Cannabis to treat menopause symptoms
I am 55 years old, and I’ve been going through menopause for the last several years! The experience has not been pleasant, and i’ve suffered a variety of symptoms, including boiling flashes, insomnia, weight gain, moodiness and even pain.
I am unwilling to take medication that might result in long-term side effects.
I enjoy a more natural and safe alternative! A little research revealed that cannabis can help treat the symptoms of menopause, using cannabis while in menopause helps out the body’s endocannabinoid system, which is struggling to function without high levels of estrogen. I knew the best locale to start was at the local cannabis dispensary. Although medicinal and recreational cannabis is legitimately legal in my state, I was a bit reluctant to visit the dispensary. There is legitimately still a stigma involved with cannabis consumption, then but since I was frustrated with the lack of sleep and constant boiling flashes, I stepped inside and approached the nearest budtender. I explained my situation and asked for recommendations, but 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 and lower body temperature. He recommended that I try an Indica-dominant hybrid called apricot Banana. This strain offers a high THC and low CBD gratified, so finding the right dose is fairly straight-forward. Too much THC can legitimately increase body temperature. The right balance offers a cooling effect. The budtender told me to experiment by taking 1 hit at a time. He said that I’d believe the effects quickly and be able to determine whether I need more. Along with helping with boiling flashes, apricot Banana is known for causing a peaceful, cheerful sensation plus increasing awareness and creativity.
