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 .

When you think of CBD oil, you probably think of drops that can provide some relaxation or relief. But Carlotta 10% oil from CBD Spain is on a whole other level. This isn't your standard CBD oil—it's a whole plant extract in its acid-dominant state , which preserves every therapeutic potential the cannabis plant has to offer.

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.

Some animals touch you extraordinarily. Massimo was one of them. This young male cat, not even a year old, was brought to my practice in a very serious condition. He had been suffering from persistent, severe diarrhea for over eight months, was extremely thin, exhausted, had a matted coat, and an inflamed nose. His energy was gone. He no longer played, and he simply defecated constantly.

His owner had tried everything: modified diet, regular medication, tests, X-rays, giardia and blood tests… everything came back with no clear cause. But Massimo only got sicker.

Can we fight cancer better with the power of nature?
According to researcher and cannabis expert Peter Vermeul , founder of CBD Spain , the answer is increasingly yes — provided you use the right plant extracts .

In his latest scientific publication, Vermeul investigates an intriguing question: can cannabinoids, especially the acidic forms such as CBDa and THCa , not only mitigate the side effects of chemotherapy, but also enhance its effects?

The answer: a resounding yes — and the science backs it up.

In the rapidly expanding world of cannabinoids, terms like CBD, THC, the endocannabinoid system, and the entourage effect are often bandied about. But behind these familiar concepts lies a scientific detail that almost no one discusses—and yet it could change everything about how cannabinoids work in our bodies: chirality , or the mirror image of molecules.

In my naturopathic practice, I'm reminded daily of the animal body's power to heal—provided it's properly supported. One of the most impressive experiences of the past year is the story of Sarah , a beautiful four-year-old Norwegian Forest Cat .

Sarah's vet diagnosed a tumor under her tongue . It was a very concerning spot, difficult to treat, and usually meant an intensive medical process. But her owner, in consultation with me, decided to support her naturally, aiming to activate her self-healing capacity without putting any additional strain on her body.
