WHAT IS RSO OIL?


RSO stands for Rick Simpson Oil. RSO is a cannabis plant extract and technique that was reintroduced to the public by Rick Simpson so anyone could easily produce the oil for themselves. According to the directions in Rick's video "Run from the Cure," a solvent is used to do a quick wash of the dried bud melting or extracting the essential plant oils into the solvent. The stripped plant material is then discarded and the solvent is then evaporated off leaving the oil behind. The oil left behind is the RSO.

What does RSO do? Our bodies have an endocannabinoid system which is responsible for regulation of many of our bodily functions. Our bodies also have the ability to produce our own cannabinoids, they are called endocannabinoids. In a healthy person everything works fine and the endocannabinoid production is enough to keep us healthy. If you are sick, have been injured, or live in a polluted area, chances are your endocannabinoid system cannot keep up with the demands put on it and needs cannabinoids from somewhere else, the cannabis plant. RSO is a very concentrated form of cannabinoids, that is why so many people experience such great results when using RSO oil. It helps your ailing cannabinoid system with exactly what is needed to keep your body running like well oiled machine.
It seems that the medical community is finally seeing the light and starting to test and study the cannabis plant and all its properties and potential health applications. Here are a few conditions that science has proven cannabinoids are therapeutically active against: arthritis, cancer, chron's, diabetes, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, seizures, and parkinson's.
