Use a Sativa Remedy for Uplifting Relief

May 29, 2022
Have you been looking for a solution for stress or easing aches and pains without making you feel drowsy? Try a sativa remedy.

What Is the Difference Between an Indica and Sativa Remedy?

Traditionally, cannabis strains were either 100% indica or 100% sativa. These landrace strains evolved over many years, adapting to the environment that surrounded them. This evolution resulted in plants with different flavors, effects, and physical characteristics.
For example, pure indica strains came from the Hindu-Kush region around Afghanistan and Pakistan. Indica plants like Afghani and Kush varieties tend to grow short and bushy with broad leaves and dense flowers. In general, indicas produce a relaxing body buzz that early yogis used for easing pain during long meditation sessions.
Sativa strains tend to grow in hotter climates and include Thai from Thailand, Durban Poison from South Africa, Acapulco Gold from Mexico, and Lamb’s Bread from Jamaica. Sativa plants are typically taller with slender leaves and more “airy” buds that produce an energizing, cerebral high.
In the 1970s, adventurous herb lovers started bringing seeds back to Europe and the United States. Soon, cannabis gardeners began breeding hybrids, resulting in the abundance of strains we enjoy today.

How a Sativa Remedy Can Help

Sativas tend to boost physical energy, making them excellent wake-and-bake strains. If you’ve been feeling a bit blue, sativa-dominant strains can uplift your mood and help foster a positive outlook.
Sativa remedies can also help relieve aches and pains while you go about your daytime activities. They can enhance mental focus and don’t typically produce the couch-lock effect you would get from indica-dominant products.
Sativas provoke a chatty and outgoing vibe for many people, and sativa remedies are ideal choices for laid-back social functions. If you’ve been planning a hiking, camping, surfing, or skiing trip, pack your sativa.
Cannabis has always been popular among artists, writers, and musicians. Sativa-dominant strains are ideal for people with creative careers as sativa remedies ignite the imagination and help increase productivity.

Popular Sativa-Dominant Strains

If you’re searching for a sativa remedy, you don’t have to limit yourself to traditional cannabis buds. You can find a nearly infinite variety of strain-specific products on the market today, including tinctures, concentrates, and edibles.

Some of the more popular sativa-dominant strains include:
  • Blue Dream: NorCal’s Blue Dream features a sweet blueberry flavor and mood-enhancing effects.
  • Sour Diesel: Classic Sour D has a gassy aroma and is one of the best sativa remedies for daytime pain relief.
  • Jack Herer: Named after a prominent hemp activist, Jack Herer has a unique herbal flavor due to its high levels of terpinolene.
  • Strawberry Cough: Award-winning Strawberry Cough is a real crowd-pleaser with its lip-smacking fruity flavor, skunky aroma, and potent 80:20 indica-to-sativa ratio.
  • Trainwreck: A blend of Mexican, Thai, and Afghani strains, Trainwreck offers 90% sativa genetics, a woody pine flavor, and potent cerebral effects.
Additionally, hemp farmers offer sativa-dominant flower with high concentrations of CBD, CBG, or delta-8. You can also get sativa-dominant products that combine CBD and THC in various ratios.
