Why Medical Cannabis
Healing Naturally with Cannabis
Humans have used cannabis as a healing plant for thousands of years, with records dating back to ancient China, India, Egypt, and the Middle East. Traditional medical systems used cannabis to help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, calm the nervous system, improve sleep, and ease digestive disorders. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, cannabis was widely prescribed in Western medicine before modern regulations restricted its use. Today, scientific research is rediscovering and validating many of these traditional applications, leading to renewed integration of medical cannabis into modern, patient-centered care.
