Antidepressant Properties
BG has tons of benefits, hence all the excitement about this cannabinoid. And the benefits range from the physical to the mental. Now researchers are still looking into all these discoveries and there are no structured clinical studies to fall back on yet but the results so far have produced a long list of promising benefits.
Bear Appetite Inducing Capabilities
CBG is also believed to bear appetite inducing capabilities. Tests conducted on mice showed that CBG can induce the ECS to trigger feelings of increased appetite. Scientists believe this reaction can be tapped to help with poor appetite among sick or depressed patients.
Antibacterial Properties
CBG has also been seen to have antibacterial properties. Special success with MRSA (Methicillin-resistant bacteria) has led researchers to believe that CBG can be used to treat even the most stubborn bacterial infections.
Anti-Inflammatory Effect
CBG has anti-inflammatory effects and has been seen to have various levels of success with diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, colitis (inflammation of the colon), Crohn’s disease (a form of IBD that causes abdominal pain, diarrhea, malnutrition, and weight loss), eczema, and psoriasis.
Anti-Cancer Properties
CBG is also believed to have anti-cancer properties. It is believed that CBG has the potential to inhibit cancer growth and thereby stop cancer tumors from developing. One study showed great results with helping prevent colon cancer.
Effective Treatment Against Glaucoma
CBG is also an effective treatment against glaucoma. From the beginning, cannabis has been known to have medicinal effects that help with glaucoma. Now scientists are discovering that CBG could be the reason why. By dilating the blood vessels in the optic nerves, CBG can help relieve intraocular pressure and treat glaucoma.
Proven To Have Anti-THC Effects
CBG has been proven to have anti-THC effects. This means it can be effectively used to reverse or ‘even out’ the psychotropic properties of cannabis/ THC. These anti-psychotropic properties can be developed to help with patients suffering from cannabis addiction using a healthy and organic cure.
Pain Killing Properties
CBG has also been established through animal tests to have analgesic (pain killing) properties. This is brought about by the ability of CBG to inhibit pain receptors through interaction with the endocannabinoid system in the human body.
Help With Blood Pressure Regulation
CBG has also been seen to help with blood pressure regulation. These properties could be developed and applied to help people suffering from high or low blood pressure, diabetes, or even people going into surgery.
Neuroprotective And Anti-Neurodegeneration Properties
CBG has also been established as having neuroprotective and anti-neurodegeneration properties that can protect the nervous system against dire illnesses such as Huntington’s disease.
Help With Sleep Disorders
CBG has also been seen via tests on rats as having capabilities to help with sleep disorders by interacting with neural receptors in the endocannabinoid system. This could be developed to help with insomnia, interrupted sleep, and other sleeping disorders.
CBG’s medical properties are still an ongoing body of work and this information is in no way a green light to abandon prescribed medical treatment and replace it with CBG. Please consult your doctor about CBG or even taking CBG alongside your existing treatments.
