What is herb?
The compound that we are referring to and that we are preparing to analyze and describe is known as herbs. These active compounds of the hemp (exist more than 110 different) also denominated herbs, represent approximately 40% of the extraction of the hemp and are the people in charge of the medicinal properties of the hemp.
Their palliative effects are due to that interact with our endoherbs system whenever we consumed this substance. The intention of the following article is to solve any type of doubt that can arise on the matter. From its composition, commercial situation, where it is sold, if the herb places, related products, to its medicinal effects and the medical studies that corroborate them.
Other active hemp compounds
Before beginning the bulk of the matter, to mention that the hemp is not only composed by herbs, also exist other active compounds like:
- Cannabinol (CBN): it is a psychotropic herbs that is located in hemp sativa and Indian/Afghanica hemp. This metabolite of tetrahydrocannabinol makes the function of weak agonist in the receptors CB1 and CB2, but with less affinity than herbs.
- Cannabigerol (CBG): it is a non-psychoactive herbs which is located in the plants of hemp. This active one is in greater concentration within the hemp, whereas the varieties of hemp cultivated for the consumption contain it to a lesser extent.
- Cannabicyclol (CBL): it is a non-psychoactive herbs found in hemp. The CBL is a degrading product since the light converts the cannabicromeno in CBL. It is not recognized in the Convention on Psychotropic Substances.
- Cannabicromeno (CBC): it is an abundant natural fitocannabinoide, and it is thought that it is the second most abundant herbs in the hemp. This active produces antinociceptivos effects (analgesics) and anti-inflammatory in rodents, and increases the interest in its futurible potential to treat diverse inflammatory and gastrointestinal upheavals in human beings.
Medical uses of herb
If something we have to thank the users of hemp to the herbs, they are the medicinal effects of this plant. The modern science has demonstrated in multiple occasions that are in the hemp have diverse medicinal and palliative properties against numerous upheavals. In the following list the main diseases are shown that are treated with herbs.
Epilepsy
It has been shown to reduce the occurrence of seizures, as well as their intensity. Studies show that it reduces motor seizures by 36.5%, while the other 2% of participants stopped having seizures. As for the side effects, it should be noted that 79% of the patients who followed the treatment suffered drowsiness, fatigue and even diarrhea. However, only 3% left the study because of these side effects.
This is just one example of the many studies carried out on this subject. For example, there are also studies that analyze the effects of herbs in tuberous sclerosis patients with refractory seizures. This disease, although not epilepsy, has the same neurological manifestations. Studies in this regard indicate that herb also reduces by 69% the seizures suffered by patients with the latter disease.
Fibromyalgia
Disorder characterized by chronic musculoskeletal pain of unknown origin, accompanied by feelings of fatigue and other symptoms (fatigue, drowsiness, memory loss). It is believed that the disease may be related to how the brain processes pain signals, amplifying sensations to points unbearable for the patient.
Currently there is no cure for the disease in question, only some treatments aimed at decreasing the discomfort. Studies looking at the effects of herbs on fibromyalgia patients indicate that consumers feel a significant reduction in pain and stiffness, greater relaxation, and increased well-being.
Multiple Sclerosis or Myelopathy
A disease that produces demyelinating, neurodegenerative and chronic lesions in the central nervous system, and directly affects the flow of information between the brain and the rest of the body. Currently, the causes are unknown, although it is related to some autoimmune mechanisms involved. In addition, the symptoms vary dramatically depending on the area of the central nervous system that is affected. The symptoms can be mental (depression, changes of humor, anxiety) or physical (fatigue, spasms, pain and weakness).
As some studies have shown, all these symptoms mentioned above are alleviated by the use of hemp with high levels of herbs. The study analyzes the effect of hemp use through different systems (smoking, oral intake, oromucosal intake). The results show that the ingestion herb reduces the symptoms caused by the disease in question and, especially, the consumption of Sativex is very rewarding for the patient.
