Did you know medical cannabis has been used to treat pain as far back as 2900 B.C.?
Increasing studies have shown CBD can help reduce chronic pain by impacting endocanncabinoid receptors and interacting with neurotransmitters to reduce inflammation.

Chronic pain is defined as pain that lasts beyond normal healing time after an injury or illness - generally from 3 to 6 months. It's ongoing and can affect a person's ability to sleep, work, socialise and exercise.
Compounded topical creams are a great solution for those looking to help treat their chronic pain. By creating a formula tailored to your needs, these topical analgesic creams are easily applied, offer less drug interactions and work quickly as the bypass the digestive system.
With an increasing amount of patients visiting GP's to help treat chronic pain, perhaps it's time to discuss this solution with them instead!

It's been a stressful few years for the world and while some stress from time to time is normal, living with regular stress will cause drops in your body's dopamine and serotonin production.
If you're feeling a little strung out, it's recommended to take a break by meditating, having a chat with loved ones, or taking 20 minutes for some physical activity.

Sometimes appropriate medication isn't available and our furry-friends are prescribed compounded medicine. Much like compound medication for humans, our specially trained pharmacists will develop a formula and tweak the strength dosage, flavour and administration type to suit their needs!
Protect your pet and make sure they're getting the treatment they need.
If you're new to compounded medication the costs and pricing might cause some confusion.
Unlike purchasing standard off-the-shelf medicine, compounded products are tailor made specifically to your needs. With this process comes more factors that could equate to additional costs as pharmacies are creating custom orders, spending more time developing your personal formula as well as using high-quality ingredients.
To help you thwart some of these questions, we've launched a compounding calculator on our site!

The main reason? Lack of knowledge in accessing treatments and the cost of medication.
Our goal is to help you access the treatment you need, if you think medical cannabis is right for you, take our eligibility test here >> https://bit.ly/37GvVPr

New research has found large doses of cannabis, specifically THC, can improve symptoms related to: depression resistant to treatments, distress related to cancer and dependence on alcohol and ci******es.
Studying the effectiveness of THC, researchers found that 17-19% of patients experienced 'breakthroughs' for the better in their mental health!
While much future research and more findings is still required, these are still very positive findings.

Is h**p oil and CBD oil the same? No!
Unlike CBD oil that derives from the flowers, leaves and stalks of the h**p plant (ie. A Cannabis Sativa Plant), h**p oil/h**p seed oil is extracted from the seeds of the h**p plant.
As a result, h**p seed oil contains very low levels of CBD and THC, however it does contain nutrients such as omega-3, omega-6 and antioxidant content.

ePrescriptions are great for efficiency, reducing errors when it comes to prescribing and dispensing, as well as removing the need for handling/storing physical paper scripts.
Living in a COVID-19 world, ePrescriptions are also great for protecting community members and healthcare providers from exposure to infectious diseases.
If you've never been prescribed an ePrescription before, make sure to ask your GP/prescriber the next time you require a script!
