To alleviate your chronic pain, you may have tried one of the many forms of medical cannabis (marijuana). Cannabinoids are the primary active ingredients in marijuana, and the vast majority of the millions of Americans who use products containing them report doing so for pain relief.
A new review in JAMA Network Open says that there is good evidence that a cannabis placebo, which is a substance made to look, smell, taste, and feel like the real thing, gives very similar pain relief as a cannabis-based product. Why is that, though?
What did this study try to find out?
In this meta-analysis of 20 randomised controlled studies, the effect of positive media coverage on patients' hopes that cannabis products will help with pain was looked at. There were a total of 1,459 people in the studies, and most of them had neuropathic pain or pain from multiple sclerosis.
Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or cannabidiol (CBD), the two main cannabinoids in marijuana, as well as the prescription drugs nabilone (Cesamet), dronabinol (Marinol, Syndros), and nabiximols, were used in these studies as active treatments (Sativex). Both the real drugs and the fake ones were given as pills, sprays, oils, smoked, or vaped. Researchers found that both groups of patients—those who got real treatment and those who got a fake one—felt about the same amount of pain relief.
Ted J. Kaptchuk, who runs the Program in Placebo Studies and The Therapeutic Encounter at the Harvard-affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, says that the study's results are not shocking. He says that, with the exception of opioids, most painkillers are only slightly more effective than a sugar pill.
In fact, clinical trials of common painkillers like aspirin and ibuprofen have shown that placebos relieve pain about as well as the real drugs. But this doesn't change the fact that the drugs have effects on the body. Instead, a placebo has the same effects or effects that look like the real thing. Kaptchuk says that they just use different neurobiological pathways to work.
What is Christmas without a little glimmer and wine? The holidays are the ideal time to pop some corks, and with the Campo Viejo Rioja, be sure to have your palate feel good.
Rioja is one of those wines about which people are quite passionate. The gran reserva is even more special. This is a lovely wine, smooth and tasty. There is something that happens when you sip this wine. You just automatically have that good wine feeling. A more mature wine that hits your palate and gives you a relaxed feel. This wine goes well with chocolate, meat, and more.
This Campo Viejo Gran Reserva 2015 is a "Gran reserva. Reserva wines are wines that have been aged for at least three years, at least one of which was spent in a barrel.

White wines use these phrases as well, although for shorter lengths of time, with a minimum of six months in oak.
Your skin is your body’s largest organ. It covers and protects your entire body. Not only that, but your skin is also the first line of defense against infection and disease. So it’s essential to take good care of your skin to stay healthy.
There are a lot of things you can do to take care of your skin, from using sunscreen to drinking plenty of water. But this article will focus on eight specific ways which will help keep your skin looking young and healthy for years to come.
Additionally, choose a sunscreen with physical ingredients such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, rather than chemical ingredients. These physical blockers block the sun’s rays from penetrating your skin, while chemical blockers merely absorb them.
On the other hand, if you need to enhance the condition of your skin due to the aging process, weather, and stress factors, you may also consider Botox and dermal fillers. These treatments are minimally invasive, meaning that they involve injections of either botulinum toxin (such as Botox) or hyaluronic acid (such as Juvederm). While there is botox being offered in Glasgow and other major cities, this kind of treatment requires trained professionals to administer the injections. Consider consulting a dermatologist or plastic surgeon to learn more about these treatments.
Additionally, adding foods rich in antioxidants, such as green tea and dark chocolate, will help fight free radicals and keep your skin looking radiant. Lastly, try to avoid sugary processed foods as these have been found to lead to an increase in wrinkles and age spots.

Use Sunscreen
The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause premature aging, wrinkles, and even skin cancer. That’s why it’s important to use sunscreen every day, even if you don’t plan on going outside. Look for a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and make sure it offers broad-spectrum protection and try to wear it all year long (yes, even during the winter times).Additionally, choose a sunscreen with physical ingredients such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, rather than chemical ingredients. These physical blockers block the sun’s rays from penetrating your skin, while chemical blockers merely absorb them.
Non-invasive Treatments
In-office treatments such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion are two noninvasive treatments that can help improve the appearance of your skin. Chemical peels use exfoliants to strip away dead skin cells, while microdermabrasion uses a diamond wand to remove the top layer of skin and stimulate collagen production.On the other hand, if you need to enhance the condition of your skin due to the aging process, weather, and stress factors, you may also consider Botox and dermal fillers.

Eat Skin-boosting Foods
You can’t outsmart genetics when it comes to your skin, but you can ensure that you’re getting the right nutrients to help keep it looking healthy. Eating foods like fruits, vegetables, and omega-3-rich fish will not only help protect your skin from sun damage, but they’ll also give your body the essential vitamins and minerals it needs for glowing skin.Additionally, adding foods rich in antioxidants, such as green tea and dark chocolate, will help fight free radicals and keep your skin looking radiant. Lastly, try to avoid sugary processed foods as these have been found to lead to an increase in wrinkles and age spots.
There are dresses that you will see, and you will just know that this dress will look so good on you. This dress was not supposed to be bought, but when I travel to Belfast, it happens to be the day one of the largest Primark stores, which was burned down, is reopening, and I see people lined up, so me and my friend decide to go in since the line is moving very fast. People were tromping in and out of the store, and from the look of things that had new collections, we went there, and I ended up buying this dress.
In the world of fashion, animal print is already a classic trend. In today's post, I'd like to highlight the best ways to wear animal print this year. This print, in my opinion, will never go out of style. It's something that will add a feminine and sweet touch to our everyday looks.
One of the unspoken guidelines for wearing animal print is to approach it the same way you would any other neutral colour in your closet. This means it can be paired with other prints, like tartan and stripes. Muted brown versions go well with denim, burgundy, navy, and khaki.
I wore this dress to a praise and worship session in Belfast, and I also recently wore it to church in Glasgow, and I like that it is free, flowy, flattering, yet decent. The only thing I will say that is negative about this dress is the design on it.
I don't like wearing animal prints, and this happened to be one of them, but I pushed myself to buy this dress, and I like the fit.
This dress has very flexible styling options. You can style it with boots, sneakers, sandals, slippers, or heels; all will be perfect with this dress.
The dress is still available at Primark, and you can purchase similar online.

Snoop Dog's red wine is all over Instagram, and I'm not surprised because it tastes great. I had this wine a few days ago and enjoyed it.
Never judge a bottle of wine by its label, they say. I'm not a big fan of red wine in general, but the Snoop Dogg Cali Red Blend is a cut above the rest. The Snoop is no different; it's subtle, smooth, and easy to drink. In my opinion, a bottle is decent if it tastes good and is easy to drink.
Snoop Dogg, on the other hand, is a household name. The California-based rapper collaborated with 19 Crimes to sell his signature wine, the Cali Red. I was very impressed with what I tasted, and I would recommend this wine to anyone who enjoys sweet wine with a sophisticated flavour.
Cali Red is dense and dry, with bright flavours that evoke raspberries, blackberry jam, vanilla, and toasted oak. Aside from the tasting notes, the beautiful plum colour adds to its allure. This Snoop Dogg wine review will tell you more about its flavour, aroma, and food pairings.
