As part of our Experts explain series, we sat down with Dr Sue Clenton, an expert Oncologist and Specialist Consultant at Releaf, to speak about medical cannabis treatments and chronic pain.
Pain is the most common reason for medical intervention worldwide. While many of us will have a stash of over-the-counter painkillers in our medicine cupboard, these are not always sufficient for relieving our pain. But with the undesirable side effects of stronger pain medications, more people than ever are looking for natural pain relief. So, what are some of the best natural and holistic pain management techniques that really work?
Our bodies contain an intensely complex network of receptors, enzymes and neurotransmitters, each playing a vital role in our overall functioning, health, and wellness. Dopamine and serotonin, for example, are two neurotransmitters known for their role in mood, pleasure, and motivation. So, what can we do to give our bodies a natural boost of these important chemicals?
It’s International Women’s Day (IWD) - a day dedicated to celebrating the diverse and incredible contributions of women throughout history and continuing the fight toward gender equity and inclusion.

In this week’s Wellness Wednesday, Releaf takes a look into the annual vegan awareness month Veganuary to learn why people do it, the benefits and risks, how to replace your protein sources to ensure you get the complete selection and consider other important health aspects of the diet like adding in supplements.
When December comes to a close, a lot of us adopt a ‘new year, new me’ philosophy and are eager to set targets and new year resolutions to become the best version of ourselves. While we set our sights high, sometimes despite our best interest, the cold, dark and busy winters can feel draining, and finding the motivation to keep up momentum can be a challenge.
The new year is a perfect time to set new health habits and start the way you intend for it to go on. There's no need to reinvent yourself overnight, but introducing one or two new habits that are easy to stick to can make a significant impact over the year.
In the chill of winter, our immune system requires some extra TLC to stay strong. While vaccines offer targeted protection against individual viruses, other holistic practices and easy measures can fortify our bodies natural defences, and equip them with extra armour.
When you’re suffering from health issues, the first thing that should be considered is diet. Eating food doesn’t just stop us from feeling hungry, as I’m sure you are all aware. It was the founding father of modern medicine, Hypocrites, who said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” That quote is from around 2,400 years ago, but it still rings true today.
Earlier this month, Self Care Week was celebrated all over the UK - but we think its importance rings true all year round. That’s why we’ve launched our latest blog series: Wellness Wednesday; to take a look at alternative, natural and holistic approaches to improving our wellbeing.
