Corticosteroids (Prednisone, Hydrocortisone, and Triamcinolone) However, natural remedies for arthritis, along with lifestyle changes, can cause remarkable results.

🌿 Cannabis for Chronic Pain, Sinusitis, and Beyond Emerging research highlights the powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of cannabinoids, making them a promising option for managing chronic conditions like sinusitis. While more studies are needed specifically on sinusitis, the potential benefits are clear. Few physicians are aware that cannabinoids also possess antibiotic properties, showing effectiveness against drug-resistant bacteria like MRSA and the ability to disrupt biofilm formation. This opens up exciting possibilities for cannabis in treating resistant infections. To learn more, explore this collection of papers supporting the role of cannabis in chronic pain, sinusitis, and more—including evidence from a JAMA paper on cannabis relieving sinonasal symptoms: Link to CED library folder: https://lnkd.in/eER5_Q9z For a deep dive into leveraging nebulizer technology and cannabis for managing sinusitis, check out this article: Discover the Benefits of Cannabis: https://lnkd.in/etzrU6V7 Tap your #ENTdoctor or #otolaryngology team to explore these findings further. Could cannabis for sinusitis be an #AlternativeToAntibiotics? 🌸 (Spoiler alert: I have dozens of patients who - under physician guided care- have avoided antibiotics using cannabinoids delivered by nebulized face mask!) #CannabisScience #SinusRelief #ChronicSinusitis #AntibioticResistance #MedicalCannabis

Arrhythmia: Causes and Holistic Treatment Arrhythmia, or an uneven heartbeat, is a medical condition related to the speed or rhythm of a heart contracture. Your heart may contract too fast, too slow, or with an inadequate rhythm.

“Kratom trial at Yale University. Focus: Plant-based Medicine and Pharmacology: Kratom and Pain Tolerance: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Study” “No adverse effects were observed in the study. All participants completed all study tasks and procedures, and none reported any discomfort or unusual symptoms. None of the participants reported withdrawal symptoms either using spontaneous self-report or had significant withdrawal symptoms based on the COWS scores. All urine toxicology screens conducted at the end of the testing day were negative.” Methods: Kratom effects on pain tolerance were assessed in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study. During a 1-day inpatient stay, participants received a randomized sequence of kratom and placebo decoctions matched for taste and appearance. Pain tolerance was measured objectively in a cold pressor task (CPT) as time (seconds) between the pain onset and the hand withdrawal from the ice bath. Health status, vital signs, objective, and subjective indicators of withdrawal symptoms, self-reported data on lifetime kratom use patterns, and assessments of blinding procedures were also evaluated. Conclusions: Kratom decoction demonstrated a substantial and statistically significant increase in pain tolerance. Further rigorous research on kratom pain-relieving properties and a safety profile is needed.

Kratom doesn’t cause cognitive impairment, as kratom users showed similar performance to control participants in motor, memory, attention, and executive function, even with higher intake of over three glasses daily. ”Overall, the performance of kratom users compared to control participants, and the performance of high (>3 glasses per day) as well as low (≤3 glasses per day) kratom using groups, were comparable on all neuropsychological domains. Higher intake of kratom juice (>3 glasses daily) did not appear to impair motor, memory, attention or executive function of regular kratom users.” https://lnkd.in/guMmp8SJ
