Overview Information
Canadian hemp is an herb. The root of Canadian hemp is used for medicine.
Despite serious safety concerns, Canadian hemp is used for arthritis, asthma, coughs, bloating, and syphilis. It is also used for heart problems including valvular insufficiency, “senile heart,” and weak heart muscles following pneumonia. Canadian hemp is also used to flush fluids out of the body by increasing urine flow.
Some people apply the fresh juice of Canadian hemp directly to the skin for warts.
How does it work?
Canadian hemp contains chemicals that may slow the heartbeat, lower blood pressure, increase the strength of the heartbeat, and increase urine. It may work similarly to the prescription drug digoxin (Lanoxin), but is less effective and causes more side effects.
