Medical Marijuana and Yan Hu Suo ease chronic pain.

My first experience with medical marijuana was when I treated a 20 yo male patient who was dying of an autoimmune disease that was attacking his nervous system. Doctors were attempting to knock out his immune system with some very toxic drugs typically used in cancer treatments. When I saw him, in his home, he was emaciated and in a constant state of nausea and pain.

Life was miserable for him while he endured treatments that resulted in a chronic state of nausea and retching bile. This patient used medicinal marijuana and it was the only thing that gave him relief.

There are many such patients out there that find the use of marijuana to be relieving.

For these patients, there can be some side effects to marijuana use. The biggest one being a feeling of paranoia or anxiety.

There is a way to relieve the side effects while improving the benefits. The herb Yan hu suo is a traditional herb in China used for pain and trauma. It's pain relieving, anti-inflammatory, and muscle relaxing effects are perhaps the strongest of known herbs other than poppy derivatives. In very large dosages it's effects are obvious.

As a strong tea, ingested with marijuana, the effects are noticeably improved. All of the normally expected positive effects of marijuana are enhanced and the minor side effects are completely eliminated.

This is wonderful news for anyone truly suffering with acute pain.

Do not take Yan Hu Suo without consulting an expert herbalist who has experience with this herb.

I hope this is helpful.
