Introduction to Medical Grade Cannabis Oil
Cannabis oil is extracted from the cannabis plant, Cannabis oil infused with
cannabinoids like cannabidiol (CBD) or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are
extremely beneficial in treating pain, inflammation, anxiety, nausea and
vomiting, appetite issues and muscle spasms. THC is psychoactive and CBD
is anti-psychotic, but a blend of more CBD to less THC is non-psychoactive
and a very useful medication.
Medical grade cannabis oil can be taken in the form of capsules, tinctures,
oils, suppositories, dermal patches, oral sprays, vaporising oils and edibles.
The Entourage Effect
CBD can modulate the psychoactive properties of THC when they are used
together to treat things like pain. This is called the entourage effect. It
happens when the various compounds and chemicals in the cannabis plant
cooperate to create a combined effect that is greater than their effects
when used alone.
The Entourage Effect can also include the other terpenes and cannabinoids
in the cannabis plant. Terpenes are a large, assorted class of organic
compounds, produced by a variety of plants including the cannabis plant.
They work with cannabinoids to have a beneficial effect on human health.
CBD is not intoxicating and can be used to treat things like insomnia, anxiety,
stress, spasticity, nerve and joint pain. THC, on the other hand, is a recognised
pain killer, anti-inflammatory, appetite stimulant and can treat nausea and
vomiting, anxiety, depression, muscle spasms and nerve pain.
Cannabinoid medications have been created now that are specifically
prescribed by doctors for precise health issues. Some of these are called
dronabinol and nabilone (capsules) and nabiximol (oral spray).

Cannabinoids and the Endocannabinoid System in the
Human Body
Cannabinoids are part of a group of various chemical compounds that act
on cannabinoid receptors within the human brain.
Cannabinoids can be extracted from the cannabis plant and used to treat
a myriad of health conditions. They can be taken orally, rubbed onto the
skin, smoked, inhaled, eaten, swallowed or inserted as suppositories.
Trans-delta -9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary psychoactive
cannabinoid present in the cannabis plant. Another primary cannabinoid is
cannabidiol (CBD) which is not psychoactive but is anti-psychotic. So, when
THC and CBD are used together, in a ratio of more CBD to THC, they are
extremely therapeutic.
Endocannabinoids are part of the endocannabinoid system (ECS), a
biological system that moderates several physiological and cognitive
processes, contributing to a healthy immune system. These processes
include fertility, appetite, moods, pain sensation, memory and hormones.
Endocannabinoids are endogenous lipid-based retrograde
neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptor proteins. These are
discharged throughout the central nervous system, brain and peripheral
nervous system.
Cannabis contains at least 113 cannabinoids which trigger the
endocannabinoid receptors, especially CB1 and CB2, in various parts of the
body. CBD binds to the CB2 receptors while THC clings to the CB1 receptors.
The ECS helps maintain homeostasis in the body and manages several
diseases. This explains why taking cannabinoids helps to control disease as
they cooperate with the endocannabinoid system, mimicking different
endocannabinoids.
CB1 receptors are found mainly in the brain, liver, intestines and central and
peripheral nervous systems and affect memory, pain, stress, appetite and
sleep.
CB2 receptors are found mainly in the immune system and control
inflammation and tissue injury.

Healing Properties of Cannabis
More people are turning to medical grade cannabis oil to treat their
respective illnesses. Mothers are treating children with epilepsy, while others
are breaking away from pharmaceutical drugs and their harsh side effects.
All of them are using non-invasive, yet very effective, cannabis oils and
tinctures to self-medicate a multitude of issues successfully.
Recent research is finding that cannabinoids in cannabis can be used
medically to treat pain, nausea, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis muscle spasms,
seizures caused by epilepsy, and trauma. Cannabinoids are chemical
compounds which are being used even now to decrease brain damage
associated with Alzheimer’s Disease, and to slow down the spread of cancer
by targeting cancerous tumours.
Cannabinoids bind to cells with help from two groups of molecules called
receptors. CB1 receptors occur mostly in the brain, where new memories are
created and where pain is perceived. CB2 receptors are found mainly in the
immune system which stimulates inflammation if there is any disease of the
body.
THC tends to bind with CB1 receptors in the brain, reducing the release of
various signalling molecules, including dopamine. This explains the high
people feel when taking THC. The THC also stimulates appetite, overpowers
nausea and interrupts the spread of pain signals. THC can also be used to
disturb the growth of cancer cells as it binds to the CB2 receptors on these
cells, thereby not affecting the healthy cells at all.
Cannabis has so many positive healing properties it is very difficult to list them
here. But we will list the many benefits of using cannabis and how cannabis
can boost your health. Cannabis oil, packed with healing cannabinoids and
terpenes, is an alternative medical therapy which can heal common
disorders and chronic diseases.

Common Disorders:
 Weight issues - cannabis oil is known to regulate the production of
insulin which assists the body to manage its calorie intake better. If you take
CBD, you do not feel hungry and if you take THC, it stimulates your appetite.
CBD would be better for obese people, and THC would be better for
anorexics or people with HIV/AIDS and Cancer.
 Anxiety and Stress - CBD-infused cannabis oil can alleviate worry and
stress thanks to its calming compounds. It is an anti-anxiety medication.
 Glaucoma – taking the right cannabis oil helps to reduce the pressure
in the eyeball which gives glaucoma patients temporary relief.
 Addiction – taking cannabis oil can reduce the reliance of some
people on alcohol, drugs and opiates. The cannabis replaces the drug by
alleviating pain, depression and anxiety. The addict feels calmer and can
better control the addictive impulses with cannabis as a standby “drug”
which has no negative side effects.
 Muscle spasms – cannabis oil can calm down, and alleviate
inflammation in, the muscle. The twitching of muscles and the pain
associated with this condition will benefit from taking cannabis oil.
 Nausea and vomiting – cannabis oil can decrease and eradicate
feelings of nausea and vomiting associated with many illnesses, including
cancer and chemotherapy. Cannabinoids interact with receptors in the
brain to control these feelings of nausea and vomiting.
 Headaches and migraines – taking cannabis oil for headaches
replaces the terrible side effects of strong pain killers people usually take for
head pain. This natural therapy works when the cannabinoids interact with
receptors in the brain to stop the pain. Pharmaceuticals can damage the
liver, kidneys, heart and stomach.
 Seizures – cannabis oil can reduce the intensity and frequency of
seizures if taken in the required doses several times a day. Many epileptics
benefit from the use of cannabis oil for their seizures, instead of using strong
pharmaceutical drugs.
 Broken bones – heal faster when you take cannabis oil when the CBD
and the collagen react as chemicals and trigger faster healing processes.
 Skin conditions – cannabis oil can heal eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis,
acne and dry or aging skin when applied as a cream directly to the skin. The
cannabinoids bind with receptors in the skin to trigger healing processes.
 Arthritis – cannabis oil can heal arthritis as it is a natural anti-
inflammatory. Cannabinoids interact with receptors in the joints to reduce
inflammation and pain, reducing swelling and tissue issues in the joints.
 Asthma attacks – cannabis can act as a bronchodilator when taken
orally; the cannabinoids interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system
to reduce asthma symptoms and to allow better breathing.

 Blood pressure – cannabis oil can reduce blood pressure, assisting
people with hypertension. The CBD reduces anxiety and stress and promotes
better sleep patterns.
 Panic attacks – cannabis oil is a natural anti-anxiety compound which
reduces stress and panic attacks. Take it throughout the day, at regular
intervals, for maximum benefit.
Chronic Diseases:
 Diabetes – cannabis oil helps to regulate the production of insulin and
controls appetite and metabolism. It helps people to take control of their
eating habits, to sleep better and to reduce their anxiety.
 Cancer – cannabis oil has been shown to force cancer cells to commit
suicide, reduce the formation of cancerous tumours and stop the spread of
tumours. It can also stop the formation of new blood vessels for tumours to
spread. Take it alongside chemotherapy and it will also treat the symptoms
of the chemo: nausea and vomiting, depression, low appetite, insomnia and
pain.
 Alzheimer’s Disease – slows down the deterioration of the brain as
sufferers lose cognitive ability. The cannabinoids interact with receptors in
the brain and at least ensure patients longer lives where they cope better
with their dementia.
 HIV/AIDS – cannabis oil works with the body’s endocannabinoid
system to boost the immune system. It also increases appetite, beats
insomnia, benefits nausea and vomiting, and treats inflammation and pain.
It also helps AIDS patients cope with their depression better.
 Depression – when cannabis is used to return normal functioning to
endocannabinoids, it also renews a positive outlook on life and improved
moods. The endocannabinoid system regulates moods, appetite, hormones
and other factors that affect depression. Cannabinoids enable the ECS to
remain in a healthy balance and those with depression can wean
themselves off damaging medications.
 Multiple Sclerosis – cannabis oil helps to reduce tremors, muscle spasms
and pain, also enabling a good night’s sleep and a better appetite. It also
reduces stress and anxiety.
 Autism and ADHD – cannabis oil is a gentler, more natural therapy that
can help to reduce the symptoms of autism and ADHD with no side effects.
The patient is calmer, is less moody, eats better, sleeps better and can
handle stress better.
Medical grade cannabis oil can heal your life. It boosts your health, improves
your self-esteem and allows your body to do its job in maintaining a healthy
state of homeostasis. Replace your daily pill intake with cannabis oil and feel
the difference in a matter of days. Cannabis oil does what other expensive
drugs do, but at no cost to your future.

Different Cannabis Strains and their Properties
Cannabis oil is an extraction obtained from cannabis and contains
numerous chemical compounds that are known as cannabinoids. The two
most prominent cannabinoids, increasingly used to treat numerous ailments,
are cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The best cannabis
oil is derived from medical grade high quality, organic cannabis, not
affected by chemicals or pesticides.
THC and CBD are derived when heat is applied to cannabis and cannabis
acids are activated to produce the cannabinoids we know. So, when THCA
(tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is heated, it creates THC. When CBDA
(Cannabidiolic acid) is heated, it creates CBD. There are 8 main
cannabinoid acids produced by cannabis, which when heated, become
cannabinoids. The other ones are:
 CBGA (Cannabigerolic acid) – CBG (Cannabigerol)
 CBCA (Cannabichromenenic acid) – CBC (Cannabichromene)
 CBGVA (Cannabigerovarinic acid) – CBGV (Cannabigerivarin)
 THCVA (Tetrahydrocanabivarinic acid) – THCV
(Tetrahydrocannabivarin)
 CBDVA (Cannabidivarinic acid) – CBDV (Cannabidivarin)
 CBCVA (Cannabichromevarinic acid) – CBCV (Cannabichromevarin)
Many cannabinoid acids have antibiotic or insecticidal properties because
the cannabis plant makes these compounds to protect itself.
A Closer Look at THC and CBD
 THC is the main psychoactive cannabinoid in the cannabis plant, out
of hundreds of different cannabinoids. It interacts with receptors in the brain,
hence the feeling of being high, or euphoric. It is therefore able to control
pain, protect nerves and assist with the formation of new neurons in the
brain.
 CBD is a very common and popular cannabinoid which offers so many
benefits to human health that it is fast becoming the next big alternative
medication. It does not make the user high and can also mitigate the effects
of the high that the THC causes. Research is ongoing and reveals that CBD
can treat numerous common conditions and chronic diseases, including
cancer.

Main Differences Between CBD and THC
THC affects the mind, being psychoactive; CBD is non psychoactive and
successfully helps to mitigate the effects of THC.
 THC can assist the body as an appetite stimulant, pain reliever and
anti-inflammatory. CBD has numerous benefits for the body especially
inflammation, energy and pain.
 THC is available mainly as edibles and powerful extracts; CBD comes
in the form of tinctures, drops, capsules and suppositories. Both can come in
creams for muscle and joint pain.

Treatment Guidelines
Choosing to take medical cannabis as your personal natural medication is
a big step away from controlling pharmaceuticals. Many cannabis
dispensaries and doctors who believe in the herb are saying that self-
medication is best. Learning how to self-dose is important when choosing
cannabis as every person is different and every dose will be different.
Cannabis also varies in intensity and affects young people, old people, sick
people and healthy people differently. Remember that taking CBD is non-
toxic and will not affect you negatively. Taking THC will give you a high -
make you feel euphoric - and may cause other side effects if not managed.
Taking CBD and THC as a blend, where CBD is stronger, works well as the
psychoactive qualities of the THC are then mitigated. CBD is non-psychotic
and an antioxidant.
There is really no such thing as overdosing with CBD, a natural antioxidant
which is non-psychoactive. But you need to be careful when dosing with
THC as you may feel the side effects. But even so, they will not harm you in
the way that overdosing with pharmaceuticals can harm the patient. Taking
too much THC may cause psychosis for a while, a bit of paranoia and maybe
the munchies - but will not leave lasting damage.
Most people who choose to take cannabis oil as their medication do play
around a bit with the dose to see how much they need before they feel the
effects. Taking CBD during the day will probably make you drowsy. Taking it
at night is better and then the dose can be increased. Use trial and error
dosing until you find the right dose for your condition and you.
Taking cannabis oil orally is the best approach as it is convenient and can
go with you in your handbag. Oral medication allows instant relaxation and
has a good impact on the brain. Be sure to let the cannabis have time to
make a difference.
Hard drugs have a huge impact on your body and mind, so allow this gentle
medication to do its work gently and naturally. Don’t expect side effects, just
expect to be healed. Use capsules or tinctures. The oil will soothe the
intestinal tract, decreasing inflammation and assisting patients with digestive
issues. Capsules act rapidly, being useful for chronic diseases. Other options
include juicing, edibles, suppositories and inhaling.

Intake Methods
 Juicing - making juice out of raw cannabis and flushing the body with
this goodness has worked to allow recovery and a return to health. Some
people with dire autoimmune diseases like Crohn’s Disease, Fibromyalgia or
Rheumatoid Arthritis have opted for the juicing option. Every cannabis oil is
different, and every patient is different, so effects do vary.
 Sublingual (Tinctures & Oils) – taking the cannabis under the tongue is
a rapid effective way of getting the benefits of the cannabinoids. Cannabis
tinctures are an ancient form of medication, harking back thousands of
years. Cannabis oils with a higher CBD ratio can also be dropped under the
tongue, benefitting patients of all ages. This is the easiest method for children
and the taste is also bearable.
 Capsules - When you consume cannabis oil in capsules, you know you
will get a steady dose. Each cannabis plant offers differing degrees of THC
or CBD. But some of the best capsules are pre-dosed, combined with 100%
organic coconut butter and made from natural gelatine for better
absorption by the body.
 Topical – balms, creams, lotions, ointments, patches, oils. Always non-
psychoactive and easy to use. Feel instant effects in painful areas of the skin
and joints, muscles and tissues. Topical cannabis oil works to relieve pain,
inflammation and itchy skin, not forgetting swelling joints and muscles.
Creams need to be constantly and liberally re-applied and treat psoriasis,
eczema, arthritis, restless leg syndrome, muscle spasms, cramps and more.
 Patches - cannabinoids can dissolve in fat and alcohol - THC and CBD
can pass through the skin, directly into the blood stream and are non-
invasive. Patches are still being tested and can really take off as it is so quick
and easy. Ideal for those who do not want to inhale their cannabis, or
swallow capsules. Stick the patch onto the inner skin of the wrist, the ankle
or the top of the foot where skin is dry and hairless.
 Suppositories – ideal for patients who are very ill and need stronger
doses of CBD or THC. It is very easy, and the cannabis oil goes directly into
the lower colon, into the bloodstream. It works extremely well and is long
lasting, benefiting the liver, pancreas and internal organs, especially if the
patient has cancer. The only drawback is that this should be done at home,
and the suppositories should be kept in the fridge. Simply insert a ball of
cannabis medication into the rectum where it is absorbed into the lower
colon.

Cannabis and Cancer
Cancer cells are unlike healthy cells as they do not die but continue to
spread and multiply. When cancer patients take cannabis oils constantly for
a period, they keep up the metabolic pressure on cancer cells to die and to
stop proliferating. It is therefore safe to say that cannabis oil can kill your
cancer.
Studies have revealed that THC and CBD interact with CB1 and CB2
cannabinoid receptors on cancer cells which encourages increased
ceramide. This forces the cancer cells to commit suicide, or experience
programmed cell death, which is essential for the maintenance of normal
cellular homeostasis and is an important physiological response to many
forms of cellular stress.
Cancer is one disease everyone dreads. Cancer kills. Some people do
survive cancer and have lived to tell their stories. This is because cancer can
be treated. Cancer has many symptoms, depending on where it starts.
These all contribute to making the disease very uncomfortable.
But there is hope. Cannabis oil can treat cancer symptoms. Research carried
out in laboratories also reveals that cannabis oil can reverse the spread of
cancer. We recommend combining cannabis oil medication with an
alkaline diet, packed with foods rich in iron. Add to this plenty of freshly
squeezed fruit and vegetable juices, with alkaline water daily. The cannabis
oil will work well with this health fix, boosting the immune system and
encouraging a more positive outlook on life as the patient starts to feel
better.
What is Cancer?
Cancer is a chronic disease when normal cells start to grow out of control,
forcing normal cells out of an area of the body. A group of cells experiences
abnormal and uncontrolled growth, forming a lump or mass. The body can
no longer function as a healthy entity.
Remember that cancer is more than just one disease - it is a group of
diseases involving this unusual cell growth which can invade the body. There
are many kinds of cancer which start anywhere in the body, yet spread in
unique ways.
In a healthy body, cells work hard, dividing in a logical way. Then they die
when they are old or damaged – and new cells grow in their place. Cancer
cells, however, continue to grow and divide, grow and divide – without
dying. They therefore do not make way for new cells and start to crowd out
the normal, healthy cells. They spread, in a process known as metastasis.

Some cancers spread fast, others are slower; some cancers respond well to
treatment, others do not. Some cancers respond to surgery while others
respond to chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The good news is that cancer
can be treated. Many people lead healthy, full lives after cancer treatment.
Symptoms of Cancer
 Coughing-up blood, incessant coughing or hoarse voice
 Insistent headaches
 Mysterious loss of weight or appetite
 Serious pain in bones
 Continuous fatigue, nausea, or vomiting
 Persistent low-grade fever
 Frequent infections
 Change in bowel or bladder functions
 Sores that do not heal
 Strange bleeding or discharge
 Thickening or lump in the breast or elsewhere
 Indigestion or difficulty in swallowing
 Change in a wart or mole
Cancer Risk Factors
 Age – cancer takes years to develop so usually hits people in later life,
from age 65 and older.
 Lifestyle habits – smoking, drinking alcohol, sun exposure, obesity,
unsafe sex
 Family history – mutations can be passed from one generation to the
next
 Health – stay healthy and fit to avoid coming down with any chronic
illness
 Environment – harmful chemicals, pollution, stress, other factors
These risk factors still do not determine for sure whether someone gets
cancer or not.

How Can Cannabis Oil Help Treat Cancer?
Cannabis oil has several anti-cancer properties. It is anti-emetic (decreases
nausea and vomiting), anti-tumour (hinders the growth of tumours),
analgesic (relieves pain), stimulates appetite, reduces stress and insomnia.
This means that cannabis oil can be used to treat the symptoms of cancer,
and to reduce the progress of the cancer.
Let us look at these one by one:
 Anti-emetic - CBD can work with the body’s endocannabinoid system,
activating specific receptors in the brain that help to suppress nausea and
vomiting.
 Anti-tumour – Cannabinoids can suppress tumours by forcing cancer
cells to commit suicide. This also hinders the growth of cells and slows down
the development of blood vessels that tumours depend on to grow.
Cannabinoids can also stop metastasis, the breaking away of cancer cells
from a tumour, to form a new tumour elsewhere in the body, using the blood
or lymph system as their conveyer belt.
 Analgesic – Cannabinoids cling to CB1 endocannabinoid receptors in
the central nervous system and in the peripheral nerve endings. They also
cling to CB2 endocannabinoid receptors in peripheral tissue of the immune
system. Cannabinoids reduce pain when they act on the spine and
surrounding regions of the body, influencing pain pathways travelling up and
down this central and peripheral nervous system. CBD and THC are both
natural anti-inflammatory compounds – when CBD clings to CB2 receptors,
it releases anti-inflammatory agents including serotonin and histamine –
having an effect like that of morphine.
 Appetite stimulation – the body’s innate endocannabinoid system
regulates many systems within the immune system, including appetite. THC
is a great appetite stimulant in that it clings to CB1 receptors in the brain
which could be linked to the perceptions of eating and getting rewards.
 Stress and insomnia – The endocannabinoid system can help to
regulate moods and destroy any unpleasant, negative memories. CBD is a
known anti-anxiety compound, calming people down and reducing stress.
When cannabinoids work with the endocannabinoid system, they can
induce better sleep patterns, so reducing insomnia and allowing the patient
to calm down, eat well and sleep.
How Does Cannabis Oil Kill Cancer?
When CBD and THC connect to CB1 or CB2 endocannabinoid receptor sites
on cancer cells, they can cause increased synthesis of ceramide which
leads to cell death. Normal cells are not affected. The source of energy for
the cancer to live is extinguished. The ceramide disrupts the digestive system

within the cancer cell and impedes nutritional pathways. A cancer patient
who takes THC and CBD regularly, over time, can keep metabolic pressure
on these cancer cell death pathways.
Panacea suggested treatment guidelines for Cancer:
Due to the nature of cancer, we would suggest pure organic medical grade
THC/CBD oil. You would need to take 5 drops orally three times daily, in
addition we would suggest 1 x 200mg THC/CBD capsule that would need to
be taken just before you go to sleep at night for a month and then assess
how the condition has improved.

Cannabis Oil and Children
Parents can educate themselves about cannabis oil and its innate healing
qualities. Knowledge is indeed power and if parents learn that cannabis oil
is a non-psychoactive chemical compound with powerful healing qualities,
then they may give it safely to their children. Already, some children have
used cannabis oil to treat epilepsy, autism and even cancer.
Parents should do their homework about medical cannabis. The cannabis
plant comprises numerous cannabinoids, or chemical compounds, which
can interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system to nurture health.
Cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are two of the main
cannabinoids used to make medical cannabis oil products.
CBD is non-psychoactive making it a good medical therapy for children. It is
used to treat common ailments such as headaches, insomnia, stress, lack of
appetite and nausea. It also benefits chronic diseases such as Cancer,
Fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease. It can treat
diseases of the brain and body because the cannabinoids interact with
endocannabinoid receptors in the brain, central nervous system and
immune system to ensure the body remains in a state of homeostasis.
Cannabinoids will even go as far as forcing cancer cells to commit cell
suicide, shrinking tumours and stopping them spreading around the body.
Be careful when using THC to dose children. This is a fantastic panacea for
pain, epilepsy and other conditions, but should rather be taken in tandem
with CBD to alleviate the high it causes.
Studies are showing that cannabis oil is a better medication to choose for
autism than some pharmaceutical drugs. Children can safely take cannabis
oil in small doses, specifically when the oil is mostly CBD. Children suffer all
kinds of anxieties and conditions when they are in social and school
situations – often these are “abnormal” environments where they cannot be
themselves.
Autism and ADHD are increasingly diagnosed these days - children are
taking heavy drugs to treat their conditions so that they can fit into “normal”
environments with their peers. CBD is a useful cannabis extract for reducing
seizures, anxiety, insomnia and nausea. CBD-infused cannabis oil is calming
and free from side effects that other drugs do have.
When a child has autism, the brain does not develop normally regarding
social and communication skills. Some doctors say that autism is a result of
too few endocannabinoids. So, adding cannabinoids like CBD to the child’s
immune system can only help.

Children who have ADHD are suffering too little dopamine in their brains. This
neurotransmitter regulates attention, memory and other important cognitive
actions in the brain. Cannabinoids like CBD interact with receptors in the
brain to help manage the dopamine. The child can therefore concentrate
better and calm down a lot. This is far better than a drug like Ritalin which
has terrible side effects.
Panacea suggested treatment guidelines for children:
You would use the Panacea CBD/THC tincture, dosage is weight based.
Example dosage schedule:
5-15kg (1 drop twice daily)
15kg – 30kg (2 drops twice daily)
30kg -45kg (3 drops twice daily)
45kg-80kg (4 drops twice daily)

Cannabis Oil and Pets
More veterinarians are accepting cannabidiol (CBD) as a compelling way
to treat numerous illnesses in puppies and felines. This includes nervousness,
lack of appetite, stress and pain.
There are two main chemical compounds in the cannabis plant, which
comprises numerous different cannabinoids. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)
and cannabidiol (CBD) cling to certain receptors in your body and brain
which are part of the innate endocannabinoid system. Even dogs have an
endocannabinoid system. Before you treat your sick dog with cannabis oil,
see which kind of cannabinoid suits the illness. THC is great for inflammation,
but a blend of THC and CBD is better as the CBD takes away the psychotic
properties of the THC (which makes patients high).
It is always difficult to know how much cannabis oil to give your sick dog, but
you need to ensure it works. You do not want your dog to feel any side
effects of the THC which will disorientate them. It can take a few hours for
the cannabis oil to work on your sick dog. If you think the dog is not
responding enough, increase the dosage a little. An overdose means your
dog is wobbly, spaced out, not eating or drinking and battling to stand up.
Then you take your dog to the vet. Never leave your dog alone if dosing with
cannabis. Use CBD strains rather than THC strains just to be on the safe side
as CBD is a natural medication with NO side effects.
The answer to dosing your pet is not to assume that they are people. So,
don’t try to give them people-sized measurements of cannabis as this could
end in disaster. The good news is that cannabis oil can be used to treat
similar conditions in pets that humans have – anxiety, arthritis and cancer to
name a few. Some pet owners have successfully treated joint inflammation,
nervousness and seizures in their cats and dogs.
Before you give your dog cannabis oil, make sure:
 It is only CBD based,
 It is organic (so free from pesticides and fungicides),
 It is in tincture form so that your dog can easily ingest the drops,
 It is good quality – so pay for a good cannabis oil for your dogs.
You can use cannabis oil to treat your dogs if they suffer from these ill-health
issues:
 Anxiety – the cannabis oil is calming and will help your dog get a good
night’s sleep

 Seizures – CBD has proven to reduce seizures and their frequency - also
in dogs
 Cancer – dogs with cancer have nothing to lose by trying CBD. Studies
show that cannabinoids stop cancer cells from growing and tumours from
spreading. CBD also relieves symptoms of cancer treatments, making the
dogs more comfortable.
Methods to Give Your Dog Cannabis Oil:
 Cannabis oil – put a little oil in a piece of meat or a treat you usually
give your dog. Or squirt the oil into the dog’s mouth using a syringe
 Cannabis oil creams – this can be used for arthritis or for dogs not
wanting to eat. It is great for skin allergies and joints. Choose a natural cream
including coconut or olive oils if your dog licks himself.
 Cannabis oil tinctures – do the same as with the oil – squirt into the sick
dog’s mouth with a syringe or put a few drops in his favourite snack
 Cannabis oil edibles – you can make cannabis oil butter and insert this
into the dog’s food or you can buy ready-made dog biscuits containing
cannabis oil in some countries. Do not give your dog human edibles
containing cannabis
5-15kg (1 drop twice daily)

Alternative treatments suggestions
Being diagnosed with cancer feels like a death sentence. But there is always
hope. Many people survive cancer. We advocate the healthiest lifestyle
possible. A blend of natural therapies and fresh foods. The key is to cleanse
the body of abnormal cells which means eliminating all toxins and
contaminants that could feed the cancer.
Cancer is a word for more than one version of a terrible disease. Cells divide
uncontrollably which causes abnormal cell growth and tumours. These
abnormal wild cells occupy adjacent tissues, spreading into the body.
Cancer patients can help to fight their cancer by eating a diet rich in
antioxidants and anti-inflammatory foods. Choose fresh foods that fight
damage caused by too many free radicals. Only eat organic, grass-fed,
free-range and additive free foods, straight from the earth.
These foods include leafy green vegetables, cruciferous vegetables, orange
coloured vegetables and fruits, berries, fresh herbs and spices, organic
meats, wild-caught fish, cultured dairy products, nuts and seeds, unrefined
oils, mushrooms and green tea.
At the same time, cleanse your immediate environment from toxins –
electromagnetic waves from technology like cell phones and computers,
processed foods, commercial beauty and cleaning products, plastics and
unfiltered water.
We advocate a raw, plant-based diet, rich in alkaline water. Juice your fresh
produce as often as you can and make sure to get enough iron, selenium
and apricot kernels per day as required to fight cancer.

Alkaline Water
Cancer cells thrive in an acidic environment, so most cancer patients start a
strict alkaline diet when they are diagnosed. Alkaline foods include organic
fruits and vegetables, beans and other pulses, whole grains, sprouts, grasses,
nuts and seeds and cold-pressed plant oils.
Now you can add alkaline water to the mix for your cancer. This will help to
fight the acid in your bloodstream, at the same time improving your
metabolism and assisting your body to absorb important vitamins better.
When your body is brimming with alkaline goodness, the cancer cells have
no real food to keep them alive – pH levels are balanced and the cancer is
supposed to slow down and even stop. But is this true?
There is not enough research into the effects of alkaline water on cancer, as
this is an alternative therapy and far too cheap for pharmaceutical
concerns to promote the idea! The best part about drinking alkaline water
when you have cancer is that it hydrates your body, improves symptoms of
acid reflux and other signs of acidity. When the World Health Organisation
(WHO) updated the guidelines on the quality of drinking water, they did not
mention what pH it should be.
https://www.cannabistherapy.co.za/conditions/cancer/alkaline-water-
cancer/
Normal drinking water has a pH of 7. Alkaline water has a pH of 8 or 9. Many
people believe that this alkalinity can neutralise acids in the body. A pH of
anything between 1 and 7 is acidic. There is very little scientific evidence to
substantiate this, but anecdotal evidence does show that an alkaline body
is better than an acidic body if cancer is to be overcome. Alkaline water has
these health properties:
 Supports the immune system
 Cleanses the colon
 Assists with weight loss
 Hydrates the skin and detoxifies
 Assists with anti-aging
 Resists cancer

Plant-based Diet
Choose to eat fresh vegetables, fruits and unprocessed foods that come
from plants. This will ensure your body remains in a state of balance, more
alkaline than acidic. Studies show that the pH of urine is more alkaline with
such a diet, helping to protect the heathy cells.
A diet rich in unprocessed fresh plant foods can reduce disease and death
from ill-health caused by hypertension, diabetes, vitamin D deficiency,
arthritis, low bone density and more. Alkaline diets apparently build stronger
bones, reduce muscle spasms or wasting, prevent plaque formation in the
blood vessels and stop calcium forming in the urine, and kidney stones in the
kidneys.
Many people believe that disease cannot start in a body whose pH is
balanced. An acidic pH can cause disease and the best pH is said to be
between 7.35 and 7.45. So, if someone eats too much protein and grains,
their acid load increases. This raises calcium in the urine and more calcium
is released from the bones, resulting in osteoporosis.
There are many benefits to sticking to an alkaline diet:
 Assists with a healthy immune system and cancer prevention
 Reduces pain and inflammation
 Helps stick to a healthy weight
 Lowers risk for high blood pressure and strokes
 Enhances absorption of vitamins and avoids magnesium deficiency
 Protects bone density and muscle mass
Stick to a diet packed with fruits and vegetables, soybeans and tofu, nuts
and seeds, and legumes for an alkaline-enriched pH. Avoid acidic foods
such as meat, eggs, diary, most grains and all processed foods.
Eat vegan foods to build a body that is so healthy that cancer cells have no
hope of living there. The immune system and central nervous systems
function in a balanced way. Studies reveal that vegans are less obese, have
lower blood pressure and very low cancer risk. Going vegan can switch on
genes that prevent cancer and switches off genes that cause cancer and
heart disease. So, even if you have cancer in the family, and you think you
are doomed, switch over to a meat-free, vegan diet and set yourself free of
your genes.

Raw Diet
Eating a raw food diet means eating 70% raw foods and avoiding cooked
or processed foods at all costs. Raw food is supposed to digest better and
provide the body with essential nutrients which can be easily absorbed. The
opposite happens when consuming food that is cooked or processed. Such
“foods” can be the cause of ill-health and disease.
The raw food is just that: eating foods straight from the Earth that include
fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds, sprouted grains and beans. Some
raw food diet followers also consume raw milk, cheese from raw milk, raw
fish and organic meat. This diet has these benefits:
 Decreased dangers of disease
 More weight loss
 Clearer, younger skin
 More energy and positivity
 Less depression and insomnia
 Decreased chances of inflammation
 Less calories, trans fats, sodium, saturated fats, sugar
 More potassium, magnesium, folate, Vitamins A and B, antioxidants,
fibre
Eat as many fresh and raw fruits and vegetables as you need. Then add:
 Proteins – lentils, beans, soy beans, chickpeas, peas, tofu, tempeh,
seitan (a protein made from wheat), soy drinks, nuts and seeds. There is
protein in whole grains and vegetables, brown rice and oats.
 Vitamin B12 -take fortified plant drinks, nutritional yeast, breakfast
cereals or soy products containing enough B12 – or take a supplement.
 Calcium – take fortified plant drinks, orange juice, beans, cooked
green leafy vegetables (kale, collards, Swiss chard, spinach), cooked
broccoli, almonds, tahini, and blackstrap molasses.
 Iron – eat plenty of beans, lentils, leafy green vegetables, whole grains,
dried fruit – and combine them with Vitamin C rich citrus fruits, strawberries,
red peppers and tomato juice for better absorption.
 Omega 3 fatty acids – ground flaxseed, flax oil, walnuts, soybeans.
The vegan diet is trending, and we know that 2018 is going to be the year to
go vegan. Drop meat and turn your awareness to your bodily and mental
health, the future of animals who are maltreated to make food for humans,
and the future of the planet.

trending/

Juicing
Fruit is the purest form of food on the planet. Vegetables come a close
second. Fruits and vegetables should be eaten raw and organic – especially
if you have cancer. Eating only raw organic fruit and vegetables is a vegan
diet – and juicing them is the best way to beat cancer.
Juicing fruits and vegetables increases your intake of healthy nutrients in a
shorter time and makes it easier to digest these fibrous foods. Some people
feel bloated if they eat large quantities of raw fruit and vegetables but when
they are juiced, the fibrous bits are left behind.
But juicing does not always do justice to the fruits or vegetables – or to you.
Juicing tends to leave out the best nutrients in the seeds and skin of many
fruits and vegetables which are extremely beneficial to patients with cancer.
Juicing for cancer should therefore be accompanied by food processing for
cancer to ensure these extra nutrients are also consumed. Get yourself a
juicer and food processor if you want to start juicing for cancer.
Dieticians have formulated special eating plans for people in stages 1, 2, 3
and 4 of cancer where specific fruits and vegetables need to be eaten in
specific ways to beat the cancer. Hundreds of these raw foods contain
cancer-killing nutrients which need to be combined with other nutrients to
fight the cancer. Using a food processor means you can grind the seeds and
skins of the plants to eat the mush and therefore get the innate nutrients you
need.
https://www.cannabistherapy.co.za/conditions/cancer/juicing-for-cancer/
When you drink a fresh juice, you are taking in more vitamins, minerals and
enzymes than a fresh fruit or vegetable can provide. And it is so easy to
digest and absorb into the bloodstream. Juicing also encourages
detoxification and better health and allows the stomach and intestines to
rest from digesting so much fibre when fruits and vegetables are eaten raw.
Make juices where you combine the necessary nutrients from varying
produce and voila, you have your vitamin and food in one glass!

Iron
Iron is needed in our bodies to keep red blood cells healthy. Iron carries
oxygen through the body. Haemoglobin in red blood cells is two thirds iron
and carries oxygen from the lungs around the body. Iron also produces new,
healthy cells which encourages the immune system to deny infection or
disease in the body. Iron also helps to change blood sugar into energy – so
muscles can work to their best potential and hair, nails and skin remain
healthy. Iron deficiency means constant fatigue and less energy, both
physically and mentally.
Women need 14.8mg of iron daily, men need 8.7mg daily. Heme iron is found
in animal foods, while non-heme iron comes from plant foods. It is best to eat
food rich in Vitamin C while eating non-heme iron foods to increase
absorption.
These heme iron rich foods will help: mussels, liver, beef, oysters, sardines, fish,
poultry and other seafoods.
Non-heme iron rich foods include: spinach, lentils, cooked beans, tofu, all
seeds, dried apricots, baked potatoes, wheat germ, nuts, raisins, broccoli,
beetroot and brown rice.
Some 20% of women are anaemic as they don’t get enough iron. Anaemia
is a result of too few red blood cells because there is not enough iron in the
body. The body then cannot produce enough haemoglobin, which is
needed to carry oxygen from the lungs, around the body. So, you feel weak
and tired.
It is best not to drink caffeinated drinks during meals or to mix foods rich in
calcium with iron rich foods. Rather eat your iron-rich foods with good
vitamin C sources such as broccoli, oranges, strawberries and lemon juice. If
you are still low in iron, you may need an iron supplement which you need
to chat to your doctor about. The last thing you need is too much iron in your
body!

Selenium
Wherever we go, carcinogens are around us – in millions of toxins
everywhere, from chemicals and smoke, to plastic and mercury. Mercury
can be deadly and can build up in strong concentrations in the kidneys, liver
and brain. It weakens these organs and can cause terrible damage.
But there is hope – you can detoxify your body with mineral selenium. And
the best source of selenium is brazil nuts. While these treats are expensive,
you only need about 6 a day to get all the selenium you need. Other
excellent sources of selenium include free-range eggs, mushrooms, shellfish,
meat and seeds.
Many people do not realise that they have high levels of mercury in their
bodies. Mercury taints cells by reducing their ability to create energy, by
stopping enzymatic activity and closing antioxidant systems. If you take
selenium, however, it binds to such toxic substances in the body and
removes their damaging powers. The mercury is absorbed by the selenium
and eliminated as waste.
One of the best qualities about selenium is that it reduces inflammation. And
inflammation is one of the first signs of disease. Selenium is a wonderful
natural therapy for people with autoimmune diseases and low immune
responses. Selenium directs glutathione to repair areas of DNA that are
damaged.
In this way, it reduces cancer growth and slows down aging. Glutathione is
known as the master antioxidant because it can regenerate in the liver – it is
a blend of three amino acids called cysteine, glycine and glutamine. High
glutathione levels mean good health, no disease and less aging.
Selenium is like cannabis oil – it can cause cell death in cancer cells and it
can decrease the spread of tumours in skin cancers such as melanoma.
Follow these tips to increase selenium in your diet, and decrease mercury
levels:
1. Eat wholesome, unprocessed foods rich in anti-inflammatory
properties
2. Eat 5-6 Brazil nuts daily
3. Eat only wild-caught fish to avoid mercury
4. Remove old fillings that could contain mercury
5. Eat more herbs like parsley to boost your natural detoxification systems
6. Eat super green foods to detox daily – as well as chlorella and/or
spirulina
7. Drink plenty of filtered water
8. Take a good cleansing supplement
9. Get in a sauna whenever you can.

Apricot Kernels
The apricot pip contains important substances that can fight cancer. This is
the kernel of the apricot and it is packed with amygdalin, a naturally
occurring chemical compound. Amygdalin is supposed to fight cancer,
prevent cancer and destroy tumours. It is also found in the seeds of apples,
plums, peaches and cherries.
There is one drawback about consuming too much amygdalin, however,
and that is cyanide poisoning. Because when you consume this chemical, it
is converted into hydrogen cyanide in the body. This can kill cancer cells but
also normal cells. Studies show that cyanide is harmful to the brain and heart
which use lots of oxygen as the cyanide stops cells in the body using oxygen
so they die. A person has to eat up to 60 apricot kernels before they are killed
by the cyanide. So, the reason why apricots fight cancer is that the cyanide
poisons the cancer cells. Cancer patients need to eat 5-10 apricot kernels a
day to affect the cancer.
But be aware to take only 20 micrograms per kilogram of body weight at
one time. Apricots as a fruit are also full of Vitamins A and C, potassium and
fibre, protein and pure oil. Oil pressed from the kernel can be used in cooking
– the kernels are used to make amaretto biscuits, almond finger biscuits and
apricot jams. Apricot kernels are also packed with Vitamin E and essential
fatty acids, important for immune health. The two main essential fatty acids
are linoleic acid (omega 6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega 3). These
essential fatty acids are vital for normal bone growth, metabolism
management, skin and hair growth and reproductive system support. Eating
a few apricot kernels here and there will assist your daily health regime by
boosting the immune system, reducing pain, and lowering high blood
pressure.

Conditions
 Acne
What is Acne?
Acne is a serious skin condition when the sebaceous glands produce oil,
stimulated by male hormones which are produced in the adrenal glands.
This happens to males and females when they reach puberty and the skin
becomes inflamed as spots and pimples break out. Acne occurs on the
face, shoulders, back, neck, chest and upper arms. It can also consist of
blackheads, cysts and nodules and can cause emotional discomfort and
maybe physical scarring.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Acne?
Cannabis oil is a natural anti-inflammatory and many skin disorders are linked
to inflammation in the body. It is also an antioxidant and anti-aging
substance which benefits the skin. Cannabis oil can heal dermatitis, acne,
psoriasis and eczema. Use the cannabis oil as a cream, balm or topical to
control the inflammation, remove the pain and allow the skin to heal.
Use a cannabis oil cream daily just as a moisturiser to ensure a healthy,
supple skin that never seems to age. Or take cannabis oil orally as it contains
all the right ingredients for essential health. Cannabinoids in the cannabis –
including cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) – have
natural healing properties that fight inflammation and pain, anxiety and
insomnia, depression and lack of energy. They interact with receptors in the
skin to work with the endocannabinoid system to ailments like acne. Get
enough sleep and good food and take care of your immune system.
CBD is a natural anti-inflammatory and can reduce the amount of oil in the
skin, therefore successfully treating acne. The CBD calms down the sebum,
produced by the skin’s sebaceous glands. It is interesting to note that if the
body produces too much anandamide the skin is very oily but if it produces
too little anandamide, the skin is dry and ages faster. Anandamide is a
neurotransmitter produced in the brain often called the bliss molecule. It is
an endocannabinoid that clings to cannabinoid receptors, mainly in the
brain.
Panacea suggested treatment plan:
The Aphrodite Night balm is the best product we have for acne. Apply as
needed to affected areas.

 ADHD
What is ADHD?
Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is a common complaint that
affects focus, self-control and other skills important in daily life. It is caused
by differences in the development of brain structure and wiring. It often runs
in families. Everyone has symptoms of ADHD at some time in their lives. But
when a child is diagnosed with ADHD, they are experiencing symptoms in a
more intense manner. This introduces challenges at school, at home and
with peers.
Children who have ADHD have too little dopamine in their brains. This
neurotransmitter regulates attention, memory and other important cognitive
actions in the brain.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit ADHD?
Cannabinoids like CBD interact with receptors in the brain to help manage
the dopamine. The child can therefore concentrate better and calm down
a lot. This is far better than a drug like Ritalin which has terrible side effects.
Anecdotal evidence is strong in the favour of cannabis oil to treat ADHD.
Research is revealing that cannabinoids positively affect the region of the
brain that is accountable for self-regulation of behaviour. This means the
cannabis oil can control the hyperactivity. CBD is a calming cannabinoid
which enhances sleep, appetite and stress-relief. These all contribute to
calming the hyperactivity impulses that ADHD sufferers experience.
Panacea suggested treatment guidelines:
5-15kg (1 drops twice daily)

 Autism
What is Autism?
The new name for Autism is Autism Spectrum Disorder because it is such a
complex disease. Doctors call it a neurobehavioral condition and they think
it starts in the early stages of life, or in early childhood. Autism is therefore a
form of ill-health that affects cognitive and physiological child development
and can last forever. It influences the way a child experiences everything
happening around him or her. Autism is about deficiencies in the way a child
socialises, speaks, writes and communicates. Some children develop
characteristic symptoms including stiff, monotonous behaviour, anti-social
performances and more. Many are highly intelligent and can become
expert at a particular hobby or form of creativity.
How can Cannabis Oil Benefit Autism?
Studies are revealing that cannabinoids in cannabis such as CBD and THC
do help to manage the social behaviour - and other dysfunctional
behaviours - of patients with autism. Parents acknowledge that medical
cannabis regulates moods, sleep patterns, seizures and reliance on
pharmaceutical drugs.
Cannabinoids are very powerful chemicals which can work with the body’s
endocannabinoid system to heal many conditions. Some researchers
believe that when the body does not produce enough endocannabinoids,
autism results. These healthy molecules are like the cannabinoids in
cannabis. Cannabis cannabinoids cling to certain receptors in the brain and
immune system and can help the brain to communicate again to these
receptors.
CBD is best for children as it is harmless, while tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is
psychoactive so not a good option for children. At least the CBD deals with
autism symptoms and assists the patient to have a better quality of life:
better sleep, better appetite, less lethargy and less anxiety.
5-15kg (1 drops twice daily)

 ALS
What is ALS?
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease which
seems to start in the legs and arms. It eventually causes difficulties in
swallowing, chewing and breathing. Sometimes patients start to lose
cognitive functioning when they can no longer communicate. This leads to
dementia or personality disorders.
ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease and is caused by the obliteration
of motor neurons. This leads to wasting or shrinking of muscles and loss of
muscle control. This is because motor neurons, nervous system cells, can no
longer send messages to the muscles to work.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit ALS?
Some studies show that medical cannabis has such a beneficial impact on
ALS that it can slow the disease down and increase the survival time for
patients. Using THC for ALS reveals decreased oxidative damage (damage
by free radicals to cells and tissues), as well as decreased excitotoxicity
(where neurons are so over-stimulated they damage cells and tissues).
If medical cannabis can slow down the development of ALS, it will lengthen
the life of the ALS sufferer. This will decrease the heavy psychological and
physical burden of the disease. Many ALS sufferers get depressed but
medical cannabis is a natural anti-depressant. ALS patients can also choose
to take medical cannabis alongside their other medication if they are unsure
of taking it as their only therapy.
Panacea THC/CBD tincture and the patient can take 5 drops twice daily
(morning and night).

 Anxiety
What is Anxiety?
This neurological condition is complex and presents itself in many different
forms. Some people have panic attacks, others develop phobias and still
more suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Anxiety begins from a
state of overwhelming worry. When the worry starts to affect daily life - the
patient cannot eat or sleep and develops extreme fatigue - medication is
needed.
Anxious people become tense and their posture becomes so bad that their
bodies suffer. Muscle tension increases around the neck, shoulders, hips and
legs. It is wise to do more exercise but be careful not to damage tendons or
muscles through over-use. Anxiety originates in the gut so many people
develop terrible digestive disorders which in turn disrupt their sleep, working
abilities and more. Anxiety can be revealed as panic attacks, stage fright,
perfectionism, obsessive-compulsive disorder and doubt of one’s abilities.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Anxiety?
Cannabidiol (CBD) can help fight inflammation caused by stress (the
underlying cause of many a disease) and relax body and mind. CBD-infused
medical grade cannabis is ideal for anxiety as it alleviates inflammation,
pain, spasms, sleep issues, eating issues and more. The patient feels much
calmer and in control. CBD is a cannabinoid which binds to specific
cannabinoid receptors, many of which occur in the brain - the centre of
emotional behaviour, including anxiety, moods, stress levels and ability to
sleep. Tests have shown that CBD relieves all levels of anxiety, from worry to
panic attacks and PTSD.
(morning and night)

 Arthritis
What is Arthritis?
Arthritis is not one disease but has more than 100 different strains. Anyone
can get arthritis which now affects more than 50 million adults and 300 000
children globally. People of all ages, sexes and races can and do have
arthritis, which is also most common among women and occurs more
frequently as people get older.
Common arthritis joint symptoms include swelling, pain, stiffness and
decreased range of motion. Symptoms may come and go. They can be
mild, moderate or severe. Severe arthritis can result in chronic pain, inability
to do daily activities and make it difficult to walk or climb stairs. Arthritis can
cause permanent joint changes. These changes may be visible, such as
knobby finger joints, but often the damage can only be seen on X-ray. Some
types of arthritis also affect the heart, eyes, lungs, kidneys and skin as well as
the joints.
The most common types of arthritis are rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis involves wear-and-tear damage to the cartilage in the joint —
the hard, slick coating found at the ends of bones. If there is enough
damage, bone will grind directly on bone, causing pain and restricted
movement.
In rheumatoid arthritis, the body’s immune system attacks the lining of the
joint capsule, a rough membrane that encloses all the joint parts. This lining
becomes swollen and inflamed. The disease process can ultimately destroy
cartilage and the bone within the joint.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Arthritis?
Studies have found that patients with arthritis have more CB2 receptors in
their injured joints than healthy people. The CBD interacts with these
receptors to cure the pain and even repair the damage to the joints. Using
topical creams regularly, saturating the painful area, will allow better
mobility of the joint. CBD is a natural anti-inflammatory and brings immediate
pain relief. If the skin and joints are painful or showing signs of aging or
inflammation, CBD is the best therapy. Simply rub in a CBD cream and feel
the effects in days.
Panacea Ultra Pain Balm, apply as needed for relief.

 Asthma
What is Asthma?
Asthma can be a simple condition or a chronic issue. Airways become
thinner, get blocked and produce extra mucous. Breathing is difficult which
then stimulates fits of coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. Asthma
attacks can be life-threatening. Asthma is a dynamic disease and can be
controlled with the right medication.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Asthma?
During an asthma attack, the little airways in the lungs tighten, causing
shortness of breath and an excruciating constriction in the chest. The THC in
medicinal cannabis is a powerful bronchodilator which helps to relax and
open these airways, allowing more oxygen to flow freely through them.
Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, cannabis oil can be an effective
treatment for asthma.
(morning and night)

 Crohn’s Disease
What is Crohn’s Disease?
Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It causes
inflammation of the digestive tract, which can lead to abdominal pain,
severe diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss and malnutrition. Different people get
inflammation caused by Crohn's disease in different areas of the digestive
tract. This often spreads deep into the layers of affected bowel tissue making
the disease both painful and debilitating. It can lead to life-threatening
complications. There is no known cure for Crohn’s disease, but it can be
managed with relevant therapies.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Crohn’s Disease?
Through cannabis research, scientists are learning how cannabinoids may
be a less damaging way to treat Crohn’s disease. The endocannabinoid
system has two primary receptors, CB1 and CB2. CB2 receptors are found in
the immune system and the hematopoietic system which includes bone
marrow, lymph nodes, the spleen, and thymus. They regulate the
inflammatory process by controlling the release of cytokines produced by
the immune cells, which is integral to Crohn’s disease. Activating these
receptors results in pain relief and anti-inflammatory effects.
(morning and night)

 Dementia
What is Dementia?
Dementia is not on particular disease. This term refers to a set of symptoms
associated with deterioration in memory or cognitive skills, to the extent that
the patient battles to complete normal daily activities. Most dementia cases
(60-80%) are Alzheimer’s disease while Vascular dementia, which occurs
after a stroke, is the second most common dementia type. But there are
many other conditions that can cause symptoms of dementia. Some are
reversible, such as thyroid problems and vitamin deficiencies.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Dementia?
Some studies have that found taking cannabis could help to manage some
behavioural symptoms of dementia such as that agitation or aggression.
While there is currently no scientific evidence that cannabis can help to
prevent the disease, anecdotal evidence is mounting that it does enhance
quality of life for each patient.
Scientists have meanwhile shown interest in the role of the endocannabinoid
system to help treat Alzheimer's disease. Some studies have shown that THC
could remove amyloid clumps (hallmarks of Alzheimer’s) from nerve cells
grown in a lab. Other researchers believe that using CBD to target CB2
receptors could manage microglia activity, ending the potentially harmful
overactivation of the immune system in the brain.
(morning and night)

 Depression
What is Depression?
Depression is a huge word for a condition that ranges from mildly sad to
clinically depressed. Real physiological symptoms show that the brain too is
under stress. When someone gets really depressed, he/she shows signs of
extraordinary tiredness, loss of interest in things he/she usually loves, irritability,
headaches, stomach discomfort, lack of self-esteem, strange muscle or
body pains and even self harming. Help is required to ease these symptoms.
Depression could also be a result of extreme stress. When someone is
stressed, their body changes in terms of a weakened immune system and is
liable to infections and diseases because of being malnourished.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Depression?
Cannabis oil can ease depression by enhancing sleep, appetite and moods
and to decrease muscle and bodily pain. Cannabis oil is a natural anti-
inflammatory and can fight pain – this will heal the brain and body.
Depression may require a good dose of endocannabinoids – compounds
similar to those found in cannabis. These elements have an important role to
play as they balance moods, appetite and immune system and make sure
people get enough sleep. So, when depressed, try to increase
endocannabinoid function to improve mood and reduce stress levels. One
way to do this is to use the cannabinoids in cannabis.
Studies show that CBD interacts with serotonin levels in your body. When
seratonin levels are depleted due to environmental or chemical factors,
mental health takes a huge knock. Cannabinoids can set the balance right
again by clinging to receptors in the brain and acting like seratonin. CBD
can also relieve issues of insomnia, lack of appetite and self-esteem – all
factors that contribute to depression. THC can stimulate the CB1 receptor in
the brain and nervous system which can have the same effect as taking
anti-depressants. Mix your THC with CBD and you won’t feel high, so this is a
safer option that guarantees a better mental state. Taking CBD-infused
cannabis oil stimulates the hippocampus region of the brain where memory
and mental abilities originate. Doctors are agreeing that CBD is a natural
anti-depressant that can bring back a normal balance to our
endocannabinoid systems – when you get depressed, the
endocannabinoid system is out of kilter and dis-ease results.
(morning and night)

 Diabetes
What is Diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes used to be called juvenile-onset or insulin-dependent
diabetes - 5 to 10 out of 100 people have this diabetes. The body attacks its
own cells that produce insulin, which ultimately eradicates the insulin in the
body. Now the cells can no longer absorb sugar or glucose which they need
to make energy. Children tend to show symptoms and get very sick from
sudden high blood sugar. They can also get very low blood sugar and this
diabetes cannot be prevented.
During Type 2 diabetes (once called adult-onset or non-insulin-dependent
diabetes), adults usually get symptoms of the body not being able to use
insulin the way it should. This insulin resistance can worsen until the pancreas
makes less and less insulin and there is then an insulin deficiency. The patient
does not get low blood sugar, but this disease can be reversed and
prevented. Stick to a healthy lifestyle and balanced diet - exercise and fresh
healthy foods are the answer.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Diabetes?
Cannabinoids help manage blood sugars and to maintain a healthy weight.
These chemical compounds speed up the metabolism. In recent studies,
people who took cannabis oil were less resistant to the insulin produced by
their body and could maintain balanced blood sugars. They could
metabolise carbohydrates better and were slimmer. CBD is a natural anti-
inflammatory therefore ideal for people with diabetes 2. It can also
successfully treat eye issues such as glaucoma, insomnia and pain – all linked
to diabetes. Always check blood glucose levels to avoid hypoglycaemia.

 Epilepsy
What is Epilepsy?
Epilepsy is a neurological condition resulting in seizures which can recur on a
frequent basis. Epilepsy can affect people in varying degrees of severity, but
some patients suffer from uncontrollable seizures. Epilepsy is a condition that
can cause life-long suffering, seriously affecting one’s ability to lead a normal
life. But with the correct treatment, there is hope. The seizures are caused by
some kind of unrestrained electrical activity in the brain which then results in
convulsions, troubled thoughts and disorientation. Epilepsy is thought to be
a genetic disorder but can also be caused by trauma, head injury or tumours
of the brain. Many seizures are idiopathic which means no one knows why
they happen and many children are diagnosed with epilepsy every year.
This interrupts their lives and they are unable to live fulfilled childhoods - they
must take chronic medication which then has negative impacts on their
health.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Epilepsy?
Cannabinoids like cannabidiol (CBD) have a positive effect on epilepsy:
 The CBD overwhelms the activity of glutamate which cause neurons
to become agitated
 CBD is a known anti-inflammatory so reduces the inflammation in the
brain associated with seizures
 CBD helps increase endocannabinoid levels which helps the body to
have optimum immunity and a healthy balance
 CBD copies the way endocannabinoids by controlling the flow of
good ions such as calcium and potassium and so reducing the agitation of
neurons
CBD-infused cannabis oil can be used to treat epilepsy as it also assists with
insomnia, stress, anxiety, depression and moods. People who have epilepsy
feel calmer, with better motor skills and improved social interaction – as well
as fewer seizures! Cannabis oil contains anticonvulsant properties and is a
natural muscle relaxant.

 Fibromyalgia
What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia can affect people of all ages, including children. The patient
suffers varying degrees of pain all over their bodies, which comes and goes.
The pain can be acute or tender. Fibromyalgia has negative impacts on
physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. The word literally means
‘pain in the muscles, ligaments and tendons’. This all-encompassing disease
affects people in different ways and symptoms vary. Patients get very tired,
battle to sleep, battle to think clearly or forget things and feel stiff in their
muscles and bones. Often there is depression, anxiety, migraines, pain in the
pelvis, irritability, an overactive bladder, irritable bowel syndrome and
gastrointestinal reflux disease. Stress also dominates this disease.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Fibromyalgia?
Medical cannabis, cannabis oil, can relieve many of the symptoms related
to fibromyalgia including pain, insomnia, fatigue, restless leg syndrome,
depression and anxiety. Treating fibromyalgia with cannabis oil means far
fewer side effects than pharmaceuticals which can also cause addiction
and more pain. Cannabis is a natural pain killer which binds to the
cannabinoid receptors found throughout the nervous system and brain.
Treat this disease with a blend of THC and CBD for best results. Some patients
can then wean themselves off their chronic medication.

 Glaucoma
What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a common eye condition that often causes optical nerve
damage, and when left untreated, can lead to blindness. More than 60
million people live with glaucoma globally and the disease can cause
irreversible blindness. New evidence is showing that glaucoma is a
neurodegenerative condition that could be linked to other
neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease. Some research is
revealing that glaucoma seems to be appears to be a strong forecaster of
Alzheimer’s Disease.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Glaucoma?
Optimal health depends on the body’s internal endocannabinoid system
(ECS) which regulates every aspect of wellbeing: inflammation, pain
regulation, neuroprotection, immune response, moods, fertility, appetite
and energy levels. Cannabinoids can play a vital role in assisting the body
with inflammation and neuroprotection, including treating glaucoma. There
are cannabinoid receptors in the ocular tissues which manage intraocular
pressure. Cannabis oils could target these tissues and help to decrease
intraocular pressure and protect the retinal cells. CBD is the ideal therapy for
the eyes.
(morning and night)

 Heart Disease
What is Heart Disease?
Heart disease is a complex condition with many variations. It can involve the
heart itself, of the blood vessels feeding the heart. Heart disease can occur
due to an unhealthy lifestyle, genetics or environmental conditions.
Congenital heart defect is a hereditary heart disease which people are born
with and which has to be managed. Cardiovascular disease affects the
heart and arteries and can be prevented and managed. Artherosclerosis is
caused by an unhealthy lifestyle, lack of exercise, too many toxins and poor
diet. Plaque builds up in the walls of arteries and blocks the flow of blood in
and out the heart. Heart attacks occur when these arteries are completely
blocked and the heart cannot operate.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Heart Disease?
Studies have discovered that CBD is a powerful vasorelaxant because it
reduces tension in the artery walls, or reduces pressure in the blood vessels.
CBD can benefit the cardiovascular system thanks to its direct benefits to
the arteries, enabling them to relax. CBD is a natural anti-inflammatory and
antioxidant which benefits the heart and arteries. CBD also has a positive
impact on the survival and death of white blood cells, the migration of white
blood cells and the accumulation of platelets.

 HIV/AIDS
What is HIV/AIDS?
HIV is a virus (human immunodeficiency virus) that attacks the immune
system which is the body’s baseline of health and defence against disease.
The virus kills the T-helper cells (white blood cells in the immune system, also
called CD4 cells) making copies of itself inside these cells. The virus then kills
the cells and gradually kills the immune system as it makes more copies of
itself. So as the immune system dissolves and so does the person’s health and
they cannot fight off any infections or diseases. It can take a few years to up
to 15 years for the immune system to totally break down, also dependent on
age, health and social context. Eventually that person has AIDS, which is the
last phase of HIV and will lead to death. Cannabis oil can slow down this
process of immune system destruction and assist the patient with the side
effects of the disease.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit HIV/AIDS?
Cannabis oil is a panacea for many conditions including nausea, vomiting,
pain, depression and anxiety. These are all very real symptoms of HIV.
Cannabis contains cannabinoids such as cannabidiol (CBD) and
tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which interact with the human
endocannabinoid system to ensure the innate balance of moods,
hormones, metabolism and sleep patterns. HIV is all about the eventual
break down of the immune system so cannabis oil can help. It can also
relieve inflammation, neural pain and general pain associated with
peripheral neuropathy – pain caused by HIV when nerves in the peripheral
nervous system are harmed and twitch, or there is loss of muscle and
coordination. CBD will also take the edge off pain killers or other drugs
prescribed to treat HIV, yet which have terrible side effects.
(morning and night)

 Inflammation
What is Inflammation?
Inflammation is the root of most diseases and is also related to autoimmune
diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or type 1 diabetes. Inflammation is a
negative force in the body which creates an immune imbalance. The
immune system could start to attack its own tissues if action is not taken
immediately. Inflammation also means that the body is trying to heal
something, so it can also be a healthy response. It signifies the beginning of
a healing process, in a bid to protect the body. Inflammation also is the
body’s way of defending itself against viruses and bacteria, and to repair
damaged tissues.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Inflammation?
Cannabis oil is a natural anti-inflammatory. CBD is the ideal therapy for
inflammation as it is natural, alternative and has no side effects. CBD offers
innate anti-inflammatory compounds and immunosuppressive qualities
making it a perfect natural medication for diseases like arthritis, multiple
sclerosis, sore muscles and even cancer. CBD can therefore treat conditions
of the central nervous system, brain and immune system. Used in
combination with THC, CBD mitigates the psychoactive powers of the THC
and the two chemical compounds can treat chronic dis-ease.

 Lupus
What is Lupus?
Lupus is a serious inflammatory disease caused by an overactive immune
system. When the immune system attacks the organs and tissues of the body,
the joints, kidneys, skin, heart, lungs, blood cells and brain become inflamed.
Lupus patients are in constant pain and end up taking a pile of pills every
day. Research is ongoing regarding which is the best CBD for Lupus. The
causes of Lupus include:
 Sunlight - exposure to sunlight may bring on lupus skin lesions or could
trigger an internal response in vulnerable people
 Infections - can bring on lupus or cause a relapse in certain people
 Medications - lupus can be activated by some types of anti-seizure
medications, antibiotics and blood pressure medications.
Symptoms include joint pain, swelling and stiffness; fatigue and fever;
shortness of breath; chest pain; butterfly-shaped rash on the face that covers
the cheeks and bridge of the nose; headaches, confusion and memory loss;
skin lesions that appear or worsen with sun exposure; dry eyes; fingers and
toes turn white or blue when they are exposed to cold or during stressful
periods.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Lupus?
Cannabis oil treats inflammation and pain which makes it the perfect
medicine for lupus. It is safe, natural and effective. The trick is to take high
dosages of cannabidiol (CBD) orally every day. The best way to manage
lupus is firstly through a healthy lifestyle – get enough sleep, eat a balanced
diet and do plenty of exercise. Secondly, take cannabis oil to manage the
inflammation and pain and you will find relief. Cannabinoids seem to
increase one of the anti-inflammatory proteins and reduce a pro-
inflammatory protein. They work with the body’s endocannabinoid system
to maintain a healthy balance in the immune system – lowering
inflammation and relieving lupus right away. Receptors in the human brain
react to cannabis in similar ways that they react to pharmaceuticals. But,
unlike conventional drugs, cannabis is a natural medicine without side
effects. Scientists have found that cannabinoids help to balance many
biological systems in the body and brain. Taking the best CBD for Lupus will
also ensure less stress, better sleep and a sense of calmness to those whose
bodies are at war with themselves.
(morning and night)

 Menopause
What is Menopause?
Every woman experiences menopause, in their midlife. Menopause typically
starts around age 50 but many women experience early menopause, due
to environmental and physiological factors. This is a very individual time in a
woman’s life and many women go through enormous emotional and
physical changes which can change them forever. These include mood
swings, hot flushes, changes in weight, metabolism, energy levels and
physical body features. The hormonal changes can induce depression, so
each woman needs to get help in her own way.
With menopause comes changes in oestrogen production and
endocannabinoid production. When oestrogen levels go down, so do levels
of the fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) which is how the body modulates
anandamide levels. This is one of the bliss molecules that keeps women sane.
Anandamide is responsible for pain, appetite and fertility and menopause
changes this.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Menopause?
While there is no one cure for menopause, there are things a woman can
do to relieve symptoms and experience a better quality of life. Cannabis oil
is a natural choice of therapy which can also reduce the dangers of breast
cancer. CBD interacts with cannabinoid receptors in the body to reduce the
impact of menopause and its symptoms. At least, taking CBD is calming and
reduces stress, anxiety and depression. It also helps to manage appetite,
insomnia and inflammation.
(morning and night)

 Migraines
What are Migraines?
A migraine is a severe headache that can cause severe throbbing pain or
a pulsing sensation, usually on just one side of the head. It's often
accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and
sound. Migraine attacks can cause significant pain for only hours or a few
days and can be so severe that the pain is disabling. Warning symptoms
such as aura may occur before or with the headache. These can include
flashes of light, blind spots, or tingling on one side of the face or in your arm
or leg.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Migraines?
Take CBD to reduce this process happening in your body and to reduce the
pain of the migraine as CBD immediately treats the inflammation. THC-
infused cannabis oil is a great treatment for what is known as excitotoxicity.
This is caused by an accumulation of glutamate, a neurotransmitter that
helps us to think. Glutamate is toxic when there is too much of it and you
then get a migraine. CBD and THC can both treat migraines by increasing
the level of serotonin in your brain. Serotonin is called the happy chemical
and also helps combat depression. Cannabis oils rich in CBD and THC also
block receptors that control nausea and vomiting, other migraine-
associated symptoms. Patients who take conventional anti-inflammatories
are doing untold damage to their livers and kidneys. But with cannabis oil
there are no side effects, only effective relief.
(morning and night)

 Multiple Sclerosis
What is Multiple Sclerosis?
This disease can be disabling when the brain and spinal cord /central
nervous system are affected. The body’s immune system attacks the myelin
(protective sheath) covering the nerve fibres. This means that
communication between the brain and body is affected and, over time, the
nerves start to weaken or become damaged forever. Multiple Sclerosis
affects people in varying degrees, which depends on how much nerve
damage there is. Some people are affected so badly that they can no
longer walk, while others show no new symptoms and enter what doctors
call ‘remission’. It is sad that there is no cure for MS, but modern treatments
do speed up recovery from attacks. These can adjust the progress of the
disease, managing its symptoms and allowing patients to be in remission.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Multiple Sclerosis?
Cannabis oil is a calming therapy, naturally, and has no negative side
effects. Cannabinoids, or chemical compounds, go straight to the root of
MS symptoms, working with the body’s endocannabinoid system to heal the
immune system and central nervous system. Cannabis oil gives relief to
patients who are in pain and suffer muscle spasticity and stiffness.
Cannabinoids like cannabidiol (CBD) are calming and great treatments for
anxiety, stress and spasticity. Having Multiple Sclerosis is exhausting and at
least the CBD can tackle this symptom. It is very tiring having muscle
spasticity, stiffness and arms and legs that rarely are still. This means very little
sleep at night too and the pain is draining. But cannabis oil can relieve these
symptoms associated with Multiple Sclerosis.
(morning and night)

 Osteoporosis
What is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis means ‘porous bones’ which for patients means weak bones.
When bones lose mass, they fracture easily and become deformed, so
changing the shape of the body. Many people associate osteoporosis with
hunchback people, but it can invisible to the eye. The first stage of bone loss
is osteopenia which can evolve into osteoporosis. Bone density measures
bone health. Peak bone mass is reached by the age of 30, after which
bones lose density. As people age, their bodies reabsorb calcium and other
minerals from the bones. This weakens them and can lead to osteopenia
and osteoporosis. Every time we injure or fracture our bones, we make them
weaker and more susceptible to osteoporosis.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Osteoporosis?
The skeleton contains CB1, CB2, TRPV1 and GPR55 receptors which are part
of the endocannabinoid system. CB1 receptors are found on nerve fibres
covering bone as well as cells in the bone marrow, as well as on osteoblasts
(cells that make bone), osteoclasts (a type of bone cell that breaks down
bone tissue) and bone marrow derived adipocytes (connective tissue cells
that store fat). Osteoclasts, osteoblasts and osteocytes also express CB2
receptors at significantly higher levels than those reported for CB1. Cannabis
oil can activate the CB1 receptor and help treat osteoporosis. Studies found
that the CB1 receptor protects the body against bone loss associated with
aging by modulating adipocyte and osteoblast variation of bone marrow
stromal cells.
(morning and night)

 Pain
What is Pain?
Pain is an unpleasant sensation that can range from mild, localized
discomfort to agony. Pain can affect people physically and emotionally.
When nerves are stimulated, people feel physical pain but when emotions
are stimulated, people feel emotional pain. Pain can be caused by injury,
abuse or diseases which really invade the body such as cancer or
fibromyalgia. Depression causes another kind of pain that is felt in the heart.
Pain is also related to inflammation and if inflammation is healed, pain is
reduced.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Pain?
Cannabinoids in cannabis oil known as cannabidiol (CBD) and
tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) can fight inflammation by affecting the way
the body deals with pain. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a big
network of cell receptors which influences the way the body deals with pain,
inflammation, mood, appetite and sleep. Consuming cannabis oil changes
the way the body regulates all of these things – CBD increases the number
of endocannabinoids in the body and is able to help regulate the immune
system. Deal with chronic pain the natural way when you allow CBD to calm
inflammation and change pain signals in the brain. A safe, non-
psychoactive cannabinoid, this compound is a natural medicine that you
can use for your arthritis. Use cannabis cream too as a natural therapy
instead of heavy over-the-counter pain killers.
Panacea THC/CBD tincture and the patient can take 10 drops as needed
for relief. If the pain is more severe then a capsule or the balm can be
suggested.

 Parkinson’s Disease
What is Parkinson’s Disease?
People with Parkinson’s Disease have symptoms related to the lack of
dopamine in their brains. These include shaking limbs, stiff muscles and
muscle contractions, difficulty in moving, coordination and balancing. Later
on, patients battle to speak, and their cognitive system weakens, leading
ultimately to memory loss and dementia.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Parkinson’s Disease?
Research has found that people with a healthy endocannabinoid system
can better fight stress, post-traumatic stress disorder, fear, pain and anxiety.
Taking cannabis oil enhances the strength of the ECS and assists the body to
maintain its innate immune balance. Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of many
cannabinoids in the cannabis plant that interact with the ECS to maintain
inner brain and body health. Doctors are finding that Parkinson’s patients
who take CBD experience reduced shaking, less anxiety and better sleep
patterns. CBD can protect the brain as it is an antioxidant that can slow
down the progression of Parkinson’s. Cannabis oil therefore has huge
potential to treat Parkinson’s Disease. CBD can assist the brain to detoxify
therefore protecting it from damage and slowing down neural damage.
(morning and night)

 Pets
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Pets?
Cannabidiol (CBD) can treat sick dogs as this cannabinoid has no side
effects. These days, pet lovers can treat their dogs with cannabis oil edibles
containing CBD or hemp oil which are considered safe. If the dog overdoses
on cannabis or eats raw cannabis by mistake, the side effects can be
horrible. The dog will lose his balance, feel very tired, feel panicky or anxious,
hate loud noises and battle to breathe.
Dogs also have an endocannabinoid system, just like humans, which
maintains an innate balance of immunity and health. The cannabis oil
interacts with the endocannabinoid system and offers relief from pain,
digestion issues, seizures and anxiety. Using CBD-infused cannabis oil is safe
and a great option besides conventional pet medications. Be careful of the
size of the dose so understand how much cannabis oil is required to treat a
sick dog. Make sure it is only CBD based, it is organic (so free from pesticides
and fungicides), it is in tincture form and it is good quality.

 Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
What is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?
This condition is about extreme anxiety that results after a traumatic incident.
This can be anything from childhood abuse, car accidents, loss of a loved
one to war, abandonment, assault or robbery. Patients with PTSD get
flashbacks, nightmares, insomnia and battle to fit into social situations.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit PTSD?
Studies found that people with PTSD had lower levels of anandamide in their
brains (a cannabinoid found naturally in the body). Anandamide and THC
both stimulate the same receptors in the brain which promote healing.
Anandamide is an endocannabinoid that clings to cannabinoid receptors
and THC has a similar effect. So, post-traumatic stress disorder is a lack of
endocannabinoids which can be balanced if cannabis oil is introduced as
a medication. Try cannabis oil for PTSD and it will immediately deal with the
anxiety symptoms. CBD-enriched cannabis oil slows down the rush of
thoughts, the panic and allows the patient to think through the trauma
without succumbing to its agony. Sleep patterns will improve which straight
away deals with anxiety.
(morning and night)

 Schizophrenia
What is Schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia is a mental illness – or psychotic disorder – when a person
experiences severe misrepresentation about daily life which forces them to
get an incorrect idea about their living context. They often hear voices and
see things and are very paranoid about certain people or issues. They can
get very depressed and battle to stick to hobbies or work or social groups.
They lack motivation and concentration. When they take conventional
medicines, they often experience terrible side-effects. People with
Schizophrenia need help – not only from drugs, but also from loved ones who
need to be patient and to draw them into their lives gently.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia sufferers reported feeling less psychotic and calmer when
they took cannabis oil (CBD). While the disease does not simply disappear,
its effects are reduced. The consumption of CBD helps with the
endocannabinoid system (ECS) as it contributes to that system where the
body is trying to constantly maintain a healthy balance as it produces its
own cannabis-like chemicals. It does this to balance emotions, moods, sleep
patterns and keep the immune system strong. Some research has shown that
when some patients took CBD, it assisted them to remember things and they
were able to function normally in a social context. Scientists say that
Schizophrenia has links to a chemical disparity in the brain related to
neurotransmitters.
CBD is therefore an attractive option for those with Schizophrenia as it is a
non-invasive way to control this mental illness and has no side effects. CBD
is the perfect cannabinoid for people with mental issues as it is anti-psychotic
and can calm the mind down. A CBD enriched cannabis oil will relieve
psychosis as it interacts with receptors in the brain which manage moods,
emotions and the ongoing healthy balance of the immune system. When
CBD is taken daily in large doses it allows Schizophrenic patients to come out
of their shells again and be social. CBD can improve memory and help
mental illness patients to recognise objects and people. CBD can also
relieve the hallucinations experienced by Schizophrenia sufferers. The body’s
endocannabinoid system regulates the immune system and psychotic
behaviour arises if there is too much change.

 Skin
What is Skin?
Caring for the skin, our largest organ, is vital for essential health as the skin is
the first barrier against toxins that can enter the body. Many people have
skin disorders such as acne, eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis. Many of these
skin issues are caused by stress. Adults who get skin disorders are usually those
people who are not looking after their health and have developed high
blood pressure, heart issues and the potential to have strokes. Overuse of
cigarettes and alcohol can also cause psoriasis and other diseases. The skin
protects the body from the sun’s rays – specifically ultraviolet light – which
can damage cells. Everyone needs Vitamin D and only a healthy skin can
produce Vitamin D when exposed to the sun. Take proper care of the skin,
enjoy a daily skin care regime and ensure no infections set in. When skin gets
dry and cracked, germs can get in, causing infection or other issues.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit the Skin?
Many skin disorders are linked to inflammation in the body. Cannabis oil is a
natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. It is also an anti-aging substance
which will benefit the skin throughout its life. Hemp seed oil contains plenty
of omega 3 and 6 to moisturise the skin and protect it from the sun. These
essential fatty acids are vital in the right balance for both the skin and
internal physical health.
Taking cannabis oil orally or as a topical will work for skin health as it contains
all the right ingredients for essential health. Cannabinoids in the cannabis –
including cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) – have
natural healing properties that fight inflammation and pain, anxiety and
insomnia, depression and lack of energy. All these things relate to a healthy
skin. Studies have shown how cannabis oil can heal dermatitis, acne,
psoriasis and eczema. Using your cannabis oil as a cream or balm or topical
(all the same thing) controls the inflammation associated with these skin
conditions, removes the pain and allows the skin to heal.
Aphrodite nigh balm has amazing regenerative properties for skin.

 Sleep
What is Sleep?
Everyone needs to sleep, every day. Sleep is that time when we relax
completely, allowing our bodies and minds to rejuvenate. Without sleep, we
cannot function. Sleep is natural and involves a reduction in consciousness,
in energy levels, physical activity, emotional and sensory activity and
interactions with others or the environment. When people do not sleep, they
are vulnerable to disease. Those who suffer sleep disorders or lack of sleep
will experience health problems and emotional issues.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Sleep?
Cannabis oil will help to solve restless sleeping patterns, treating insomnia
and stress or anxiety. Insomnia can affect well-being and holistic health,
leading to numerous secondary conditions. Take cannabis oil for a peaceful
night’s sleep and wake up feeling well rested and relaxed. A cannabis oil
infused with CBD can enhance the endocannabinoids that occur naturally
in the body’s endocannabinoid system, helping the body to maintain a
system of homeostasis, or natural immune balance. Taking cannabis oil daily
is good for your health as it will contribute to this action and the CBD will cling
to the cannabinoid receptors where needed.
Panacea THC/CBD tincture and the patient can take 10 drops 40mins before
bed.

 Stress
What is Stress?
Stress is a natural human phenomenon that used to save people from
danger. The fight or flight syndrome was real and allowed people to use their
gut feelings to escape or face danger. In the modern world, stress has
become something that permeates our days, our lives. People work all the
time and find no time to play. This imbalance in life results in stress which is
an overload of work and demands of daily living. These include relationships
on all levels, work issues, financial issues, family problems and now, climate
change and environmental conditions that threaten the way we live and
are forcing us to change.
Stress has a positive side and can motivate as it is essential for human survival.
But when the fight or fight mechanism is triggered too much, for the wrong
reasons, it can cause mental and physical harm.
How Can Cannabis Oil Benefit Stress?
Cannabis oil treats the causes and symptoms of stress. It can help to release
feel-good hormones and relax the mind. It reduces anxiety and promotes
tranquillity. Studies done in Israel show that when cannabis oil is given to
patients after an emotional trauma, the stress is less and the risk of long term
stress disorders is reduced. Cannabinoids diminished the stress receptors in
parts of the brain where sensory information and emotions are managed.
Cannabis oil can ease insomnia and lack of appetite, as well as curb
depression. Cannabinoids can modulate the release of neurotransmitters
and can create higher levels of pleasure and changes in memory functions.
