Therapeutic use of the Cannabis plant is a fascinating, groundbreaking development in science, medicine, and social change. In the US and many other countries, the ill-informed prohibition of the cannabis plant is being discarded, and therapeutic access to cannabis is again opening up.
Thousands of years of human use, and decades of research from all over the world affirm the remarkable ways the active compounds in the cannabis plant interact with our bodies to nourish and support our own innate endocannabinoid system - understood now to be key in regulating balance and smooth functioning of our most vital physiological processes - particularly for brain, hormonal, and immune system health.
Cannabis may help treat:
Chronic Pain
Post Traumatic Stress
Traumatic Brain Injury and Spinal Cord Disease
Cancer treatment side effects
Chronic Illnesses including Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s Disease
Seizure Disorders
Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia
After assessment and conversation about your concerns, we will determine if Cannabis Medicine is a good option for you. Sometimes other integrative and botanical medicine therapies are more or concurrently appropriate, and I will offer you these suggestions and resources.
If you live in New Hampshire or Vermont and have a qualifying condition, I can provide certification for the Medical Cannabis program. If you are in another state, I can assist you in obtaining certification for medical cannabis from your doctor.
I do not prescribe, sell or dispense cannabis medicines.
I provide personalized education, guidance, and advocacy relevant to your interest in the use of therapeutic cannabis. I do not assume the role of primary health care provider for the conditions you are treating. I work in collaboration with you, and your other health care providers when appropriate, to support you in the use of cannabis medicine as part of an integrative approach to your care.
