The Benefits of the Plant
Dear people
As we celebrate National Cannabis Month (July) (also known as Marijuana, Ganja, Grass, Santa, etc.), it creates a wonderful moment to highlight the incredible versatility and benefits of this plant. Its potential to heal people and the planet is truly unrivalled.
Firstly, let's distinguish between two primary types of cannabis: for medicinal use and for industrial use, better known as industrial hemp. Although they come from the same species of plant, they serve very different purposes.
Cannabis for medicinal use is grown mainly for its flowers, which contain high concentrations of cannabinoids such as CBD, THC, CBN etc. as well as terpenes and flavonoids. I'll talk about these in another article. These compounds are famous for their therapeutic properties, offering relief for pain, anxiety, inflammation and a host of other conditions such as chronic pain, AIDS, arthritis, anorexia, Alzheimer's, autism, depression, diabetes, among many others. XamAM enjoys the privilege of delving into the healing power of these flowers to create natural plant-based oils and foods that support well-being and health.
As a medicinal oil, we have the privilege of using cannabis (some places call it hemp for medicinal use) to treat countless illnesses without leaving sequelae. Of course, with important monitoring and care when using the golden drops.
On the other hand, industrial hemp (whose composition has a minimum percentage of THC) is grown for its resistant stalks and fibres. This type of hemp is an environmental powerhouse, with applications ranging from sustainable building materials to biodegradable plastics and textiles. The stalks can be processed into hemp concrete, a strong and environmentally friendly building material, or woven into durable fabrics that reduce our dependence on synthetic fibres. In addition, hemp can be used to produce biofuels, offering a renewable alternative to fossil fuels.
The benefits of industrial hemp go beyond its immediate applications. As a crop, hemp grows quickly, requires minimal pesticides and enriches the soil, making it an excellent choice for sustainable agricultural practices. Its ability to sequester carbon from the atmosphere further enhances its role in combating climate change.
By supporting the growth and use of industrial hemp, we are not only embracing a natural solution to health and well-being, but also advocating a greener, more sustainable future for our planet.
As you can see, this plant is a blessing from nature The Terra Mirim Foundation (FTM) Brazil supports this project called Irmãs da Santinha (linked to the Santinha Shamanic Association).
And now there's great news: anyone who is a member of Terra Mirim Deutschland or takes part in the Heart of the Tribe Campaign in Brazil will get a 5 per cent discount on every cannabis product, on cannabis courses and events and at the XamAM Brazil SCHOOL (including accommodation).Peace and good.
NOTE: XamAM will talk about every detail of the plant in upcoming texts. Wait for it! Spread the word! Spread the good news!
