Modern Day Uses
There are many people who grow cannabis
and use the root to relieve many ailments and
disorders.
It is easy to make home-brewed cannabis root
tea, all you have to do is place dried,
powdered hemp root in a slow cooker for 12
hours. Anise, cinnamon, and other aromatic
herbs can also be added if you aren’t a huge
fan of the taste of pure hemp.
Once it is done, strain the tea and drink. Cannabis root used in salves, oils, and balms
can also be used to treat herpes, blisters,
pimples, acne, arthritis, haemorrhoids,
dysmenorrhea, asthma, sore throat, colds,
headaches, tension pains, migraines, and
chronic inflammation of the larynx.
Cannabis root is also used in many tinctures
and liniments which are applied directly to the
skin.
You can use a dry, powdered form of the root
as a poultice to soothe skin disorders such as
dermatitis, cuts, and burns. For tea, once dried, break down the roots into
chunks and use a mortar and pestle or blender
to grind them finely into a powder.
Add the ground roots to a slow cooker, add
some oil or fat, and let simmer for 12 hours.
If you are growing your own cannabis, be sure
not to throw out the roots! Take advantage of
the amazing plant and dry the roots for
medicinal use.
