Cannabis as a medicine – remedies of the past rediscovered

Perception of something changes with new evidence and facts. One can see that happen for ayurvedic cannabis medicine now as new research points to the many therapeutic applications of cannabis products.

What is cannabis? A grouping of plant species found to grow naturally in various regions across the globe. Mature cannabis plants produce highly resinous buds that are utilized for their therapeutic medicinal value.

What is hemp? A variety of plant species closely related to cannabis. Hemp is primarily cultivated for the creation of therapeutic cannabinoid extracts, nutritional supplements, and its strong fibers used in fabrics, rope and other industrial applications.

A great many cultures from different regions across the globe have a long history of utilizing cannabis and hemp as a natural remedy for anxiety, pain, insomnia, and the treatment of several other ailments. However, despite this storied and shared cultural heritage, an overall lack of scientific understanding coupled with a perceived potential for societal harm has resulted in decades of strict prohibitions worldwide.

Fortunately, the accumulation of a slow but steady trickle of evidence-based research has begun to rapidly change perceptions regarding cannabis, and the wide range of therapeutic applications for cannabis and hemp products.

For patients in India, cannabis is recognised as a potent plant ingredient in Ayurveda, and cannabis medicine has earned ratification from India’s Ministry of Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa and Homoeopathy (AYUSH). As with other medications, patients can speak with their doctor about the appropriateness of cannabis medicine therapy for their needs. One can also seek out the advice of an ayurvedic doctor who specializes in the use of cannabis medicine. If deemed appropriate, patients will be provided with a prescription to be fulfilled by a manufacturer of approved cannabis medicine products.

Due to restrictions imposed under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, cannabis medicine products currently available in India are required to be made only from the leaves of the cannabis plant. Once harvested, the leaves undergo an extraction process resulting in a highly concentrated mixture of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds found in the cannabis plant. This concentrated extract is then used by manufactures of cannabis medicines to create infused edible oils, topical creams/lotions and other form factors.
