Remembering the father of cannabis and cannabinoid research

Dr. Raphael Mechoulam (1930–2023), an Israeli professor and pioneer in cannabis research, also known as the “father of cannabinoid research,” died on March 9, 2023, at the age of 92. He was born in Sofia, Bulgaria, to Jewish parents. His family later moved to Israel, where he began studying chemistry. When Mechoulam began researching cannabis in the 1960s, it was considered a dangerous psychoactive drug with no medical benefits. However, he spent his entire academic life studying it and became...

Body detoxification and CBD

Spring body detoxification

Many people dedicate the spring months to detoxifying or cleansing their bodies. CBD Although it is not primarily intended for detoxification, it can effectively support us in this. Why is it important to support detoxification with CBD? Because:

1. Supports balance during cleansing

It is known that during intensive body cleansing, there can be an increased burden on the liver, kidneys and gastrointestinal tract, as well as disturbances in well-being. Because cannabis cannabinoids support the functioning of the ECS (endocannabinoid system), virtually all body systems, organs, tissues and...

Hemp and the future of natural extracts?

Hemp: Will we receive synthetic (or isolated) cannabinoids or natural hemp extracts in the future?

Cannabis, its extracts and regulation. More and more countries are paying attention to proper regulation of cannabis use, both for medical and personal purposes, instead of banning and stigmatizing it. It is not yet known how the matter will be settled in Slovenia, but we can only hope that it will be to the greatest possible benefit of the people. One can feel the tendency of regulation in the direction of synthetic (or isolated) cannabinoids, which is by no means the best.

Natural extracts are more effective and safer

Nervous system and first aid

Nervous system and inflammatory processes

The brain, spinal cord and peripheral nervous system. All of this makes up our nervous system, without which we would not be able to sense our surroundings or move our bodies. The well-known vagus nerve (actually two nerves) is the longest of the twelve nerves that emerge from the head and is also called the pneumogastric nerve, as it is the connection between the brain and the digestive tract, and also affects breathing and heartbeat. Nerve cells are mostly made up of fat, partly of protein and some water. And after such cells...

Regeneration - can our body do it?

Regeneration and the body

Vacation is supposed to be a time when we take a break from everyday stress and enjoy life. Regeneration of mind and body. The thought that only then can we truly enjoy life is quite shocking. But for many people, this is a time they eagerly await, to remove themselves both physically and mentally from a work environment that brings them a lot of stress. To finally really dedicate themselves fully to their family and themselves. But this leap is sometimes not so easy. People...

CBD drops expand awareness

Do CBD drops expand consciousness?

The sacred plant hemp Our ancestors used it in many different ways. It was and still is an excellent source of food, especially high-quality fatty acids, and it was also used for construction, ropes and clothing, as its fibers are extremely durable. But in the first place was definitely its medical ritual use. My opinion is that medicine without a sense of holiness somehow cannot show itself in all its power. I recognize man as a divine being, regardless of...

CBD drops and the question of whether we can calm down?

CBD drops and sedation

Thoughts and advice from Tjaša Korelc, a cannabinoid and traditional Western medicine support consultant, on ways to calm down. One of the solutions is CBD drops. Sometimes we find ourselves in a situation where stress is so high that it throws us off track. Our nervous system is irritated, we are oversensitive to many external factors, be it loud talking, music, screaming children, heavy traffic... we simply can't take it anymore and our system fails. It happened to me when I was too tired and...
