What’s your remedy for nausea?

It certainly isn’t uncommon to have an occasional bout of nausea.  It can be caused by a myriad of triggers such as a new medication, stomach flu or simply a bad meal.  While nausea itself isn’t a disease, if it’s chronic it can be a warning sign of some serious underlying health concerns including cancer or an infection.  Nausea can also stem from Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers and digestive disorders.  If you suffer from chronic nausea, it’s best to get to the root of it.  While you’re busy finding the causes of nausea, cannabis tinctures might offer some relief.

While the opioid addiction is out of control, cannabis has become a popular aid in gaining relief from the symptoms of substance abuse withdrawal, including alcohol.  Both opioids and alcohol cause troublesome side-affects during withdrawal including substantial anxiety, depression and nausea.  “Although there is preliminary evidence that cannabis and its main psychoactive constituent, THC, may alleviate opioid withdrawal, these effects are likely to have a narrow therapeutic window.”  That therapeutic window is vital and many of these patients turn to social media threads to gain information and support in hopes to find relief with medical marijuana in a controlled, therapeutic manner.  It is wise to make preparations to quit and obtain a healthy lifestyle. Most patients stock up on marijuana to get ready. If you’re prepared, even if you wake up with a simple hangover, you can try cannabis to relieve symptoms of fatigue, managing nausea and loss of appetite.

You may know that chronic health problems like cancer, AIDS and anorexia are serious conditions with severe symptoms and side-effects, such as nausea, which could be alleviated if patients want to try an alternative medicine, such as medical marijuana. However, even those suffering with Crohn’s disease could find relief. “Nausea and vomiting after eating can be a symptom of IBD, especially Crohn’s disease. Crohn’s disease can lead to long-term inflammation that can cause a stricture, which is a narrowing in the small intestine that can lead to a blockage over time… causing nausea and vomiting.”

Which cannabinoids help with nausea?

All of the strains just mentioned contain rich levels of the cannabinoid Cannabigerol (GBG), notably the, “mother of all cannabinoids,” which helps to relieve nausea, inflammation and may decrease the proliferation of cancer cells.  “Also of interest is the finding that CBG …actually suppressed acute nausea on its own.” CBG offers powerful relief for some of the chronic disorders that cause nausea, such as AIDS migraine headaches and digestive disorders.  “The expanding knowledge on its multifaceted pharmacology allowed intercepting numerous possible medical uses inspiring several attempts to patent its pharmaceutical use for a number of conditions. Among all, its anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties stimulated tremendous interest pointing CBG as a possible candidate in the development of novel drugs to prevent, control, and treat conditions where pathological inflammatory responses and abnormal cell proliferation represent a threat.”  Thus, we can conclude that, while medical marijuana hasn’t been proven as a cure for disease control, the enormous benefits of the herb really can’t be denied.
