Best Strains of Cannabis for Treating Migraines

Migraines are no fun for anyone, especially if you are someone who deals with them chronically. Chronic migraines can occur monthly or weekly, and for the unluckiest of individuals, daily. Migraines are very hard to deal with because there are not a ton of options for treating them. 


Most people who get migraines regularly will attest to the fac that over the counter medications will barely touch the pain. People like to try a plethora of home remedies in order to stop migraines, but treating a migraine is not an exact silence. Plus, the things that can trigger migraine are different for everyone. Some people get them from certain smells or foods, while other people can get them from certain lighting, whether, or hormonal factors. 



Personally, I get migraines when I do not eat or drink enough, combined with a lack of sleep or stress. But again, each person has a different set of triggers. There is not a lot known about what actually happens in the brain to trigger a migraine, but we do know that they are extremely painful and hard to get rid of. When I was younger, I often found the best way to get rid of migraines was to simply lay in a dark room and try to take a nap. 


However, as I have begun to use medical marijuana more often, I feel that cannabis is actually the most effective way to get rid of migraines. Have you ever used marijuana to get rid of pain? Tons of people rely on cannabis for dealing with chronic pain and diseases. It honestly makes sense when you think about it. 



Cannabis is a naturally beneficial plant when it comes to lowering inflammation and treating pain at the source, so taking it for migraines does not sound that far fetched at all. Have you been struggling with migraines recently? Migraines can make it hard to get through the day and just perform simple tasks at work or around the house. Maybe it is time that you consider using marijuana to treat your migraines. Today, we are going to be talking about some of the best cannabis strains that you can use for dealing with your migraines.


So is there any scientific evidence that supports the use of marijuana for treating migraines? Well, there is not much, but there is some. It can be hard to come across scientific studies and peer reviewed research about cannabis, given that it was an illegal drug for so long. However, there have been studies done into the effectiveness of using cannabis to manage and prevent migraines that suggests it can be really useful. These studies were done in 201 and 2017 and show signs of adults experiencing less severe migraines and less migraines overall after using cannabis for an extended period of time.The great thing about using medical marijuana is that you do not have to be boxed into using one product or one strain. 



In fact, there are over 700 strains of cannabis available in a plethora of products - edibles, whole flower, tinctures, oils, topicals, and more. You can use any of these products for treating migraines. So what are the best marijuana strains to use? The first one that we are going to be talking about is called Pineapple Express. You may have heard of this strain due to the popular movie with the same title. This strain is absolutely amazing for getting rid of pain and discomfort, especially migraines. It has a strong THC content that can be great for relaxing and relieving those painful migraines.
