Laminitis is one of the most painful and life-threatening conditions a horse can experience. It's not just a problem with the hooves, but a sign that something is out of balance deep within the body.
In naturopathy we therefore look beyond the pain in the foot: we look for the underlying cause and support the animal's self-healing capacity.

Annette de Vogel, a naturopathic animal therapist with over 30 years of experience, has successfully treated countless horses with laminitis in her practice. With her background in Lecher antenna, CBDa oil, nutrition, homeopathy , and Chinese and Western herbs , she focuses on recovery from the ground up—the whole animal, not just the hoof.

When a cannabis plant transitions from growth to flowering, it seems like a natural process to the eye. But what actually happens is a remarkable interplay of biology, hormones, and cultivation techniques.
In his latest research , “What Makes Cannabis Bloom,” Peter Vermeul , founder of CBD Spain and leading expert in organic cannabis cultivation, delves into the depths of this process.

His insights show that cannabis is not just a plant — it is a living system that listens to signals from its environment as well as its own internal biochemistry.

Natural animal care is constantly evolving. While CBD oil was once associated exclusively with humans, recent research shows that our pets —from cats to horses, from dogs to even macaws—can also benefit from the powerful compounds found in the hemp plant.

At CBD & Herb, we work closely with Peter Vermeul , founder of CBD Spain and a pioneer in full-spectrum CBDa oil . From his own research practice in Spain, he has been studying the effects of raw, unheated hemp extracts on animal welfare for years.
His latest paper sheds fascinating light on the therapeutic power of CBDa – the natural, acidic form of cannabidiol – and how full-spectrum cannabinoids work together in the bodies of animals.

One of the most frequently asked questions about using CBD products is, “What is the right dose for me?”
The answer isn't the same for everyone. It depends on your personal constitution, the purpose of use, and the quality of the oil. Ayurveda also has an ancient and refined method of applying oil: the Petochi method – a natural application via the navel (nabhi) , which has a deeply balancing effect on the body.

The world of cannabis science continues to evolve rapidly. While CBD oil was once primarily known for its relaxing and anti-inflammatory properties, it now appears that the plant has a much deeper impact on fundamental processes in our bodies.
In his latest research paper “Ferroptosis and Cannabinoids: Mechanisms, Synergy and Applications,” Peter Vermeul , founder of CBD Spain and creator of the CBD oil we work with at CBD & Herb , shares groundbreaking insights into how cannabis works at the cellular level.

The result? A fascinating story about ferroptosis , cannabinoids , and the power of the entourage effect —a new perspective on how nature and science reinforce each other.

Cannabis often has a loaded image in the West, but in the Indian Ayurvedic tradition, this plant—known as Vijaya —has been recognized for thousands of years as a sacred herb and powerful medicine. In the Atharvaveda (c. 1500–1000 BCE), cannabis is even listed as one of the five sacred plants that bring joy and dispel fear.

Pancreatic cancer – better known as pancreatic cancer – is one of the most feared forms of cancer. The problem? The disease is often diagnosed late, spreads rapidly, and responds poorly to standard treatments like chemotherapy or radiation. As a result, the prognosis for patients remains unfortunately limited.

Yet, hope is emerging from an unexpected source: the cannabis plant . Besides the well-known substances CBD and THC , cannabis contains a wealth of lesser-known compounds that are attracting increasing attention from the medical community. One of the most intriguing of these is cannflavins – flavonoids found only in cannabis.

Sometimes you stumble upon an extract that's more than just a product—it feels like the pure soul of the plant. CBD Spain's Cherry 15% Full Spectrum oil is just that: a whole plant extract that preserves all its active ingredients in their natural balance. Not through artificial additives, but through an extraction method that respects what the plant naturally has to offer.

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 .
