🌿 Cannabinoids Show Early Promise Against Ovarian Cancer Spread

CBD and THC didn’t just affect cancer cells—they reduced their ability to spread. In laboratory studies, scientists observed that these compounds disrupted colony formation in ovarian cancer cells, a key process involved in tumor growth and metastasis. Ovarian cancer is among the most lethal cancers, making any signal of slowed progression especially noteworthy.

The findings suggest that compounds derived from cannabis may interfere with how cancer cells organize, survive, and expand. Rather than acting as a cure, the cannabinoids appeared to alter cellular behavior, limiting the formation of new cancer colonies.

It’s important to emphasize that this research is still in early stages, primarily involving cell-based models. These results do not mean cannabis can treat or cure cancer, and much more research—including animal studies and clinical trials—is required to understand safety, effectiveness, and real-world relevance.

Still, the findings open a new door for exploring plant-derived compounds as supportive or complementary avenues in cancer research.

In rongoā Māori, kawakawa is used in many ways, including as a topical balm to soothe eczema, boils, bites, stings and grazes, as well as to relieve toothache, gastrointestinal and genitourinary problems.

“The most abundant compound, of more than 60 that we found, was pellitorine, which has numbing effects on the body and could explain its use for pain-relief in rongoā Māori,” Dr Pook says.

Pellitorine also has a key role in chemical pathways in the body that reduce inflammation.

We are a small boutique business that puts more effort into our products, and health and wellbeing of our customers than money.

This means we don’t always have everything in stock and we may have extended wait times between batches. Everything is locally sourced and hand made. Supplies aren’t always readily avaliable.

I set off on this project to first help my family and close friends with the physical and mental health concerns. After the feedback we received I want to extend this to the wider community.

If you have a product in mind you would like us to explore, please reach out via messenger.

We hope to help all with whatever struggles you may have.
