the formidable therapeutic properties of cannabigerol or CBG, a cannabinoid that until now was less known than THC and CBD, about which we now know almost everything.
Yet, cannabigerol is not a cannabinoid like the others, it is the father of all cannabinoids, the first to be synthesized in the cannabis plant, the one thanks to which all the other cannabinoids can be synthesized , including THC and CBD. Precisely for this reason the percentage of cannabigerol present in a mature cannabis plant is extremely low and until recently, no researcher had ever analyzed its incredible therapeutic properties.
The first studies were conducted only in 1964 by the scientist Y. Gaoni , who isolated the active ingredient for the first time. Completely free of psychoactive effect, CBG flowers can be used with excellent results in the treatment of muscle pain and fibromyalgia , lumbago , osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis as well as in the treatment of migraines and menstrual pain .
Vaporizing CBG, a guarantee
The best way to enjoy the therapeutic properties of cannabigerol is by vaporization .
In fact, combustion , in addition to being harmful to our health, burns and disperses more than 80% of the active ingredient , limiting its action on our endocannabinoid system.
Vaporization, on the other hand , allows us to take in more than 90% of the active ingredient. Furthermore, in almost all herb vaporizers the temperature can be adjusted , a factor that really makes a difference in our experience with cannabis light.
Each cannabinoid releases the maximum of its active ingredient at a certain temperature.
For an optimal effect, CBG flowers can be vaporized at 210° , cannabigerol needs a certain heat, unlike cannabidiol (CBD) which can be vaporized between 160 and 180 degrees.
Choosing CBG means choosing a natural way to take care of your psychophysical balance, deciding to vaporize it means truly benefiting from all its therapeutic properties.
Say no to combustion, say yes to cannabigerol!
