Using Cannabis Oil To Heal Wounds
A middle-aged Canadian man that was diagnosed with oral cancer in 2013, found that cannabis might be helpful in reducing wounds inflicted by his disease. He found that not only did cannabis oil reduce his pain but that it also helped to heal a hole that he had growing in his cheek.
The results of his case are according to a recent report that was published in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management.
Although the man eventually passed away, his doctor acknowledges that the discovery of how the oil helped his wound was rather groundbreaking, in that it validated what's been known about cannabis for many thousands of years; that it can help to heal the body in a myriad of ways.
As of today, there aren't any studies that have investigated the benefits of using cannabis oil as a topical treatment for wounds.
The paper that was recently published, details about how the patient spent his time vising palliative-care clinic in Toronto, Canada. Opiod-based medications proved to be unsuccessful for him, as well as common cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. After those failed then he turned to smoking cannabis, but when he couldn't smoke it anymore because of the hole in his cheek then he turned to cannabis oil. Thankfully he was able to get some inflammation and pain relief from that oil, so as to improve the quality of life that he had for the time that remained.
He certainly isn't the first person to turn to cannabis for a topical treatment for wounds either. It's been said that cannabis has been used for this purpose and a variety of others for many years now. It's just now we have the capability to use modern science in order to help us better understand the ability of cannabis to heal.

The almighty medicine!
A fascinating subject considering the remarkable relationship humans have had with this plant species for millennia (in spite of current absurd politics of prohibition) - the fact that we have THC receptors pre-existing in our biological brains ought to be a clue to the profound nature of healing plants and the human biome... jus sayin!
I never trusted doctors. I do believe in nature its plant medicines to prevent diseases and shamans as practionors. I note : I do NOT smoke cannabis since more than 15 years but would use it again as soon as I would be weak due to age or in pain due to heavy diseases
i don't trust them much either..
Upvoted and resteemed!!!
thanks man!
😉
Such a magical plant!
Don't let the pharmaceutical companies know!
this is a good illustration lol
Haha yes it is!
It's such great medicine. Amen Upvoted
If it works you should have the right to use it if you chose it!! And it is being proven again to work.
What if it is just alcohol and all it works doing is getting you drunk and giving you health issues. Should you still have the right? I think so
