Women face a gender care gap,
FACT: 76% of doctors say women’s health conditions like endometriosis, perimenopause and PMDD don’t have enough treatment options. This came from a survey on 500 NHS doctors and GPs.
FACT: NHS gynaecology waiting lists have more than doubled since 2020, leaving thousands of women with untreated chronic conditions and unnecessary pain.
FACT: Something has to be done to change this.
We decided to launch a dedicated women’s health service. Our goal: to close the gender care gap.
Medical cannabis and women’s health
To understand how medical cannabis works in the body to potentially help with a number of women’s health conditions, we first need to explain the endocannabinoid system, also known as the ECS. This is a messenger and receptor system that experts believe plays a big role in homeostasis (the management of balance) within the human body. Research suggests that the ECS influences and modulates mood, appetite, sleep, pain, and much more.
One of the core components of the ECS are the cannabinoid receptors, which includes CB1 and CB2. They’re one of the main reasons behind why medical cannabis has the potential to work positively on so many different conditions. THC and CBD, two compounds found in the cannabis plant that have a number of potential therapeutic benefits, can interact with and influence these receptors to potentially regulate pain, mood sleep and more.
A potentially life-changing solution for those suffering from women’s health conditions like endometriosis, PDMM and menopause.
A dedicated women’s health service
Many women often feel ignored and misunderstood when it comes to reporting health concerns. This can lead to prolonged and unnecessary pain that disrupts daily life. Our dedicated women’s health service aims to give our patients the best support possible.
We have a team of women’s health specialists who are trained in prescribing medical cannabis for women’s health conditions: a big step in the right direction for those who are now seeking alternative treatment. We will listen to you. We will take you seriously. We will work with you. Find out if you qualify by heading to our website and completing the 30 second eligibility checker.
