Harnessing the power of the Vijaya leaf along with other medicinal herbs
Bombay Hemp Company (BOHECO) expands its prescription product range by launching BLOSSOM, a proprietary ayurvedic medicine for symptomatic relief from PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome) & Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD).
PCOS is a condition in which the ovaries produce abnormal amounts of male hormones. Recent studies reveal that about 16 percent of women between the ages of 20 and 29 years suffer from the condition in India, which is aggravated by increased incidents of unhealthy eating patterns and sedentary lifestyles .
BLOSSOM channels the power of powdered Vijaya leaf (Cannabis Sativa Linn.), along with a unique blend of Ashoka, Lodhra, Ajwain, Shunthi, Chandrasur and Dashmool to offer symptomatic relief through natural healing for PCOS & PCOD, in addition to restoring menstrual health by regularising the menstrual cycle, easing menstrual flow and relieving period cramps.
Rooted in the Ayurvedic philosophy, this prescription-based medicine includes cannabis in its natural form with the full spectrum of (plant-based) Phyto-cannabinoids, that allows for sustained healing and well-being. Cannabinoids in the Vijaya leaf help reduce cytokine and chemokine levels in the body, which suppress inflammatory responses, thereby alleviating period pain and irregularity. Lodhra, known to have anti-androgenic effects, with phytoestrogenic-rich Ashoka, assists in the management of PCOS & PCOD hormonal complications and helps improve fertility. The addition of Dashmool (a blend of 10 roots), considered an analgesic, aids in relieving menstrual cramps and the pain associated with them.
