THE
NATUROPATHIC HEALER:
DR. KIMANI
A naturopathic doctor, certified yoga instructor, and Stanford graduate, Dr. Kimani Borland focuses on women’s health through a whole self approach - body, spirit, mind, emotions, and environment. She offers in-person consultations, as well as telemedicine health chats, and yoga classes broadcasted around the globe. Here’s what Kimani told us about cannabis and CBD for wellness… HOW WERE YOU INTRODUCED TO CANNABIS AS MEDICINE? Kimani: So, because of how we were raised - with mommy and daddy as Rastafarians - that’s what we lived and that’s how we are. It was just normal. You have some mint tea and you have some ganja on the table - it was just normal. I was aware that it wasn’t normal outside of the household. We had issues around that. It was very commonplace for discrimination [against Rastafarians] to be out in the open. So anyway, I was introduced to cannabis as what it is - as a sacrament, recreation, used as a medicine, all of the ways that you could use it. It just wasn’t a big deal. Then going to school and learning about herbal medicines in the ways that I did, cannabis was just another one of those herbs. 16
