Chronic Pain
Medical cannabis (THC) sarcoidosis treatment
Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory condition where lumps, called granulomas, develop in the body. Granulomas can form around organs, eventually stopping those organs from functioning correctly. Sarcoidosis of the lungs is common. Lumps may also form near the heart or other organs, and the condition can affect the nervous system, joints, skin, and eyes.

A word from our specialist
”Gout is a painful inflammatory condition that can cause sudden, severe joint pain, swelling and reduced mobility. Medical cannabis may be considered as a complementary treatment to help alleviate gout-related symptoms, particularly where pain, inflammation, muscle tension or disrupted sleep persist.
Cannabinoids are thought to have anti-inflammatory and pain-modulating properties, but treatment should always be prescribed and monitored by a specialist to ensure it is appropriate and tailored to the patient’s needs.”
