Top Cannabis Strains For Herpes
Herpes is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases around. With an estimated 1 in every 6 persons infected with the virus, it’s likely that you might even have it without knowing it.
In some cases, the symptoms are so mild that the virus is basically dormant for several years. It’s not until a painful outbreak occurs that a person could finally actually know that they have herpes. The first year after infection usually means that outbreaks happen frequently, although afterwards its less frequent and painful. There are certain lifestyle factors that can cause outbreaks to occur; the most common culprits are stress, lack of sleep, exposure to sunlight, hormonal changes, or a weak immune system.
There is no cure to herpes – once you have it, the virus stays in the body forever. But this doesn’t mean that herpes can’t be managed. By making sure that you’re always well-rested, avoid stress and too much sun, you can reduce the occurrences of a herpes outbreak.
The good news is that cannabis is effective in suppressing the herpes virus. Research shows that THC works to suppress and decrease herpes outbreaks. Many people already use cannabis to help them deal with the pain of serious outbreaks, as well as reduce stress to prevent triggering the virus. There are many strains that address the symptoms associated with herpes, and can be used for both day or night medication.
If you are looking to use cannabis to manage herpes, here are the top 5 best strains:
- Green Crack is one of the best pains out there for dealing with pain.
