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?Can natural therapies help treat dementia symptoms?
Because dementia affects a person’s health as well as their mind, there are a myriad of dementia symptoms that stop them from being able to perform their usual activities, which in turn can cause a dramatic decline in quality of life and mental health.
But, new natural alternative dementia treatments have shown potential in alleviating several symptoms including anxiety, depression, and agitation, as well as improving overall quality of life, appetite, and create weight gain.
Although there are a number of conventional medications prescribed to treat individual symptoms of dementia, plant-based products can combat multiple symptoms at once, and so patients who are unable to find relief with conventional options may be considered eligible for natural dementia treatments.
One of the most common ways a person’s dementia is assessed is using a symptom severity scale called the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI), which goes up to a maximum severity score of 144 points. Researchers in a small-scale study have observed that with a plant-based treatment, overall NPI score reduced by 31.6 points.
