CBD for Endometriosis
Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women or an estimated 176 million women worldwide. Many remain undiagnosed and are therefore not treated leaving women to find alternative solutions to heal and soothe their body all alone.
Juna has partnered with experts, Jaclyn Tolentino, DO (head physician at Parsley Health), Julie Kuhn (co-founder & president of the Worldwide Endomarch), and Jessica Murnane (author, podcast host One Part Plant, and founder of KnowYour Endo) to discuss how endometriosis manifests in the body, how it relates to the autoimmune system, and the science behind why CBD is an effective long-term solution.
