Let\u2019s have a quick look at PTSD and then have a look at which cannabis strains would be best for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>PTSD Briefly Explained<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that is developed following a traumatic event and can cause difficulty in adjusting to and coping with life after the event. When an individual is exposed to, learns of, or is indirectly or directly threatened by a traumatic event, the body releases stress-related hormones to boost energy in preparation for the fight or flight response. Over time it rewires brain anatomy and neurotransmitters into a hyper-responsive state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The traumatic shock can lead to the development of acute stress disorder, and if symptoms last for more than one month, the diagnosis becomes PTSD. Ongoing symptoms include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Persistently re-experiencing the traumatic event\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intrusive thoughts\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nightmares\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flashbacks\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dissociation (detachment from oneself or reality)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intense negative emotions (sadness, guilt)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physiological reaction to being exposed to the traumatic reminder\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Problems with sleep and concentration<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irritability<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased reactivity and startle response (hypervigilance)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoidance of traumatic triggers<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\nThese result in substantial life impact and disability and could lead to other health and social problems (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK559129\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">StatPearls<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people recover from traumatic events naturally, but when they do not, they get stuck in fight or flight mode. Chronic PTSD results in people who are not able to recover due to maladaptive coping. The long-term outcomes depend on how well the individual can cope with stress, avoid substance abuse, have social support, and stick to treatments. About 30% recover eventually, and 40% recover with treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Fortunately, cannabis can help those with PTSD by potentially reducing stress and many of the symptoms. In short, cannabis is able to help those with PTSD by binding to the body\u2019s endocannabinoid system receptors plus other mood-boosting receptors, which play a key role in maintaining harmony in the body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Cannabinoids and Terpenes for PTSD<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When deciding on what cannabis to purchase, it is important to seek out the correct cannabinoid profile in order to get the best for your money. PTSD patients should look for<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">full-spectrum products<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Purchasing the cannabis bud (the flower) will be optimal because it allows you to benefit from the terpenes and all the cannabinoids.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Full-spectrum means you can tap into the benefits of<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/what-does-new-cannabis-research-tell-us-about-the-entourage-effect\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the entourage effect.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When you purchase isolated or even broad-spectrum cannabis products, you lose out on certain cannabinoids and terpenes due to the extraction process involved in making the products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your cannabis chosen for consumption will need to contain at least tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/cbd\/\">cannabidiol (CBD)<\/a> in order to receive optimum relief. THC is intoxicating but is a vital component for pain management alongside CBD. If you do not want to be intoxicated by THC, look for strains that are low in THC and higher in CBD, but the strain should still contain both. Full-spectrum hemp tinctures may be recommended to people sensitive to THC and\/or smoking cannabis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In preclinical <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/npp2017162\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">studies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, CBD and THC have demonstrated abilities in modulating fear learning and fear extinguishing by enhancing a deficient endocannabinoid system in PTSD. CBD and THC could also assist PTSD management by targeting symptoms such as anxiety, depression, pain, appetite stimulation, and reducing inflammation. THC can boost your mood, and CBD can help with improving sleep, reducing nausea as well as alleviating stress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A long-term, 1-year clinical <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liebertpub.com\/doi\/10.1089\/can.2020.0056\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> published in 2022 prospectively followed 150 PTSD patients in two groups: dispensary cannabis consumers and non-cannabis-using patients (controls). The promising results showed that \u201ccannabis users reported a greater decrease in PTSD symptom severity over time compared to controls\u2026Participants who used cannabis were 2.57 times more likely to no longer meet DSM-5 criteria for PTSD at the end of the study observation period compared to participants who did not use cannabis.\u201d (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liebertpub.com\/doi\/10.1089\/can.2020.0056\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there aren\u2019t any randomized placebo-controlled trials published yet to date. So stay tuned for stronger and larger PTSD research in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How Terpenes Can Help With PTSD<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/terpenes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Terpenes are responsible for the scent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and contribute to the color of the cannabis plant, but they also each contribute their own benefits. So, when considering cannabis for your chronic pain, it is important to choose cannabis with terpenes in full-spectrum, natural flower, or \u201clive\u201d concentrates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, flower and full-spectrum products will be ideal since they contain all cannabis compounds, including all cannabinoids, terpenes, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/what-are-flavonoids-how-do-they-work-and-are-they-therapeutic\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">flavonoids<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and a host of organic good stuff. Cannabis flower is naturally full-spectrum, as is hemp but carries less than 0.3% THC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Terpenes have not been directly studied in the context of PTSD, but many have anti-anxiety effects that can synergize with cannabinoids. A caveat of anti-anxiety terpenes is that they are also sedating in large quantities because the same receptor causes both.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is a quick overview of the major terpenes and some of their effects that can benefit PTSD sufferers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Name<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Scent<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Benefits<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/terpenes\/myrcene\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Myrcene<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Musky and Earthy<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduces inflammation and<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/conditions\/chronic-pain\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chronic pain<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
