The cannabinoids (CBD, THC, CBN, CBG and many others) work best when they are utilized in a whole plant preparation. Isolated cannabinoids are far less effective, as the cannabinoids work together in a synergystic fashion. I would try a sublingual tincture of whole plant cannabis extract with CBD, THC and the other components found in cannabis. You can vary the ratio and see what works best for you and your lifestyle. With more THC you may find more pain relief, but you may experience more psychoactive effects, changes in perception and short term memory. When utilizing the tincture, allow it to absorb in your mouth, so that it goes directly into your bloodstream. Try a small dose (5-10 milligrams of cannabinoids), and wait for half an hour to see if you experience relief. Increase the dose as needed. Vaporizing cannabis will provide more immediate relief and is often a bit easier to titrate the appropriate dose. You may also try topical cannabis rubs or a transdermal patch applied to the most painful area.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7229-markdown","title":"hello   i am new to this site i am a terrible migraine sufferer and have tired many many things.

In the meantime, reduce your triptan use to a few times a month as daily and weekly use can lead to an even worse intractable cycle.  Aleve and Benadryl can be used to help with abortive withdrawal.\n\ncannontekstar\n_____________________\nWe started HelloMD because I was a chronic migraine sufferer and cannabis stopped my migraines. Not everyone may receive benefit from cannabis as there are many different kinds of migraines. That said, it is worth a try. \n\nI was able to control my migraines through a change in diet, exercise, vitamin supplements and a daily regime of CBD, which I take every single day without fail.\n\nI wrote this article many months ago and it has been one of our most popular posts.

Even the hemp oils do tend to have a small dose of THC in them. Be sure you're well hydrated and you can try the cannabis Salve on your neck coming that will often break my Migraine if I use it quickly enough. Also be sure to eliminate all the foods that you might be allergic to, such as all aged cheese, even Parmesan on the pizza may precipitate a migraine.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nYes CBD can definitely help your migraines. You may want to look into a tincture that is high in CBD with just a tiny bit of THC. The tiny bit of THC can help with amplifying the effects of the CBD. An extremely low amount of THC will not result in any psychoactivity, so you'll be safe in that respect. \n\ngreendoorwest","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7211-markdown","title":"Hi - I have dosing questions re.

Thanks for your help. \"\n_____________________\nCannabis is a very safe herb with no potential for overdose or toxic side effects. Use as much as you need to achieve relief. Sublingual tinctures and sprays are most effective when the liquid is absorbed in the mouth by the mucous membranes, which will then deliver the medicinal compounds directly to the bloodstream. Before you use the spray, remove excess saliva from your oral cavity. Effects are usually apparent within about 30 minutes with the peak affects at about an hour and often lasting several hours.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7104-markdown","title":"I get frequent tension headaches.

One of the reasons I got my card was to deal with occasional migraines - so it felt counterproductive.\"\n_____________________\nCertain strains can produce more of stimulating high that could trigger headaches. I personally use cannabis to help with migraines and I have found that Sativa strains occasionally trigger headaches and more so when I mix different Sativa flowers together to be smoked. Knowing this I have started to exclusively smoke Indica or Hybrids that are Indica dominate.  Strains with traces of CBD also relax the body and can help relieve headaches. It is also important to remember that topicals can be applied to the temples for some relief from headaches.\n\nBartSmart","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7090-markdown","title":"I wake up every morning with a headache and nausea","slug":"i-wake-up-every-morning-with-a-headache-and-nausea","content":"\"I have found putting a dab of Sweet ReLeaf balm under my nostrils helps.  Is it safe to also put some on my lips?  Thank you.\"\n_____________________\nI am glad to hear you say a dab under your nostrils helps. I'm assuming it helps with the nausea? One of our patients told me her head ached so badly that she was nauseous to the point of vomiting and she did the same thing, rubbed it under her nose and also on her temples and it calmed the nausea down right away and also helped her headache. I've had others tell me they rub it on their shoulders to lessen or even avoid a migraine altogether by loosening up tense shoulder muscles. I do believe its safe to put on your lips although because there are essential oils in the formula, you should do this with caution particularly if you are very sensitive as it could feel hot on sensitive areas like the lips. I just tried it on my lips and it actually feels pretty good!\n\ndidi","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6993-markdown","title":"What product is best for severe migraine headache?","slug":"what-product-is-best-for-severe-migraine-headache","content":"\n_____________________\nAccording to research, inhalation methods of cannabis are the fastest and most effective treatment for migraine headaches.

I don’t know if they work better as a preventative, but if I use Harlequin regularly, my migraines are less frequent and less severe when they do happen.

Luckily, there are many different ways to ingest CBD, topically, vaporized, edibles, tinctures, concentrates. CBD is the non-psychoactive cannabinoid found within the plant. CBD is known to assist with: reduction of nausea and vomiting, seizure suppression, anti-psychotic, anti-inflammatory, fights cancer cell growth, combats anxiety and depression, amongst many others.\n\nCBD also counteracts the negative effects of THC by reducing the paranoia and memory impairment that goes along with the euphoric sensation. CBD can leave you feeling more alert as it also counteracts the sleep-inducing effects of THC as well. In contrast with, pharmaceutical painkillers, CBD pain regimens can help reduce the stress placed on your liver and kidneys. \n\nOne of the biggest findings to come out of CBD research is its power and potential to fight cancer cells. According to the National Cancer Institute, several studies show that cannabidiol may have a protective effect against breast, colorectal and lung cancers.\n\nmetafizics","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6700-markdown","title":"I have migraine headaches. What would you recommend?","slug":"i-have-migraine-headaches-what-would-you-recommend","content":"\n_____________________\nCannabis has been used to treat migraines for quite some time. I would start with a CBD rich whole plant cannabis extract in a sublingual tincture format. Experiment with different ratios and strains. Topicals can also be applied directly to the head, and vaporizers can provide immediate relief.\n\nandrewvanmd\n_____________________\nMigraines are treated in 2 ways: Preventing headaches from occurring and aborting headaches when they do occur. \n\nFor preventing headaches (Ignore this portion if your headaches are not frequent enough to require prevention...you can skip to the section on Aborting the headaches that Do occur): \nTHC is probably best known for being the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. CBD, however, is non-psychoactive. In other words, CBD can’t get you high. CBD is fantastic for daytime use in those who wish to be functional and alert without any brain fog. The higher the CBD ratio to THC, the less likely you will have unwanted psychogenic stimulation, but still benefit from the other medicinal actions of the cannabinoids. For migraine, I recommend using pure CBD oil as a preventative daily sublingual tinctures for rapid onset relief of anxiety and chronic pain due to inflammation. This gets absorbed through the blood stream and work just as fast as smoking marijuana. Pure CBD oils have a build up effect. Thus, using them daily will result in improvement after about two weeks.The cannabinoid CBD is immediately calming as well as analgesic, anti-inflammatory and immune modulating. Care By Design 18:1 CBD spray and CBD Kind drops are available in dispensary's and collectives throughout the state. Other popular and widely available high CBD tinctures include RevividCBD, Canna Drops. CBD is also available as a long acting gel cap via Tetralabs.com and as Kindcaps Indica. \n\n\nAborting Headaches: \nWhen migraines DO occur, I recommend a 1:1 CBD/THC as it also provides the benefits of THC (This is a 50-50% mix of CBD and THC). A pure THC substance runs the risk of increased anxiety and paranoia. A 1:1 mix will provide a synergistic effect between CBD and THC (tese compounds work well together to produce a greater effect) and will also create a euphoric effect and help to eliminate an acute pain episode. This can also be found in a tincture form. \n\ndrsara","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6676-markdown","title":"I got the firefly 1, has anyone had success avoiding or relieving","slug":"i-got-the-firefly-1-has-anyone-had-success-avoiding-or-relieving","content":"\"Chronic headaches using Herbal Renewals Cbd oil, with this vaporizer?\"\n_____________________\nI have both the Firefly 1 and the Firefly 2.
