Indica

About Indica

For many users, Indica is the go to strain for both mental and muscle relaxation. Whether it’s a need to treat aching muscles from a tough workout, or to decompress from a stressful day at work, Indica may be the best choice. Indicas are highly regarded for the body high they impart, famously “locking” users to the couch. This can trigger an increase in dopamine, bringing with it a wave of peaceful relaxation.

Help In Medicine

Generally, cannabis Indica plants are short, bushy plants with wide leaves. Indica strains tend to grow faster than their Sativa counterparts and offer a higher yield of flower. Indicas are also commonly favored to decrease nausea, help treat acute pain, reduce anxiety and help combat seizures. They’re also thought to be effective at treating symptoms associated with lupus, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, sleep apnea and insomnia. Many cancer patients also turn to Indicas for relief from the pain and nausea associated with chemotherapy treatments.

However, because many diseases bring with them side effects like depression and insomnia, consumers should consider treating both their core disease and its recurring symptoms. Ultimately, each consumer should begin by exploring the effects of multiple strains from within each variety of Sativa, Indica and Hybrid.

Studies indicate that Sativa strains may be beneficial for the following medicinal uses:

Increased mental relaxation
Muscle relaxation
Decreased nausea
Promotes sleep
Decreased inflammation and acute pain
Improved appetite
Increased dopamine
A neurotransmitter that helps control the brain’s reward and pleasure centers.
Generally recommended for nighttime use

Many non-medical consumers enjoy Sativa strains for the following recreational uses:

Unwinding from a stressful day
Physical relaxation
Increases chattiness
As a sleep aid
Great for movie night
