I noticed a redness on my knees as well as elbows not long after giving birth to my second child… She was an extremely hard baby, as well as it was a really stressful time in my life.
- I never got enough sleep as well as regularly upset about the reason my child was crying all the time, however when the rash worsened as well as became itchy as well as sore, I finally went to the doctor.
I was took care of with psoriasis. I’d never heard of it before. It is an autoimmune disease with no cure as well as no definite cause. It is believed that stress can bring on flare ups. The skin regenerates too hastily causing a build up of scales that can itch, crack as well as bleed. The doctor gave me a prescription that was fancy as well as gave little relief. For quite a few years, I tried strange over-the-counter ointments as well as house remedies, even if something helped initially, the psoriasis hastily built up an immunity. I was resigned to residing with the discomfort as well as embarrassment of this skin issue until recreational cannabis was legalized. I went to the dispensary looking for something to help with stress as well as sleep. As I was consulting with a budtender, I mentioned my psoriasis. She immediately advised that I try a combination of tincture as well as topical. She advocated products that are high in CBD as well as CBN to target inflammation as well as pain. Within a few days of starting the cannabis treatment, I noticed a large improvement in my psoriasis. I’ve now been using cannabis as a remedy for nearly a year as well as the psoriasis is barely noticeable. I like that it is a natural medicine separate from harmful side-effects. It’s also a lot less fancy than the synthetic alternatives.
