Irritable Bowel Syndrome

The placebo effect happens when an expectation of benefit in a treatment creates the same response as an actual treatment. How does the power of thought influence the endocannabinoid system and our health?

A pioneer neurologist, Dr. Ethan Russo, examines recent scientific data on migraine, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel, and other treatment-resistant syndromes that may respond to cannabinoid therapies.

Our video series Cannabis Conversations interviews Dr. Ethan Russo on clinical endocannabinoid deficiency and ways to target the endocannabinoid system for therapeutic benefit.

There are many ways to influence cannabinoid receptor signaling and enhance endocannabinoid tone—acupuncture, diet, osteopathic adjustments, etc.—as discussed in this peer-reviewed science article.
