| Summary |
"In this much-needed book, medical doctor and internationally recognized expert in CBD, cannabis and natural medicine, Dr. Dani Gordon shows readers how this intriguing plant can work for them. We are in the middle of a medical revolution regarding the cannabis plant and its uses. Medical cannabis has gained notice for treating serious illnesses when drugs fail, CBD oil has become incredibly popular as a wellness product, with hundreds of brands flying off the high street shelves. However, there is still mistrust and confusion around the plant, what it can do and how to make use of it for both wellness, self care and treating medical conditions. What is the difference between CBD and THC? What is the difference between over the counter CBD oils and medical cannabis oils? What is the science? Does it actually work, and what for? What are the potential social and cultural impacts of the plant at a time when alcohol consumption is declining? Many of us are completely confused, even most doctors never mind non-scientists. Dr. Dani Gordon is here to make sense of the landscape, and help every reader figure out what they need to know to start feeling better"-- Provided by publisher. |
