What is CBD and how can it help you heal?

The African Cannamed Co has been delivering premium quality CBD oil to South Africa since 2016. The founder of the company, Marcio Vila Pouca has always had a passion for the plant.

“The plant has always been a part of my life. I wanted to bring the potential and the power that this industrious plant can offer to the world. Not just the stigma around it for being classified as a drug. Demonized the way it has for many years. I love what I do, and I make a living off my passion.”

Mission: Best CBD oil in South Africa

The African Cannamed Co’s vision is to create quality Phytocannabinoid enriched (PCR) infused products that are safe, effective alternatives to toxic prescription drugs. These have harsh chemical compounds alien to nature’s remedies. The mission of the company is to regulate, educate and medicate. The African Cannamed Co way. Naturally.

The Power of The Plant

All CBD products begin as an extract from the entire cannabis/hemp plant. Cannabis plants create cannabinoids and terpenes through trichomes, which are small glands on the leaves and flowers. These trichomes generate the fragrance and nutritional properties of cannabis.

The psychoactive cannabinoid tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The most common psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis, meaning it causes a high feeling. CBD is not psychotropic like THC.

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) oversees the baseline activity levels of our immune and nervous systems, allowing us to keep healthy. If the ECS is out of balance, the systems it regulates begin to fail. CBD appears to promote the health and function of the ECS, thereby alleviating symptoms caused by ECS dysfunction.

What conditions does it assist?

CBD Oil has been known to help with the following according to Healthline.com:

Pain Management

• Studies have shown that CBD may help reduce chronic pain by affecting endocannabinoid receptor activity, reducing inflammation, and interacting with neurotransmitters. [NCBI]
• The combined effects of CBD and THC may reduce pain associated with MS and fibromyalgia.

Mental Health

• Neuroprotective properties – CBD’s capacity to function on the endocannabinoid system and other brain signaling systems, according to researchers, may be beneficial to people suffering from neurological illnesses.
• A study is being conducted to see if CBD can help people with schizophrenia.
• Other mental health conditions such as anxiety are also being studied.
• Addicts who are addicted to certain narcotics may find CBD helpful in overcoming their anxiety and depression.
• CBD has been shown in some studies to help people with sleep disorders sleep better. More research is needed.

Cancer and Heart

• CBD reduces the side effects of cancer treatment; nausea, vomiting, and pain. African Cannamed Co had a cancer patient whose shaking, and pain associated with his chemo treatment reduced considerably after taking the product. “Twenty to thirty minutes after taking African Cannamed Co’s CBD oil my father’s shaking reduced, and you could see the pain relief in his face.” Patient’s son Ryan.
• CBD may enhance heart health in a variety of ways. Lowering blood pressure and increasing arterial function.

Testing of CBD oil South Africa and worldwide 

According to Forbes.Com. and a recent analysis of lab testing data. One of four CBD products sold in the United States does not test for pesticides, heavy metals, or microbiological contamination.

Business Insider South Africa reported that out of 10 products tested, only one was found to have the correct labelling on the product and eight of the products contained more CBD than reported.

African Cannamed Co lab-tests all products and can provide a certificate of analysis.
