Alzheimer’s disease natural plant-based treatment
Alzheimer’s Disease is the most common form of dementia in the UK, it can have a profound impact on day-to-day life and it’s symptoms gradually worsen over time causing progressive memory loss and cognitive decline. Unfortunately, many people with Alzheimer’s find that the traditional treatments have caused them to encounter unwanted side effects, or they’ve provided limited relief. Because of this, some have started to look into the alternative options available in the UK, and many are surprised to learn that this includes holistic, natural treatments like those provided by Releaf.

A word from our specialist
“Neurological conditions are many and varied in how they can affect us. The more recognised conditions that are treatable with medical cannabis include epilepsy, where CBD mimics the action of the many anti-epileptic drugs; and multiple sclerosis, which the NHS can prescribe Sativex for. Medical Cannabis offers greater flexibility in the delivery of cannabinoid therapy for these conditions and hope in other areas of neurology, such as in the neurodegenerative conditions and the motor disorders.“

Am I eligible?Are natural alternatives available for Alzheimer’s treatment in the UK?
Yes. In the UK, private healthcare clinics like Releaf can prescribe plant-based medicines to help with Alzheimer’s symptom management in suitable circumstances. This is because a number of the natural ingredients properties and qualities can interact with common Alzheimer’s symptoms, including, but not limited to, anxiety, sleep disturbances and appetite concerns.
While more research is required to fully understand the relationship between Alzheimer’s and plant-based treatments, evidence suggests medicines derived from certain plants can present as a promising alternative for those struggling with conventional approaches to symptom management due to their multifaceted approach.
When administered, Releaf’s plant-based treatments operates within our endocannabinoid system - an internal network of signal messaging that regulates a host of biological processes and functions relating to homeostasis.
Because this system is responsible for maintaining a balanced body, it can interact with mood, appetite, sleep, pain, inflammation, memory and so much more, and once these treatments gain entry to the ECS - they can also interact with these functions, and target a number at one time.
The expert doctors working at Releaf are well-versed in created bespoke, personalised treatment plans to treat a plethora of symptoms depending on each individual, and this includes those with Alzheimer’s disease.
Our natural, alternative treatment plans are carefully monitored for safety and efficacy by the doctors and staff working at our CQC regulated clinic, and we’re here to guide patients through every step of their journey towards better health with care and compassion.
