Discover Cannabis that Can Help With Asthma

About 1 in 13 Americans have Asthma or similar breathing conditions, which equates to around 25 million people according to the Asthma Foundation. In short, Asthma causes the patient’s airways to swell, resulting in narrowing of breathing pathways from the nose and mouth to the lungs. Trouble breathing, wheezing and tightness in the chest often result.

While smoking and vaping cannabis is not recommended for patients with this condition, studies show ingesting the plant in other ways, such as edibles, may have other benefits for asthmatic patients. This is because cannabis has a bronchodilator effect on the airways and might have an anti-inflammatory effect on asthmatic patients. This means cannabis can help to expand the lungs and improve deeper breathing.
