The depth of healing in these roots is amazing!
Cannabis Roots.
Quite possibly the most underutilized portion of the plant! we found out about this amazing medicine in a strange way. Costa Rica is listed by National Geographic as one of the areas on the planet where more often than not, people would live to be over 100. My gardeners grandma happens to be one of those people. She is somewhere over the age of 100! Astonishing, she shared with us the original medicinal attribute of this plant with us in Spanish. She drinks it everyday in a tea in very small amounts. She will boil the cut up root at simmer. Than store it in a container in a cool environment and would drink around 20ml a day.
This is a very powerful medicine, large doses can cause liver failure.
The Medical Talk
Friedelin is thought to have hepatoprotective (liver-protecting) and antioxidant effects, epifriedelanol has been demonstrated to have anti-tumour effects, and several pentacyclic triterpene ketones are thought to cause apoptosis in cancer cells, as well as reducing inflammation, pain and bacterial infection and possessing diuretic and immunomodulatory properties.The alkaloids piperidine and pyrrolidine have both been found in the roots, as well as in the stems, seeds, pollen and leaves; these alkaloids can be highly toxic in high doses, but in smaller doses have been found to have various medical benefits. Piperidine is used as a chemical ‘building block’ for various pharmaceuticals, particularly those involved in psychiatric medicine such as paroxetine and haloperidol; pyrrolidine is also used as a building block for a class of stimulant drugs known as racetams. And many other amazing health benefits!!
Be careful not to ingest lots. It can be toxic. Be sure to consult your doctor or talk with the plants and ask them!!

Certainly has a great impact on health if used in the correct amounts. Alot of plants are like that. I know of many that can kill you easily, but are used as medicines in very small dosages.

Water, if you drink to much, it will kill you, lack of sodium is really what does it. But to much of anything is almost always bad news.

True that. Just happened to me with papaya seeds (although that didn't take years, just a few weeks). They are growing fast! Papayas coming soon I hope.
