I have suffered from inflammation for most of my adult life.
I mostly suffer from inflammation in my lower back, however I typically feel inflammation in my knees and hips as well.
I exercise frequently, drink plenty of water, and mostly eat a whole food diet, but I still usually have to deal with my symptoms at least once a month. My doctor has recommended several stretches, and they help me for the most part, but it isn’t always convenient to stretch throughout my day. I have considered prescription painkillers, but I generally don’t like the way they make me feel, plus there is such a high risk for addiction. My doctor recommended that I try medical cannabis for my chronic inflammation. I went to the dispensary near me, and the budtender showed me a couple different cannabis products that can assist with inflammation. Cannabis products, such as dried cannabis flower, cannabis infused edibles, and cannabis concentrates that contain the terpene Pinene. Pinene is commonly found in rosemary, sage, and pine nuts, and is known to relieve inflammation. I decided to purchase some cannabis infused gummies that contained the terpene pinene. I chose gummies because they are convenient, and the dosage is easy to measure. Since I started eating cannabis-infused gummies, I have experienced a great reduction in my inflammation. The biggest surprise for me has been waking up in the morning without any pain in my back, knees, or hips. If you suffer from chronic inflammation, and don’t want to try addictive prescription painkillers, head to your local dispensary and see if cannabis is right for you!
