Sometimes the body’s defence system gets its wires crossed and starts attacking healthy tissues. This can lead to chronic inflammation, fatigue, and pain - all hallmarks of autoimmune diseases such as Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Ankylosing Spondylitis. Around 4 million people in the UK live with an autoimmune condition [1].
Symptoms
Painful, swollen, or stiff joints.
Deep fatigue that rest doesn’t fix.
Skin rashes or inflammation (common in lupus and psoriasis).
Stiffness in the spine or large joints.
If you are suffering from any of these symptoms, you may be suffering from arthritis. Please speak with your GP to find out more.
Treatment Options
Treatment aims to calm the overactive immune system using DMARDs or biologics. CBPMs can provide valuable complementary relief.
CBD has potent anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating effects that may reduce flare-ups.
THC helps manage pain, stiffness, and sleep issues. When used under clinical supervision, they can restore comfort, support recovery between flares, and improve overall quality of life.
