Cannabinoids

PUSH as Rx Fitness Rehabilitation and Cannabinoids: Plants are medicine, and the more research that is conducted then, the more information is available when it comes to medical options for ailments, conditions, diseases, disorders, etc.

Chiropractor Dr. Alex Jimenez takes a look and brings insight into these developing medicines. How they can help patients, what they can do and what they cannot.

Most know about cannabinoids from the marijuana plant. It is the most recognized cannabinoid, aka tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the compound that causes feelings of euphoria.

Scientists identified cannabinoids only in cannabis. However, new research has found these same medicinal qualities in many plants, including black pepper, broccoli, carrots, clove, echinacea, and ginseng.

These vegetables or spices won’t get you high, but understanding how these different plants affect the human body can lead to vital health discoveries.
