oHHo Cannabinoids
Cannabis plants contain over 100 ‘cannabinoid’ compounds and THC, CBD, CBG and CBN are four examples. These compounds are unique to the cannabis plant and unique in the way they interact with us. We have a biological regulatory system known as the endocannabinoid system, or ECS. Cannabis compounds interact with receptors within the ECS. Some are intoxicating like THC, most are non-intoxicating.
THC, CBD, CBG and CBN Are 4 Significant Cannabinoids, each Providing Specific Therapeutic Potential.
THC has analgesic properties that are 20 times that of Ibuprofen, is a potent anti-inflammatory agent and antioxidant. It is prescribed for nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy treatment and research shows significant improvement with weight gain due to THC's effect on increasing appetite and mood.
CBD is a non-intoxicating neuroprotective compound that has a greater antioxidant quality than vitamin C and E. It has strong anti-anxiety properties as well as being an anti-inflammatory agent suggesting an important therapeutic role in various inflammatory and chronic pain states. It also has anticonvulsant benefits and stimulates bone healing.
CBG is a non-intoxicating compound that has been shown to reduce blood pressure and intraocular pressure as well. It slows down the uptake of GABA chemicals in the body allowing the calming effect of these chemicals to last longer. CBG has also got antidepressant properties and is a potent antibacterial agent.
CBN has been shown to provide mildly sedative effects when in combination with THC. CBN also provides anticonvulsant, antiinflammatory and antibiotic properties.
All of oHHo’s products are made from full spectrum extracts – this means they contain small amounts of minor cannabinoids and other beneficial compounds found in cannabis plants, providing a natural and balanced cannabis experience.
