Cannabis heeft in het Westen vaak een beladen imago, maar in de Indiase traditie van Ayurveda staat deze plant – bekend als Vijaya – al duizenden jaren bekend als een heilig kruid én krachtig medicijn. In de Atharvaveda (ca. 1500–1000 v. Chr.) wordt cannabis zelfs genoemd als één van de vijf heilige planten die vreugde brengen en angst wegnemen.
Pancreaskanker – beter bekend als alvleesklierkanker – is een van de meest gevreesde vormen van kanker. Het probleem? De ziekte wordt vaak pas laat ontdekt, verspreidt zich snel en reageert slecht op standaardbehandelingen zoals chemo of bestraling. Daardoor zijn de vooruitzichten voor patiënten helaas nog altijd beperkt.
Toch gloort er hoop uit een onverwachte hoek: de cannabisplant. Naast de bekende stoffen CBD en THC, bevat cannabis nog een schat aan minder bekende verbindingen die de medische wereld steeds meer in de belangstelling zet. Een van de meest intrigerende daarvan zijn cannflavinen – flavonoïden die alleen in cannabis voorkomen.
Soms stuit je op een extract dat meer is dan een product – het voelt als de pure ziel van de plant. De Cherry 15% Full Spectrum olie van CBD Spain is precies dat: een volledig plantextract dat alle werkzame stoffen in hun natuurlijke balans weet te behouden. Niet door kunstmatige toevoegingen, maar door een extractiemethode die respect toont voor wat de plant van nature te bieden heeft
When you think of the cannabis plant, CBD and THC often come to mind first. Yet, there's much more to this versatile plant. One of the most intriguing discoveries of recent years is cannflavins —a rare group of flavonoids found exclusively in cannabis and arousing the curiosity of scientists worldwide.
At CBD & Herb , we're committed to making the most up-to-date and reliable knowledge about medicinal cannabis accessible. This is especially true when it comes to research that seamlessly aligns with the vision of Peter Vermeul , founder of CBD Spain and a pioneer in full-spectrum CBD oil.
A groundbreaking study was recently published in the Journal of Pediatrics and Child Health : the first clinical trial of a whole-spectrum cannabis extract (NTI164) in children with Rett syndrome . This is an important step, not only for patients and their families, but also for the broader recognition of full-spectrum cannabis as a serious medical tool.
Wound healing is a process our bodies naturally perform, but it doesn't always happen automatically. Recovery can be particularly difficult with chronic wounds , burns, or complex injuries. Traditional treatments aren't always effective, often have side effects, or are insufficient.
But what if nature offers us a powerful tool? A growing body of research—and practical experience—shows that cannabinoids from cannabis extracts could play a promising role in accelerating and improving the wound healing process.
When we talk about cannabis, the focus almost always goes to the flower . After all, that's where the well-known cannabinoids like CBD and THC are concentrated. But what if the true power of the plant was right there in front of us all along – in the leaves ?
According to research by Peter Vermeul , founder of CBD Spain and pioneer in the development of Full-Spectrum CBD oil, cannabis leaves contain an impressive arsenal of compounds that we've ignored for far too long. One group stands out in particular: stilbenes .

Why two unknown cannabinoids could change the future of natural hair restoration
Hair loss. For some, it's a matter of age, for others, genetics. But for almost everyone, it's something you'd rather not have to deal with.
Fortunately, research is being conducted worldwide into new solutions—and sometimes they come from unexpected places. Very unexpected.
Peter Vermeul , founder of CBD Spain and expert in whole plant extracts, discovered that two lesser-known cannabinoids – CBDV (cannabidivarin) and CBDVa (cannabidivaric acid) – could be the forgotten stars of hair restoration.
We all know the power of cannabinoids like CBDa and THCa . But did you know there's another natural compound in cannabis that's just as special? Meet β-sitosterol – a plant sterol with surprisingly powerful health benefits.
At CBD & Herb, we work with pure, full-spectrum extracts from CBD Spain , developed by Peter Vermeul , a pioneer in cannabis science and founder of CBD Spain. His research consistently reveals new layers of the cannabis plant's complexity. And this time, it's β-sitosterol that's in the spotlight.
How a diagnosis with a bleak outlook transformed into a remarkable recovery — thanks to nature and scientific insight
Imagine this: you're sitting across from your doctor, and you hear the words no one ever wants to hear: "Gleason score 9. PSA above 80. Metastatic prostate cancer."
For Johan, a man diagnosed in September 2023, it marked the beginning of a medical journey that, according to the guidelines, offered little hope. The prognosis? Limited survival. The treatment? Chemotherapy, hormonal therapy (ADT), and radiation. The side effects? Severe. And lifelong.
But Johan chose a different path. One based on trust in his body, natural synergy, and scientifically proven phytotherapy. Under the guidance of Peter Vermeul , founder of CBD Spain and expert in cannabinoid science, he embarked on a journey that lowered his PSA levels faster than anyone had ever thought possible.
