Deciding to use cannabis products to treat or manage your disease is just the first step. After making this decision, you will need to determine which type of cannabis products suit your needs. Many people either turn to products that are high in CBD or those that are high in THC. However, there is a third cannabinoid that is gaining more recognition recently, and it can actually be a smart choice for certain conditions. It's called CBD, or cannabigerol. There are certain strains of cannabis flower that are particularly high in CBG known as CBG flower. But under what circumstances should CBG flower be your go-to? Take a look.

1. You Have Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome can be really tough to live with. Between nausea, gas, diarrhea, and bloating, you may feel both embarrassed and uncomfortable. While doctors and researchers do not yet fully understand IBS, they do know that it is associated with inflammation, and when you can get the inflammation in the intestines down, the symptoms tend to subside. CBG is often really good at alleviating inflammation, including intestinal inflammation, which makes it a good choice for IBS patients. Many patients like to use a small amount of CBG flower daily to keep symptoms under control, and then use more CBG flower when they're having a flare-up.

2. You're Looking to Prevent or Treat Cancer

CBG flower is also thought to have anti-cancer properties. It's important to note that you should not use this treatment as a replacement for any medications or treatments your doctor has recommended for your cancer. However, it can be a good idea to use CBG flower as a supplemental, accessory cancer treatment. It's also a good choice if you are looking to reduce your risk of cancer; using a small amount each day can help.

3. You Need Appetite Stimulation

CBG also seems to be pretty effective at stimulating the appetite. This is another reason to take it as a cancer patient; it can counteract some of the side effects of chemotherapy, which tends to reduce the appetite. CBG is also a good choice for anyone who has lost their appetite due to an eating disorder, changes in taste, or another ailment. It can be a good aid for anyone seeking to gain weight.

CBG flower is becoming more popular for good reason. Strains that are high in this cannabinoid have some excellent therapeutic qualities.
