At CBD American Shaman, we believe in the power of nature to bring balance, relief, and restoration to everyday life. While CBD has become a household name for its calming and non-psychoactive properties, many are just beginning to explore its well-known cannabinoid counterpart—THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).
Although often associated with its euphoric effects, THC offers a wide range of wellness benefits that are gaining recognition across the medical and holistic communities. Let’s take a closer look at how THC can support mind and body wellness—when used responsibly and intentionally.
What Is THC?
THC is one of over 100 cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Unlike CBD, THC interacts more directly with CB1 receptors in the brain, which can create a sense of euphoria or “high.” But beyond that experience, this unique compound is being studied—and praised—for its potential therapeutic benefits.
1. Natural Pain Relief
One of the most well-documented uses of THC is for managing chronic pain. It works by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate sensations of pain and inflammation. Many individuals living with arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraines, or neuropathic discomfort report significant relief from THC-infused products.
2. Sleep Support
If falling asleep or staying asleep is a challenge, THC may help. Low to moderate doses of THC have been shown to reduce sleep latency (how long it takes to fall asleep) and may help you stay asleep longer by limiting REM cycles, which can be beneficial for people dealing with PTSD or nightmares.
3. Appetite Stimulation
Often referred to as “the munchies,” this classic THC effect has real medical value. THC can stimulate appetite, which is essential for patients undergoing chemotherapy, HIV treatment, or battling eating disorders. For those facing unintentional weight loss, THC can help support nutritional intake and energy levels.
4. Mood & Mental Health Support
THC may play a role in improving mood and promoting relaxation. For some, THC can provide relief from anxiety, stress, and even depression by boosting dopamine levels and encouraging a feeling of ease. Microdosing THC is becoming increasingly popular as a way to lift mood without heavy psychoactive effects.
5. Nausea & Vomiting Relief
THC has long been used to combat nausea—particularly for cancer patients going through chemotherapy. The FDA-approved medication Dronabinol (a synthetic THC) is already prescribed for this purpose. Natural, full-spectrum THC products may offer similar support for those in need.
THC + CBD: Better Together
We’re big believers in the entourage effect—the idea that cannabinoids like CBD and THC work better together than alone. Many of our full-spectrum products contain low, compliant levels of THC that complement the soothing properties of CBD for more balanced, effective results.
Whether you’re seeking deeper sleep, pain relief, or simply more peace of mind, THC may be the natural solution you’ve been looking for.
