THE WORLD OF CANNABINOIDS AND TERPENES Authored by Dr. Pepper Hernandez ND, Ph.D., CTC, CNHP, NHC Dual Board Certified and Award-Winning Holistic Health Practitioner
A Holistic Exploration of the Circulatory System using Cannabinoids & Terpenes The circulatory system which is a vital network of blood vessels, the heart, and blood, plays a central role in maintaining overall health. In this holistic exploration, we dive into the intricacies of the circulatory system and examine how cannabinoids, terpenes, specific cannabis cultivars, as well as herbs, vitamins, and minerals, may contribute to its well-being from my holistic health practitioner's perspective. The circulatory system, or cardiovascular system, is responsible for the transportation of oxygen, nutrients, and hormones throughout the body while eliminating waste products. Comprising the heart, blood vessels, and blood, is essential for maintaining homeostasis and sustaining various bodily functions.
Cannabinoids, Terpenes, and Natural Compounds: A Holistic Approach Cannabinoids: CBD (Cannabidiol): Renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties, whole plant CBD may contribute to maintaining healthy blood vessel function and reducing inflammation in the circulatory system. CBG (Cannabigerol): With potential vasodilator effects, cultivars high in CBG may support blood flow by relaxing blood vessels, and promoting cardiovascular health. THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin): Preliminary studies suggest THCV cultivars may have vasodilatory effects, potentially influencing blood vessel function. 21
