An estimated 8 to 11 percent of the population are affected by spinal stenosis, and it’s most common in baby boomers over 50. Spinal stenosis is a condition that stems from the irregular narrowing of a person’s spine, putting a sense of pressure on the nerves located in the back.

Spinal stenosis is characterized by aggravated pain and inflammation that can lead to numbness and muscle weakness. There are two primary forms of spinal stenosis that exist. Cervical stenosis primarily occurs in the part of the spine in a person’s neck, whereas lumbar stenosis occurs in the portion of the spine near one’s lower back.

Treatment for this condition includes physical therapy, corrective surgery and prescribed medications. Medications used to treat spinal stenosis include Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Gabapentin and Pregabalin. Each prescribed medication contains negative side effects that include abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, blurred vision, bruising, skin rash, ringing in the ears, memory loss, viral infections, tremors and weight gain.

CBD may help alleviate the symptoms of spinal stenosis like pain, inflammation, spasms and anxiety without the negative side effects of prescribed medication. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a bodily system comprised of endocannabinoids, or neurotransmitters, that are responsible for sending signals to other systems in the body.

When a person experiences a condition that induces chronic states of pain, such as spinal stenosis, the receptor expression in the ECS is altered. The best way to counteract the discomfort and inflammation provoked by spinal stenosis is to influence the levels of endocannabinoids present in one’s ECS.

Our AHS 1500mg tincture can be taken sublingually along with our AHS 2500mg cream that can be applied topically to help reduce the symptoms of spinal stenosis. Always consult your primary care physician before starting a new treatment.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects approximately 3.5 percent of U.S. adults and women are twice as likely as men to have PTSD. An estimated one in 11 people will be diagnosed with the disorder in their lifetime. Post-traumatic stress disorder is a condition of persistent mental and emotional stress caused by injury or severe psychological shock.

PTSD is characterized by disturbance of sleep, constant vivid recall of the traumatic experience and dulled responses to others and the outside world. Treatment for PTSD includes different types of trauma-focused psychotherapy like cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, as well as prescribed medications. Medications used to treat PTSD include Sertraline, Fluoxetine and Paroxetine.

Each prescribed medication contains negative side effects that include drowsiness, insomnia, indigestion, nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, sweating, tremors, headache, vision changes, anxiety, pain, weakness, flu symptoms and sexual problems.

CBD may help alleviate symptoms for those suffering with PTSD by improving the endocannabinoid system’s (ECS) mediation of essential functions including memory consolidation and retrieval. By activating CB1 and CB2 receptors located throughout this core system, cannabinoids may prompt the system to produce neurotransmitters that helps promote happiness, pleasure and memory.

These cannabinoids play a critical role in assisting PTSD cases by preventing the retrieval of the underlying trauma, which helps in preventing traumatic memories and nightmares, while also helping attain emotional wellbeing without the negative side effects of prescribed medications.

Our AHS 1500mg tincture can be taken sublingually and is perfect for improving symptoms of PTSD. Always consult your primary care physician before starting a new treatment.
