CannaBasics: Inducing Appetite With THCA

Published

on

[dropcap class=”kp-dropcap”]A[/dropcap] side effect of many medical conditions is loss of appetite. It’s hard to force oneself to eat when your body doesn’t crave or want any sustenance, and many people deal with it who experience conditions such as dementia, hepatitis, kidney failure, and the effects of chemotherapy—the list goes on. Fortunately, certain strains of cannabis can help bring back a person’s appetite. In fact, it can be a potentially life-saving change in lifestyle that allows consumers to get their bodies back on track. How? By embracing strains that are high in THCA.

THCA, which stands for tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is a non-psychoactive cannabis compound that has not been decarboxylated. Although more research is needed to learn more about THCA, what we do know so far is that it has been found to have anti-emitic properties that assist in the treatment of nausea as well as appetite loss.

If you’re looking for a few cannabis products that can help induce appetite, these are some of the best out there:

Night Nurse THCA Crystals and Terp Sauce

Some of the best THCA products come from heavy indica strains, and Night Nurse is one that’s highly rated. Offered both in crystalline form as well as a terp sauce, both of which bring on quick relaxation and an increase in appetite stimulation.

Sour Tangie THCA Powder

Powders can be extremely useful as well, and this version of Sour Tangie is said to be used frequently with cancer patients, and can also help treat chronic pain, inflammation, tremors and insomnia.

Mary’s Medicinals THCA Transdermal Patch

Patches have also been gaining popularity over the past few years, such as this one which is infused specifically with THCA. It’s non-drowsy, which allows consumers to still accomplish daily tasks such as driving, socializing and working while receiving the benefits of the compound.

Banana OG

This strain is one of a handful of indicas that contain a high percentage of THCA. Not only can it help boost appetite in patients, but it is also potent enough to offer relief for anorexia, anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia, muscle pain and PMS.

Other Ways to Incorporate THCA

Many consumers even take their high-THCA strains and use them in their daily routine. This includes everything from adding THCA to salads or infusing them in dressings, using them as a tea and also blending them into smoothies.
