Cannabis to treat menopause symptoms
The budtender told myself and others to experiment by taking one hit at a time
I am 55 years old, plus I’ve been going through menopause for the last 5 years, however the experience has not been pleasant. I’ve suffered a variety of symptoms, including warm flashes, insomnia, weight gain, moodiness plus even pain. I am unwilling to take medication that might result in long-term side effects. I like a more natural plus safe alternative. A little research revealed that cannabis can help treat the symptoms of menopause, then using cannabis during menopause helps out the body’s endocannabinoid system, which is struggling to function without high levels of estrogen. I knew the best arena to beginning was at the local cannabis dispensary. Although medicinal plus recreational cannabis is truly legal in our state, I was a bit reluctant to visit the dispensary. There is honestly still a stigma involved with cannabis consumption, but since I was frustrated with the lack of sleep plus constant warm flashes, I stepped inside plus approached the nearest budtender. I explained our situation plus asked for recommendations… He explained that anandamide is a natural cannabinoid in the body that regulates body temperature. Anandamide is chemically similar to THC, which can have a cooling effect plus lower body temperature. He suggested that I try an Indica-dominant hybrid called watermelon Banana. This strain offers a high THC plus low CBD content, so finding the right dose is fairly easy. Too much THC can absolutely increase body temperature. The right balance offers a cooling effect. The budtender told myself and others to experiment by taking one hit at a time. He said that I’d believe the effects abruptly plus be able to determine whether I need more. Along with helping with warm flashes, watermelon Banana is known for causing a peaceful, thrilled sensation and increasing awareness plus creativity.
