It’s estimated that about 1 in 10 women live with endometriosis and the extremely painful symptoms that come along with this horrible condition. Depending on the severity, endometriosis can be life-changing and comes with unbearable chronic pain.

Alexandrea has sought multiple treatments for her condition that have ranged from natural therapies to surgical intervention. In 2017 she had a laparoscopy -a relatively safe surgery where a camera is inserted into the pelvis via a small cut near her navel. At this time, the specialist decided a second incision was needed to assess the extensive scar tissue that had developed in her abdominal. Stage IV Endometriosis was confirmed. The average diagnosis takes between 7 to 10 years.
Today, a number of studies and surveys have shown that both CBD and THC are beneficial for endometriosis and the symptoms that tend to go hand in hand with the condition. A Spanish study looked at endometriosis in mice. The study found that not only did THC have analgesic and antispasmodic (reduces muscle spasm) properties but it also inhibited the development of endometrial cysts.
Most recently Alexandrea has had considerable success with the therapeutic benefits of CBD/CBG oil and wanted to relay her experience.

We all know all about CBD but what do we know about CBG? Cannabigerol is derived from young cannabis plants because they contain higher amounts of CBG than fully developed plants. Both CBD and THC start as CBGA, an acidic form of CBG.
In fully developed plants with high concentrations of THC and CBD, you’ll find very low concentrations of CBG. This happens because most of the CBG has already been converted to CBD and THC as the plant developed. This is why CBG is often referred to as ‘the mother of all cannabinoids’.
There are cannabinoid receptors throughout the body, mainly in the central and peripheral nervous system, the immune system and organs. Cannabinoid receptors have been found in the endometrium and gut linings. The two main cannabinoids that interact with these receptors are THC and CBD which target inflammation and chronic pain. Cannabis is known to have anti-inflammatory properties, in fact -even Queen Victoria used cannabis for heavy painful periods.
Alexandrea believes that to get the most benefits from cannabis you should be using a broad-spectrum oil. When cannabinoids are used together, they can increase the effectiveness of each other by a phenomenon called the entourage effect. Currently the only broad-spectrum CBD/CBG oil on the market are the ufeelu Calm Drops.
CBG is processed by the body's endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system is made up of molecules and receptors in our bodies that are responsible for keeping our bodies in an optimal state regardless of what's going on in our external environment. CBG works by binding to both receptors where it’s thought to strengthen the function of anandamide, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in enhancing pleasure and motivation, regulating appetite and sleep, and alleviating pain. Unlike THC, CBG has no psychotropic effects, so it will not give you a high.
The way CBG interacts with our endocannabinoid system is different from CBD. CBG binds directly to both CB1 and CB2 receptors and might be more efficient at delivering its benefits into our system. In our bodies, CBG imitates endocannabinoids, the natural compounds our body makes.
Like CBD, CBG has been used to combat pain without having the intoxicating effect of cannabinoids like THC. Research shows that CBG can also have therapeutic effects. However, human studies on this are sparse and more research needs to be done in this area.
Let’s break it down - CBG vs CBD
Let’s break it down - CBG vs CBD
CBG is often compared to CBD because it shares many similarities and they both act on the endocannabinoid system.
Additionally, both CBG & CBD are non-psychoactive which means they will not alter the state of your mind like THC does. They can however reduce the psychotropic effect of THC.
