We all know that cannabis gets you high – and we also know that it provides relief for many medical ailments: from anxiety, depression and PTSD – to chronic pain, glaucoma and more.  But did you know there are several uses of marijuana that specifically help women? Following are five uses and benefits of cannabis that you may not be aware of:

Alleviates PMS symptoms.

By interacting with the receptors in our endocannabinoid system – the biological system that affects our central nervous system, including the brain – cannabis can alleviate many PMS symptoms such as cramps, mood swings, stress, anxiety, bloating, fatigue, constipation and more.

Hormonal Imbalance

Helps manage hormonal imbalance.

Research shows that marijuana helps regulate the secretion of cortisol, the stress activating hormone. By influencing the regulation of hormones, cannabis acts as a preventative measure against hormonal imbalance that can cause menstrual irregularity, weight gain, mood swings, and even hair loss.

Final thoughts

An additional important use and benefit of cannabis in how it improves sleep quality. Cannabis is known to boost signaling through serotonin receptors, thereby reducing anxiety. By reducing anxiety, it in turn helps to decrease sleep difficulties, including insomnia, even for those with chronic pain.

With the ability to alleviate so many health conditions — without any of the harmful side effects caused by so many Big Pharma drugs — cannabis offers something positive for every woman (and man)!
