Understanding Indian Hemp: Uses, Constituents, and Medicinal Benefits

Indian Hemp, also known as Cannabis sativa, is an annual herbaceous plant with significant historical and medicinal uses. Originating in West and Central Asia, it features leaves with small leaflets and produces fruits that vary in color. The plant's parts, primarily the flowering tops, yield resin, which contains essential compounds like Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Notably utilized in folk remedies for its analgesic, antitussive, and sedative properties, THC is also leveraged in medical contexts to combat nausea and stimulate appetite in cancer and AIDS patients.
