Cannabis for Swelling

Inflammation is a complex biological response to injury, infection, or irritation. It is a vital part of the body’s immune system and is necessary for healing and protecting against harm. When the body senses an injury or infection, it releases various chemicals and immune cells to the affected area. These substances cause blood vessels to dilate, allowing more blood to flow to the area and bringing immune cells to the site of the injury or infection.

Medicinal cannabisis including CBD and THC, may help alleviate inflammation with treatment.
