About Sativa

Sativa strains are typically used to treat depression and enhance mood. Cannabis Sativa plants are physically different from Indica strains in that they grow tall and thin with narrow leaves. Sativa plants also tend to be a lighter shade of green than their Indica counterparts. Sativa strains have a longer to growth cycle, taking longer to mature and require more light.

Help In Medicine

Many consumers report that Sativa strains tend to help with psychological disorders such as depression, PTSD and anxiety. Indicas are often preferred for management of pain and inflammation making them prime candidates for consideration by patients with ailments such as arthritis, fibromyalgia and cancer. 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 consulting with their doctor before exploring the effects of multiple strains from within each variety of Sativa, Indica and Hybrid.
