What is Migraine?<\/h4>\n
Migraine is a neurological disorder and can cause multiple symptoms: intense headache, nausea, vomiting, difficulty speaking, and light and sound tolerance, or even facial paralysis that can make a migraine attack feel like a heart attack. Migraines often run in families.<\/p>\n
What causes migraines?<\/h4>\n
There are usually several causes. It may be due to an imbalance in serotonin levels, inflammation may be the culprit, there may be a link between that inflammation and certain nerve pathways, which makes you feel the pain more intensely, or estrogen plays a role.<\/p>\n
Migraines in women<\/h4>\n
If you hear more often from your friends that they are flattened by migraines, and not so often from your friends, it is not surprising. Women and people with a uterus are three times more likely to suffer from the headache type than men. The reason? Estrogen. This hormone is a major factor in migraine attacks.<\/p>\n
In women, migraine usually manifests itself in episodes: at certain points in the cycle the headache looms and then disappears for a while. If you have an autoimmune disease, it can also trigger migraines.<\/p>\n
Cannabis and Migraines<\/h4>\n
It is important to first know what your migraine triggers are: is it your hormones, is it bright light, is it something else? One type of migraine is not the other. And for one strain, a certain strain of cannabis may work, but it doesn't have to be. Cannabis (THC and CBD) has an anti-inflammatory effect, a property that can make all the difference in migraine. If the migraine is stress-related, CBD and THC also work well because cannabis calms the nervous system and helps to restore your natural balance (homeostasis). Cannabis can also help reduce seizures.<\/p>\n
CBD and Migraines<\/h4>\n
CBD is a natural anti-inflammatory. If you take CBD regularly and preventively, this will help attenuate your migraines. Are you having an acute attack? Then extra cannabis in the form of the right kind of weed (THC) can help take the sharp edges of the migraine. Do you normally lie down for three days after a migraine attack? Then preventive CBD use can ensure that you only need 6-7 hours to recover.<\/p>\n
inhale<\/h4>\n
Smoking cannabis when you have a migraine is a mini massage for your head. Give it a try! You can smoke both CBD weed and 'regular' weed, and that usually contains a lot of THC. You get high from THC weed, but not from CBD. Inhalation is the best method of ingesting cannabis for acute migraines. It works very quickly that way, and you absorb a lot into your bloodstream.<\/p>\n
