Feed your gut what it needs with this weed-infused kombucha recipe.
We know by now that cannabis is a healer.
This is especially true for medical marijuana patients who use the plant to combat chronic pain and inflammation.
In recent years, Western society has started considering alternatives to pharmaceuticals and prescription drugs. We often look to cannabis to help treat and reduce pain, but does cannabis help your gut microbiome and aid in digestion?
Weed may help relieve nausea and inflammation in your digestive tract, but maybe your gut is asking for a little more help.
One of the most popular and beneficial beverages to help reset your digestive system is kombucha, a fermented drink that’s loaded with benefits.
Kombucha improves digestion because it contains essential probiotics that are great for your gut. It’s a fermented beverage that’s also rich in vitamin B and antioxidants.
It’s a great coffee replacer since most kombucha beverages have caffeine. It’s also a fantastic way to start your day, not just because of the caffeine but because it awakens the digestive tract with a probiotic cleanse.
These beverages are often carbonated and flavored with fruit extract. Just watch out when you’re buying it from the grocery store, as some brands are loaded with sugar.
Kombucha contains SCOBY, an acronym for a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast. Sounds pretty odd, and it looks even weirder. But the slimy and thick SCOBY is essential to make this healthy and gut-friendly beverage.
Below, you’ll find our recipe for weed-infused kombucha. It’s pretty time-consuming, but it’s so rewarding, especially once the effects kick in.
