The best cannabis strains to get rid of migraines
Headaches that have proven to be debilitating for some could be migraines. It is a fair estimate that 12% of the population suffers from migraines. To date, there is no cause for these headaches, which makes it difficult to find a cure.
Marijuana can help; it has been used to treat headaches for centuries. Records go back to the 6th century where cannabis was used as a treatment for severe headaches.
Suffers of migraines not only have to endure headaches, but a sensitivity to light and sound can accompany them and can include nausea and bouts of vomiting.
Traditionally the only treatment was prescribed pain medication and OTC products. Sad to say all of these treatment options have side effects. The results of the side effects are often rated mild to severe, depending on the individual capacity to handle the drug being prescribed. It seems that almost all of these treatments have some kind of off adverse side effect. Marijuana can do the same, relieving of the pain and symptoms associated without adverse effects.
Vaping is used as a fast method of delivery for cannabis to aid with the migraine symptoms. Cannabis will relax the mind and body and help to discourage stress.
