Cannabinoids and the human body

Cannabinoids and communication

In this article, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tanja Bagar discusses the role of cannabinoids, the endocannabinoid system (ECS), and the role of phytocannabinoids in humans. She explains in a simple way how the human ECS works and how you can check if yours is still in good shape.

Safety in a Mad World: The Role of the Endocannabinoid System and Phytocannabinoids

The human body is an extraordinary and complex system. We are made up of several trillion human cells and ten times as many friendly microbes. Each individual cell is, you could say, a universe unto itself. Especially when we consider that...

Illness as an experience

Illness is always an experience. And our own experiences are the ones that stay deep in our memory and therefore we learn faster. In my life, I have learned that it makes sense to consider every experience as exactly that, an experience. Not a tragedy, not a comedy, but a valuable experience that allows me to rise from my ignorance (not knowing) and unconsciousness. It is true that sometimes the experience is painful and takes a long time before you understand what your lesson is. It is always like that. Especially in health. Until you...

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...

Autumn - How do I prepare for it?

Autumn season

How do we prepare for autumn? In nature, things are cyclical, they circle, they repeat themselves. A tree sprouts in the spring, turns green in the summer and prepares fruit, in the fall the fruit ripens and the leaves dry, and in the winter the lymph retreats into the ground and the tree rests. In traditional Western medicine, we often find images comparing a person to a tree. Except that the tree is turned upside down. So the human head is connected to the roots, and the genitals and legs are connected to the crown and flowers. Flowers are the sexual part of the plant, and the roots are...

What affects the effectiveness of CBD

In order to get the most out of consuming cannabis preparations, it is good to know what influences the effectiveness of CBD (CBG) preparations.

Natural or synthetic

There is growing evidence that natural cannabis extracts (especially natural cannabinoids in a mixture of other cannabis active ingredients) are superior to synthetic cannabinoids. The latter have a lower potency, require higher doses to achieve a beneficial effect, and are more likely to cause side effects. Therefore, before using CBD drops or other preparations with CBD, check the origin of the cannabinoids in the preparation, or....

My home pharmacy

Home pharmacy with essential "medicines"

Every person should have a home medicine cabinet. I remember how I got over a severe sore throat in the middle of a hot July when I was 8 years old. I slept on the terrace on the couch. The pain when swallowing was unbearable. But by then I didn't want any medicine anymore. My sore throat was gone for the rest of my life when I was 7 years old. My sore throats were a constant, today I just write about them. I also got rid of sore ears, constipation, impaired metabolism, rashes, acne, low...

CBD supports the heart after a stroke

Researchers confirm that natural CBD could be important in the future not only for the prevention of cardiovascular health, but also for the rapid regeneration of heart muscle after a stroke or other heart disease. This is good news, given that the incidence of blood clots has increased enormously in recent "covid" years. Many positive effects of CBD have been observed in experimental studies of heart diseases, such as heart attack, heart muscle disease, inflammation of the heart muscle and heart complications due to diabetes. CBD is...

My skin is soft and smooth and loves the sun

Skin and sun

Skin and the sun - an increasingly topical topic. ''Which factor will you put on your skin? Which natural cream do you use? I have a sun allergy and I don't even show up at the beach without cream.'' I will tell you my story. Ever since I was a little girl, my skin was extremely sensitive. Of course, my mother put cream on me to protect me from sunburn, but I got severe rashes. Every time. And that's why I walked in the sun without...

The future of cannabinoid use?

New elections are approaching and with them new promises about regulating the availability of cannabis cannabinoids for therapeutic purposes. Will things really change for the better in this area – or will they continue to suppress the use of this sacred plant? We'll see what the excuses will be this time. If they revolve around the (un)safety and (in)effectiveness of cannabis use, we offer you some facts for your information.
