About this eBook

The digestive system is the set of organs in charge of the digestion process to obtain energy. It consists of a hollow tube open at its ends (mouth and anus) called the digestive tract. It includes the oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. It also has accessory structures such as teeth, tongue, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, biliary system, and peritoneum.

This fabulous system allows us to enjoy food and obtain nutrients for the correct functioning of the organism. Unfortunately, for millions of people suffering from digestive disorders, enjoying the pleasure of eating is not as simple as it seems. Intestinal illnesses are becoming increasingly common. Today it is estimated that digestive disorders affect between 60 and 70 million people in the United States alone, with equally alarming statistics in Europe.

Can cannabis contribute to improving intestinal health?

Research has highlighted the potential of cannabidiol (CBD), a cannabis derivative, as an immune system regulator. Scientists have shown that it reduces intestinal damage during periods of acute and chronic inflammation. It acts through multiple mechanisms, including specifically the immune system and the enteric nervous system.

The goal of anti-inflammatory medicine, as is the case with cannabis, is to return the patient to a state of wellness, so the question arises:

Can diet alleviate inflammatory diseases? Scientists have proved the importance of an anti-inflammatory diet to prevent and treat numerous diseases, including cancer. The anti-inflammatory diet helps the body to maintain a good state of health.
