Cannabis: modern holistic medicine
This book wants to introduce you to the cannabis plant. It covers, among other things, diseases where cannabis medicine can help: depression, pain, irritable bowel syndrome, migraine, multiple sclerosis, cancer, and dementia. The extensive work offers information, insights, and instructions for naturopaths, doctors, pharmacists, herbalists, naturopathy practitioners, phyto- and psychotherapists, and interested beginners.
Cannabis has existed on our planet for tens of thousands of years and has been demonstrably used for health care and healing purposes for at least 6000 years. In China, India, Egypt, and the USA, cannabis medicine was traditionally used for pain relief, treatment of inflammation, mental disorders, epilepsy, and as a sedative.
The most astonishing aspect of the cannabis plant is our special relationship to it: There is a cannabinoid system in the plant and a matching cannabinoid system in the human body (called the endocannabinoid system = ECS). The more we learn about the functioning of both systems, the more options for natural healing reveal themselves. The ECS determines the fundamental vibration, the balance of human well-being. Functionally, it resembles the immune system.
Science confirms the experiences of herbal medicine regarding holistic cannabis therapy: whole plant extracts are highly effective. Many people have benefited from cannabis medicine – in addition to medications or when conventional medicine had given up.
Humans have lived from the beginning in a deeply rooted relationship with the plant world. Tammi Sweet advocates for the conscious renewal of this relationship. She uses Western and indigenous knowledge and wants to ally with all those who also try to bring both worlds together. For the benefit of collective knowledge that can alleviate and heal suffering.
The author hopes that this book will help rediscover the extraordinary properties of cannabis – with respect, deeper understanding, and mindfulness. Her credo is: "Back to the plants." A path that can heal the alienation from our culture and origins, overcome the shackles of dogmas and paradigms. Especially today. Especially now.
Look forward to a research journey of a special kind!
