The name says it all. My combo of anxiety, insomnia, chronic migraine, chronic widespread pain (Ehlers-Danlos hypermobility type - multisystemic), nausea, lack of appetite, and PTSD were all handled in equally positive ways. It's the perfect combo for me, and a heavy hitter. I just wish I could count on a regular supply! Caveat: This stuff is incredibly smelly. In ziploc bags inside a sealed Mason jar, I could still smell it. I had very intolerant housemates, so it meant outdoor storage/use.

Works well for anxiety, decently for sleep, helps me eat (sometimes I have a hard time with appetite), but the relief from migraine and chronic widespread pain (including joints) were fair at best. Also not as effective on menstrual cramps as ibuprofen. 85% of the time I use cannabis is for these reasons. I think I really need to stick to indica strains with a heavier percentage of THC.

I received this as a gift between two shoulder surgeries, and it really is magic. In addition to post-surgical pain, inflammation, and recovery, I have fibromyalgia, hypermobile joint disorder (EDS), and I've even rubbed it on my forehead during migraines. It smells really nice, faintly citrus/lavender. This stuff is potent, and a little goes a long way. Through all of that, I still have some left after six months of regular use. I'd slather it everywhere if it were practical - but there are no larger sizes and it's not always easy to find! I'd like to compare it to the Papa & Barkley Releaf Balm sometime, but I know this is a product I'll keep coming back to.
