Gutenberg made his Bibles from it and Levi Strauss his jeans, while Hildegard von Bingen used it as a remedy for all kinds of pain: Hemp! After World War II, however, this medicinal plant was decried as ‘the Devil’s harvest’ – very wrongly so! Hemp contains more than 50 substances with proven healing properties. The most important one for pharmacology is the so-called cannabidiol – CBD in short – a substance that is experiencing a true renaissance today as an incredibly versatile remedy for health and well-being.
This guidebook by two experienced pharmacists covers the ran- ge from traditional healing up to sound science, taking a close look not only at current data from worldwide studies but also at the legal basis for its use. Above all, however, Susanne Hofmann and Alex- ander Ehrmann point out the manifold effects and possible appli- cations of CBD: Used properly and in the right dosage, cannabidiol provides natural relief from pain, anxiety, stress, inflammation and many other ailments. Moreover, because naturopathic medicine is also highly effective in four-legged patients, an extra chapter is devoted to the use of CBD oil in pets.
