The Healing Potential of Cannabis: Evidence-Based Health Benefits and How Encompass Can Guide Your Journey
Updated: Jun 4
The use of cannabis in medical treatments has gained significant momentum over the past few years, thanks to extensive research and emerging evidence supporting its therapeutic benefits.
At Encompass, we recognize the potential of medical cannabis to contribute to holistic health and offer dedicated Cannabis Care Consults in Colorado and Connecticut, with plans to expand to more states soon.
Evidence-Based Benefits of Medical Cannabis
Chronic Pain Relief: One of the most recognized uses of medical cannabis is pain management. Studies have consistently shown that cannabis can significantly reduce chronic pain. A comprehensive review published in the Journal of Pain found that cannabis-based treatments were effective in reducing pain and improving quality of life for people with chronic pain conditions.
Neurological and Mental Health Disorders: Cannabis has shown promise in treating a variety of neurological and mental health disorders, including multiple sclerosis (MS) and epilepsy. According to the American Academy of Neurology, cannabis-based products can reduce muscle spasticity and frequent urination in MS patients. Additionally, the FDA has approved drugs containing cannabidiol (CBD) for the treatment of certain types of epilepsy.
Anxiety and Depression: While research is still evolving, some studies suggest that cannabis can help alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression in some individuals. A study in the Journal of Affective Disorders found that short-term use of cannabis can significantly reduce feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress.
Cancer-Related Symptoms: Cannabis is often used to alleviate cancer-related symptoms and the side effects of cancer treatment, such as nausea and loss of appetite. Research published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology indicates that cannabis might help improve appetite, weight, and overall comfort in cancer patients.
Sleep Disorders: Cannabis has also been used to treat sleep disorders, including insomnia. Research suggests that cannabis might help improve sleep quality, decrease sleep disturbances, and reduce the time it takes to fall asleep.
