OverviewYou have probably come across many names for cannabis, including marijuana, hemp, pot, grass and hash. Cannabis has been used by people for thousands of years, both medicinally and recreationally.The cannabis plant produces a resin that contains various substances. Some of these may have medicinal value. These substances are known as cannabinoids.Two main cannabinoids have been identified: -delta-9-tetrahydrocannabidiol (THC) .-cannabidiol (CBD) - CBD.There are some drugs available that are derived from cannabis, for example Sativex, used for multiple sclerosis and Nabilone, used sometimes for sickness caused by chemotherapy. These go through the same processes as any other medicine to be licensed in the UK as a prescribable drug.Cannabis oil is a thick, sticky substance composed of cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, which is obtained from cannabis flowers using a solvent extraction procedure. It is the most concentrated form of cannabis products, which makes cannabis oil the most powerful. The oil can be vaporized into the lungs, ingested orally, applied topically or used as a suppository. It can also be mixed with creams or salves for beauty treatments, and other external uses.The cannabis plant originated from Central Asia, and is one of the oldest, mental stimulating drugs known to mankind. The beginnings of its use are difficult to trace, since the plant was cultivated and consumed long before the appearance of writing. According to archeological discoveries, the cannabis plant has been known in China at least since around 4000 BC.Cannabis, particularly cannabis oil, is a popular topic. Understandably, many people want to try anything that may help treat their own, or a loved one's, cancer - particularly if things are not going well with conventional treatments. Cannabis oil is only one of a number of treatments people might come across. Cannabis oil can contain varying amounts of CBD and THC.Some of the diseases and conditions that cannabis oil has been used for include: Crohn's disease, diabetes, gout, pain relief, glaucoma, migraines, Dravet syndrome, asthma, Doose syndrome, epilepsy, anorexia, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, opioid dependence, strokes, head trauma, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, HIV, dementia and - what I will be focusing on - gynecologic cancer.CBD oil does not contain THC and therefore does not have any psychoactive effects. It can be sold in many countries of the world as long as it is sold as a food supplement and the sellers are not making any claim about its medicinal properties.There are a number of examples where people say that using CBD oil has had a dramatic effect on their health. These are testimony to the efficacy of CBD Oil as an alternative therapy.
