5 Cannabis Strains For Period Pains & Symptoms

That “time of the month” can be a nightmare for many people, especially if it’s accompanied by endometriosis or serious PMS symptoms. Period pains are no joke, so we gathered some cannabis strains to help you relieve some period pain and combat the various symptoms that come along with it.

Cannabis Strains for Period Pains

Pink Death Star

Pink Death Star is powerful, much like the cramps that make it feel like a tiny evil elf is smashing your uterus with a pickax.

The indica strain is known for packing a punch of flavor and spice, with terpenes that give a heavy profile of cardamom, fennel, ginger, and pepper. The strain carries an extraordinarily high amount of THC and may give the user a heavy, body-melting sedation. This strain may be best utilized for when you’re watching your favorite comfort show along with some earthy tea, dark chocolate, and a heating pad.

ArcticBlue

ArcticBlue is a 60/40 indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain. This sweet and fruity indica reminds users of fresh blueberries and may help tame anxiety and provide pain relief. This strain may potentially help relieve the intense pain that comes with hormonal headaches or migraines.  

The mycrene terpenes in ArticBlue are known for their sedative properties. It’s said to be good for deep relaxation, mellowing you out, and falling asleep. It may be used as a nightcap, so pair it with bedtime for possibly the ultimate sleep. Other users report that it’s a focused, creative high, and could be used to relax and focus on art or other expressive ventures.

Blue Buddha

Blue Buddha may be a great strain for those who experience additional anxiety or high emotions during PMS. This indica-dominant hybrid delivers heavy body effects and can “couch-lock” its users. This strain might give a more uplifting and cerebral high that quickly fades into a tranquilizing high. It’s said that this strain caters to users with ADD, ADHD, and chronic stress because it allows them to “forget their problems and mellow out.”

This blueberry-flavored strain may also help with chronic back pain, cramps, and migraines. Keep in mind that it’s not an especially social strain, so it might be best for chilling at home alone.

Emperor Cookie Dough

Emperor Cookie Dough has a reputation for being intense, and it was crowned as one of the strongest strains of 2016 by High Times. The glittering green buds taste and smell like cookie dough, likely as a result of its breeding, which crosses Emperor OG and Girl Scout Cookies.

People with PTSD report this strain as being great for getting stuff done, as well as socializing. The effect is potentially one that’s relaxing, uplifting, and euphoric. The strain has a reputation for increasing optimism, relieving stress, and easing tension. It may be a good fit for people who need to be around others, but who don’t feel very good. Keep in mind, this is one of the most intense strains around, so you may prefer to use it slowly throughout the day for the best effect.

The OX

The OX strain is known for delivering a strong indica high for users. The high CBD content makes it an ideal choice for medical users. It delivers a flavor profile that is best described as a mix of coffee and berries. The strain potentially leaves users clear-headed but feeling euphoric, relaxed, and happy.

The most abundant terpene in The OX is caryophyllene, which is a spicy, peppery terpene that may have anti-inflammatory benefits.

“Everything seems brighter and more beautiful. My entire body seems to melt but my head stays sharp. Do yourself a favor; smoke this strain, take a walk outside and enjoy life,” said one reviewer on Leafly.

This giggly strain may be good for mood elevation and pain relief. You might find it great in the morning paired with coffee and breakfast.

Have a Brighter, Happier Period with Weed

In conclusion, hang in there. Sometimes, period pains can be unbearable, but these strains may help you get through the day and tackle any situation you may be facing. Although your world may feel like it’s crashing down on you or the pain can be too much to handle, these weed strains may help combat these symptoms and help you enjoy your time on this earth a little bit more.
