I noticed a redness on my knees and elbows not long after giving birth to my second child.
He was an extremely hard baby, and it was a easily stressful time in my life.
I never got enough sleep and constantly distraught about the reason my son was crying all the time; When the rash worsened and became itchy and sore, I finally went to the healthcare expert. I was took care of with psoriasis. I’d never heard of it before. It is an autoimmune disease with no cure and no definite cause. It is believed that stress can bring on flare ups. The skin regenerates too abruptly causing a build up of scales that can itch, crack and bleed. The healthcare expert offered me a prescription that was luxurious and gave little relief. For quite a few years, I tried weird over-the-counter ointments and condo remedies. Even if something helped initially, the psoriasis abruptly built up an immunity. I was resigned to living with the discomfort and embarrassment of this skin issue until recreational cannabis was legalized. I went to the dispensary looking for something to help with stress and sleep. As I was consulting with a budtender, I mentioned my psoriasis. He instantaneously recommended that I try a combination of tincture and topical. He recommended products that are high in CBD and CBN to target inflammation and pain. Within a few afternoons 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 and the psoriasis is barely noticeable. I like that it is a natural medicine without harmful side-effects. It’s also a lot less luxurious than the synthetic alternatives.
