Using Raw Cannabis as a Children’s Epilepsy Treatment

For a lot of people, #epilepsy is a very hard thing to live with. It can happen no matter where, with the results being debilitating, and for #children, this becomes problematic with their developmental issues if they have symptoms. If the #symptoms aren’t managed, it’s a problem.

 

According to a new study, it was found that the #cannabinoids from whole flower could help, in a way that it activates both the CB1 and the CB2 receptors, in order to help benefit this.

This paper did find that this is a great seizure treatment and may work for those children that have symptoms that don’t properly respond to other kinds of epilepsy treatments too.

 

How cannabis Helps

 

#Cannabis helps a lot of people for different reasons, and some studies have been found that for those who have epilepsy, tis can be a form of treatment.

 

How it works is something that is still being looked at, but there are a ton of clinical studies which show that with moderate, or even severe epilepsy, it can be a form of treatment for these disorders.

 

It’s even been found that cannabis may be better for relieving symptoms than even normal medications for this. The FDA even approved a drug to hep with this as well and is still being formulated and used by many people already.

 

Using cannabis for #spasms that happen is actually not something brand new. In fact, it’s been used for almost two millennia, in order to treat epileptic conditions, since this can help with seizures of all kinds.

 

There were also patients that used cannabidiol that actually helped their child with severe forms of epilepsy.

 

In the study, it was found that the child had a rare type of epilepsy called Dravet syndrome. The cannabinoids created life-changing results for the child, and her family was also happy with the results of this too.

 

While the child did pass away due to other problems, complications in different health related issues, it also has shown that the therapy behind this is legit, and it can be used with this.

 

The problem, however, is that because of cannabis prohibition, the endorsement of this is well, a big deal for tons of people, both adults and children with the condition.

 

It was found however, that it actually reduces up to 86% of outbursts and moments of epilepsy in children who use this and may prove to be a promising study for those who need it.

 

Children and cannabis

 

Children who have a diagnosed condition are allowed to access cannabis, and a parent or guardian who has access to a medical marijuana facility can possibly get their child onto the #medical #cannabis program to assist them.

 

Those who use this though do need to consult medical practitioners for the right recommendations and practices, and in some cases, they may need to help administer cannabis to the minor in some cases.,

 

If a child is using cannabis for any developmental issues of physical issues, there are also what’s called low #THC products for them to use. This is something that actually helps with the #psychoactive results that may impact a child, reducing paranoia and other issues too.

 

They also may use concentrated cannabis, which may be beneficial for end of life care for those minors who do need it.

Overall, cannabis can help minors who suffer from epilepsy, and help them get the care that they deserve, while also making sure that there is some benefit to this, so that children can get the help they need and reduce episodes as well.
