    The immune system is intended to protect the body from disease and infection. However, if one has an autoimmune disease, the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s healthy cells.  These conditions can affect many parts of the body. No one is sure what causes them, but they tend to run in families.

    To date, there are more than 80 types of autoimmune diseases. Some present with similar symptoms, which makes them especially difficult for healthcare professionals to diagnose. Often, the first symptoms are fatigue, muscle aches and a low fever. This is generally accompanied by inflammation, which can cause redness, pain and swelling.

    Patients with these conditions often suffer from “flare-ups”, where symptoms worsen, with symptoms easing or disappearing during times of remission. Specific treatment usually depends on the individual autoimmune disease, but in most cases, an important general goal is to reduce inflammation.

    Our Knowledge Centre provides a world of information and is a fantastic starting point for educating yourself on all things medical cannabis.

    IMPORTANT NOTE

    Always speak to your doctor when considering cannabis as a treatment aid. Take great care to safely store products and not expose children or pets unintentionally.

    THC products are psychoactive, causing one to become “high”. These are to be used with special caution in children, pets and persons prone to anxiety or stress. Depending on the unique situation, it may be appropriate to substitute THC with non-psychoactive THCA. CBN and 1:1 oils may also cause mild psychoactive effects.

    However, if products are used correctly, it may be possible to avoid the psychoactive effect entirely. Should you feel uncomfortable or have any questions at any time, our trained team of staff are on standby to attend to your concerns.
