The rate at which alternative medications have been used in modern society is steadily increasing. People are preferring the more traditional methods (acupuncture, aromatherapy, crystal therapy, etc.) for the treatment of some symptoms, like pain and depression rather, than the modern ones, and medical cannabis is also one of those types of alternatives. According to ancient Chinese history, lots of people used medical marijuana, which was known as the "magical herb", for its soothing and hallucinogenic effects. Its medical benefits are growing more popular among several states around the world, and this has made it to be legalized in certain regions. Medical marijuana is commonly used to treat the following five common symptoms: Nausea and vomiting The human body has two types of receptors that let the body consume the effects created by the absorption of medical cannabis: CB1 and CB2. The CB1 receptor is located primarily in the brain, kidney, lungs and liver. The CB2 receptor is located primarily in the immune system and hematopoietic system. As soon as cannabis is consumed or inhaled, the molecules called endocannabinoids, which are produced by the body, meet and interact with the two receptors which create a euphoric state that aids in reducing the symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Loss of appetite It has been discovered that medical cannabis can be used in stimulating one's appetite. A research study was conducted on several patients with HIV/AIDS, patient suffering from loss of appetite which in turn led to weight loss. After these patients took cannabis and it's main extracts, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), they regained their appetite and began to add weight, while the ones who took placebo remained in their current state. Studies have also shown that when cannabis is consumed through the nose (inhaled), it can boost calorie intake, especially for fatty foods. And overall, inhaling cannabis can boost the food consumption. Muscle spasms, tension and cramps Recent studies have shown that medical cannabis is able to relieve muscle tension. In 2014, the American Cancer Society performed a research on people suffering from muscle sclerosis. When they drank cannabinoid and THC, they experienced a decrease in muscle spasms, and the rate at which their legs were shaking. The study carried on to people who were severely affected by muscle sclerosis had a decrease in the muscle stiffness and shaking after taking THC. Eight patients experienced euphoria after the study, while two patients were reported to have experienced discomfort, as well as paranoia. Pain Cannabis has been providing comfort and relaxation for people who have been suffering from chronic pain. As a matter of fact, those who suffered from neuropathic pain caused by HIV, spine surgery or muscle sclerosis have resorted to medical cannabis for a relief. Insomnia It has also been discovered that cannabis is able to relieve anxiety and sleep disorders like insomnia. Researchers have confirmed that taking marijuana helps in reducing anxiety and improving their mood and sense of well-being. As you can see, marijuana can be used in many useful ways for our health, not just the most common (and probably most despised by the people with high moral standards).
