Cannabinoids, the naturally occurring compounds in marijuana and hemp plants, have been studied and praised for their numerous potential health benefits. Two of the most abundant cannabinoids, delta-9 THC and CBD, are also the most well known. Delta-9 THC is known as the psychoactive compound that produces the “high” that comes along with marijuana use. On the other hand, CBD has been studied for its many lifestyle benefits and ability to treat such issues as insomnia, inflammation, and more.
There are other cannabinoids, each with their own potential benefits, but since these are only naturally available in smaller amounts, they have not yet achieved widespread attention from mainstream sources. One of these beneficial cannabinoids, CBG, is actually the first compound produced by hemp plants as they start to mature. Although scientific research is still in early stages, it indicates that CBG could also treat issues such as chronic pain and high cholesterol. This article will explain what exactly CBG is and how CBG can be used to manage pain.
What is CBG?
As stated above, CBG is the first cannabinoid that is produced by maturing hemp plants. Actually, it’s CBGa, the acidic form of the compound. As the plants continue to grow, CBGa is broken down by sunlight and transformed into other cannabinoids. Because of this process, CBG is commonly referred to as the “Mother of all cannabinoids.”
Many hemp customers use CBG to treat insomnia, anxiety, and chronic pain, among other conditions. Like CBD, CBG is well-known for having analgesic and anti-inflammatory qualities. The precise method by which CBG interacts with the body to produce potential advantages is still unknown, however it is thought to begin with the ECS. The endocannabinoid system, or ECS, is primarily in charge of several bodily processes, including pain management, inflammatory response, sleep cycles, and emotional reactions. Science shows that CBG can attach to the ECS's CB1 and CB2 receptors. This may account for CBG's great potential for use as a medicinal substance.
CBG Pain Relief
Although CBG has a multitude potential health benefits, many customers actually use CBG for chronic pain. This is because of particular CBG analgesic effects. Because CBG has anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties, it can reduce inflammation and prevent pain signals from entering our neurological system2.
Compared to traditional methods, CBG can offer a more thorough method of relief by addressing both inflammation and pain signals.
Evidence also points to CBG as being an even more effective painkiller than aspirin and THC, without the psychoactive effects.
