Cannabis is an excellent natural remedy for individuals who have experienced concussions and brain trauma. It’s especially useful for athletes in boxing or in football, both sports wherein serious blows to the head are part of the game.

The severity of a concussion isn’t taken as seriously as it should. Symptoms can last for as long as 6 months after the initial blow, such as insomnia, irritability, dizziness, fatigue, headaches, noise and light sensitivity, difficulty concentrating, impaired memory, and more. In serious cases, it can even cause a person to be depressive and suicidal.

Cannabis can help with concussions and brain trauma in three ways. One, cannabis helps to reduce inflammation. Brain injury can cause chronic degenerative problems because of long-term inflammation within the brain. Inflammation is the main culprit behind most of the symptoms that arise after traumatic brain injury including depression, cognitive decline, and brain atrophy. Cannabis’s anti-inflammatory properties are well-known, and it can also help the brain grow new cells.

Two, cannabis helps protect the brain. Cannabis use has been used to treat neurodegenerative conditions such as dementia, Parkinson’s Disease, and Alzheimer’s. The endocannabinoid system also plays an important role in helping the brain recover from brain injuries. Last but not the least, cannabis can also be used to prevent further damage to the brain. Using cannabis before engaging in risky sports such as boxing and football can offer protection naturally and without side effects.
