Medical cannabis has been used to treat seizures for quite some time, and it is becoming increasingly popular as a treatment option for those suffering from epilepsy and other seizure disorders. Emerging research has shown that cannabis can help reduce the frequency and severity of seizures, as well as improve overall quality of life. A higher ratio of CBD:THC is typically recommended, such as 20:1, for treatment of seizures.
Cannabis works by interacting with the body's endocannabinoid system, which is responsible for regulating a variety of functions, including mood, pain, and appetite. When cannabis is consumed, it binds to the endocannabinoid receptors and helps with regulation and inflammation, which can help reduce the frequency and severity of seizures.
Cannabis can also help reduce anxiety, depression, and pain, all of which can be contributing factors in seizure activity. Studies have shown that cannabis can help improve mood, reduce stress, and improve sleep quality.
If you or someone you know is suffering from seizures, it may be worth considering cannabis as a treatment option. Schedule a free consult today today with Dr. Allamon.
