Why consider plant based medicines?

A growing number of Australians are turning to plant based medicines to complement conventional medicines.

Studies report that plant based medicines provides possible benefits for several conditions and is used to treat many symptoms, including pain, nausea, anxiety, and insomnia. 

In addition, by helping to maintain homeostasis within the body, the Endocannabinoid System (ESC) and cannabis play a critical role in regulating immune response, mood, appetite, metabolism and memory.
