Hemp or Cannabis Sativa L. is, on the one hand, a plant like any other, but on the other hand, due to the diversity of its active ingredients, it is the true "Ferrari" of the plant world. It contains over 1,000 active ingredients, including an extraordinary variety of cannabinoids. These are molecules that have already been thoroughly studied by science and that have tremendous potential in medicine. In this book, the author explains what these molecules actually are and how they work when they enter our body. At their core, cannabinoids are signaling molecules that help cells in the body chatter. The task of these molecules is to maintain or restore the biochemical balance of our body at the level of cells, tissues, organs, systems and the whole organism. The book provides information that is based on scientific findings and many already published studies about these extraordinary molecules, as well as information on how to help yourself to better health and well-being through the appropriate use of cannabinoids.
NEW: Book translated into Croatian, price €28.
