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.
