Here's an overview of how sedative cannabis strains can have different effects on medical conditions depending on individual diagnosis:
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ( ADHD) : Calming strains help reduce hyperactivity and impulsivity in ADHD patients. They can contribute to relaxation, relieve possible accompanying anxiety and improve sleep patterns, especially in people with insomnia.
Chronic Pain: Calming and sedative cannabis strains are characterized by their body-centered effects, making them particularly effective at relieving physical pain. The resulting relaxation can help relieve muscle tension and relieve pain.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS): The muscle-relaxing properties of calming and sedative strains can be beneficial for MS patients and help reduce muscle spasms and pain.
Glaucoma (glaucoma): The main benefit of cannabis for glaucoma is its ability to lower intraocular pressure. Calming strains can provide additional relaxation for patients suffering from the stress of illness.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) : Calming cannabis strains can be instrumental in helping you relax, improve sleep, and reduce nightmares. They may provide relief from hyperarousal symptoms and improve overall sleep quality.
Anxiety : Calming cannabis strains are particularly effective at managing anxiety and can provide a deep feeling of relaxation. They help reduce racing thoughts and may relieve physical symptoms of anxiety.
Depression : Although elevating cannabis strains are often recommended for depression, some patients may benefit from the relaxing effects and improved sleep that sedative strains provide - especially if depression is accompanied by anxiety.
Arthritis : The anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties of sedative cannabis strains can particularly benefit arthritis sufferers during flare-ups or at night when relaxation and sleep are needed.
Insomnia : Calming and sedative cannabis strains are often recommended for relieving insomnia thanks to their calming effects. They can help make the process of falling asleep easier and improve sleep duration.
