Researchers say a recently-identified chemical compound called BCP found in cannabis and other aromatic plants can calm your mind, relieve chronic pain, and produce a host of “remarkable pharmacological effects” Hailed by natural medicine advocates for its many reported therapeutic properties, cannabidiol [canna-bih-DIE-ol] (CBD) oil has soared in sales to become one of the health food industry’s hottest dietary supplements. Extracted from the flowers and buds of marijuana or hemp plants, CBD has been shown to be an effective non-toxic natural treatment for dozens of health challenges - from anxiety to sleep apnea to epilepsy. Now, researchers at Bonn University have discovered a powerful new molecule naturally occurring in cannabis and other aromatic herbs. The molecule, scientifically designated beta caryophyllene [carry-oh-FILL-een] (or BCP for short), is being hailed as nature’s most potent activator of the body’s key neurological pathways -- and perhaps the most crucial and powerful of all 80-plus known cannabis compounds, (called cannabinoids). “We have discovered that the presence of BCPs in our daily diet is critical for overall wellness and optimal health,” says medicinal plant expert Dr. Cass Ingram, author of The Cannabis Cure. “These compounds are needed to keep the neurological pathways open and functioning in all key organ systems, including the brain, spinal cord, thyroid gland, adrenal glands, ovaries, testes, heart, spleen, intestines, and lymphatic cells.” BCP modulates dozens of functions within our bodies, including: · control of inflammation · reduction of stress and anxiety · regulates immune function · enhances circulation · stimulates digestion · improves overall neurological function Dietary sources of BCP: Black Pepper Basil Parsley Wild Sage Wild Rosemary Cloves Cinnamon Whole Hemp extract Wild Oregano Hops peppers Health challenges that respond to increased dietary BCP Insomnia: Plants rich in the compound BCP like cannabis, cinnamon, holy basil, wild oregano, and hops are among the most effective treatments for sleep disorders and play a key role in inducing a sense of calm or relaxation. Wild oregano oil may be used topically as a rub over the chest and lower neck area to effectively induce sleep in a troubled sleeper. Usual dosage consists of 5 drops of hemp and wild ore
