Cannabis as a Master Plant Healer

When it comes to sacred healing plants and chronic disease, Cannabis is a true Master Plant that has the capacity to facilitate healing on the physical, emotional, energetic and spiritual levels of one’s being.

Cannabis has played a huge role in my own personal healing journey and was the single biggest factor in me being able to fully heal from ulcerative colitis, an extremely debilitating autoimmune disease that western medicine considers to be ‘incurable’. I experienced firsthand the immense healing capabilities of Cannabis and, for three months, made my own Cannabis Paste and ingested it daily. By the end of those three months, not only was the ulcerative colitis completely healed, but the deeper psycho-emotional imprints of past traumas, which had led to the onset of the disease, had been healed as well. This showed me firsthand that healing is not just a physical journey. It is a journey of reconnecting with and re-harmonizing all parts of one’s Self, from the physical to the emotional, energetic and spiritual.

As chronic disease becomes more and more prolific in the modern world, potent healing modalities are needed now more than ever. Whether it is someone suffering from IBS, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s and other severe digestive disorders, various cancers, or a wide array of autoimmune diseases, people are realizing that the modern healthcare industry offers no solutions to many of the health problems they face. It is specifically because of this that many are seeking answers elsewhere, returning to the natural world and the healing remedies provided there. Among the most utilized and, in my opinion, the plant with perhaps the highest potential for the healing of chronic disease, resides Cannabis.

As a result of my own profound experiences with full spectrum Cannabis Paste (more popularly known as Rick Simpson Oil), as well as the testimonials of countless others I’ve met throughout my journey who have also benefitted from Cannabis Paste, I offer personalized 1:1 Mentorship and Group Mentorship programs.

A Brief History of Cannabis as a Healer

For thousands of years, Cannabis has been revered by cultures around the world for its immense healing capabilities, as well as its ability to reconnect one with Spirit. Evidence of its use spans thousands of years and is found in the religious and medical texts throughout Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe. In original Ayurvedic medicine and in the Indian Vedas, it held the title of being one of the 5 most sacred healing plants given to mankind. In the Bible, it is referenced numerous times as one of the key ingredients (called ‘kaneh-bosem’) in the holy anointing oils of the high priests. The list of treatments cannabis was used for in these ancient cultures included treatment of the eyes (likely glaucoma), poultice, migraines, gynecological disorders, digestive disorders, inflammation, edema, earaches, burns (when used as a salve), joint pains, and more.

Cannabis eventually made its way to the Americas, where it was found in the majority of healing remedies up until the time of its demonization and subsequent illegality orchestrated by powerful corporate interests in conjunction with the United States government in the early 1900s. This move, led by the Rockefellers who sought a monopoly on the healthcare industry, led to the takeover of allopathic (oil-based) medicine. At the same time, holistic and natural remedies were removed from medical training programs and, in some cases, practicing naturopathic or holistic medicine was made illegal. The ramifications of this corporate takeover of medicine are the reasons why there are countless chronic disease epidemics today, as allopathic medicine maintains its stranglehold on the health of billions of humans across the planet.

In the 1970s, after research by Yale highlighted the cancer-killing properties of Cannabis, the US government decided to list Cannabis as a Schedule 1 narcotic, meaning there is no possibility of therapeutic benefit and a high possibility of abuse. This decision, once again driven by corporate interests, instilled an immediate ban into all research regarding the medicinal properties of the Cannabis, a ban that largely still persists to this day.

Despite every effort to suppress the healing properties of the Cannabis plant, many in the modern world are turning to this sacred plant to find relief from their various afflictions and healing from chronic illness. Pioneers in this field, such as Rick Simpson and Jack Herer, have spent their lives sharing information about the healing benefits of Cannabis. Because of their work, thousands around the world have been able to find relief, and in some cases, complete healing from their chronic disease.

The Endocannabinoid System

What makes Cannabis such a potent healer is the fact that it works directly on the Endocannabinoid System (ECS), one of the most crucial yet understudied regulatory systems found in mammals.

Endocannabinoids, meaning ‘endogenous cannabinoids’, can be thought of as the body’s natural ‘feel-good’ hormones which help to maintain balance, equilibrium and harmony throughout the physical, psycho-emotional and energetic spheres of the body.

The ECS was discovered in the early 1990s and has been found to regulate nearly all other systems in the body, including the autonomic nervous system, the immune system, circadian rhythms, mood regulation, reproductive health and more.

Endocannabinoid receptors have been found in the nerves, skin, immune cells, bone, fat tissue, liver, pancreas, skeletal muscle, heart, blood vessels, and kidneys, yet the places with the highest concentration of endocannabinoid receptors are found within the gastrointestinal tract and the brain. In fact, there is strong evidence emerging to support the hypothesis that the ECS is what allows the gut and the brain to be able to communicate with one another. The ECS then acts as the channel of communication between your ‘gut-brain’ (the enteric nervous system) and your brain. This channel of communication is extremely important when it comes to immune system responses, emotional regulation, mental sharpness and clarity, gut and brain health, regulation of inflammatory responses in the body, hormonal balance, nervous system regulation and more.

What makes this even more fascinating is that the cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant perfectly fit into the endocannabinoid receptor sites located throughout the body, notably in the gastrointestinal tract and the brain. There are some who hypothesize that disruptions to the proper functioning of the ECS is what leads to many of the chronic diseases we see today. The endocannabinoids produced naturally by your body keep your body healthy, balanced and regulated. When your body stops producing endocannabinoids due to environmental stressors, toxins, unresolved trauma, suppressed emotions, poor gut health, lack of sufficient nutrients, and more, one or more of your body’s systems loses balance, becoming dis-harmonic and eventually, disease manifests physically. By supplementing with the cannabinoids found within the Cannabis plant, the ECS is able to recover and regain its normal functioning. Once that happens, it goes about its work of regulating and harmonizing the rest of the body’s systems. This is (potentially) how Cannabis Paste works in restoring health and vitality through the healing of chronic disease.
