Over the last year, I have been learning a lot about FECO and so today, I wanted to share the benefits of FECO with you. If you have been looking for a strong or potent cannabis option with which to manage your symptoms or conditions, FECO might just be the right answer for you!
FECO, which stands for “full-extract cannabis oil”, is a stand-alone product in the world of cannabis wellness and cannabis healing. FECO is made from ALL of the parts of the cannabis plant and is truly the mother of “whole-plant” options. The cannabis plant includes many beneficial constituents that provide therapeutic relief for patients across the world, including various cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and more – all of which are found in a well-produced FECO product.
FECO looks different than many of the cannabis/CBD tinctures available on the market today. FECO is green and gorgeous, just like the originating plant. Because FECO is made with a full-extract process, the medicine contains all of the available cannabinoids found in the plant (and retains that green color). This is much more powerful than the CBD oil you’ll find on most product shelves! FECO products offer all the goodness and healing that the cannabis plant has to offer.
The Benefits of Full-Plant Medicine
Full extract of cannabis oil (FECO) is the grandmother of extracts. Or, at least, your great-grandmother would likely recognize the product! Quite simply, FECO is an extraction that seeks to preserve all parts of the cannabis plant. The result is a thick dark-colored extract that was widely prescribed and readily available at US apothecaries until prohibition.
Now you can again enjoy the pro-health benefits of FECO nourishing your body’s endocannabinoid system with full extract cannabis oil.
Many confuse FECO with other concentrates including Rick Simpson Oil (RSO), gas extracted butane hash oils (BHO), CO2 oils, and other concentrates, but the difference is vast. FECO attempts to concentrate the entire plant to leverage what is known as the Entourage Effect while the others value only cannabinoids and terpenes.
The Entourage Effect is the scientifically supported position that for healing and relief, cannabis works best when all of the biochemical parts of the plant, not just cannabinoids, are included in the extraction. It is this whole plant philosophy that makes FECO a superstar in the herbal healing world and a natural fit for those attempting to maintain or improve their health in a natural way.
FECO for Cancer and Severe Medical Conditions
Many patients with cancer and other severe chronic conditions, including children, have found relief using FECO to mitigate their symptoms.
For cancer patients, the verifiable goal of leveraging cannabinoids is to improve the quality of life for the patient. This includes, but is not limited to, increased appetite, increased sleep, reduced pain, and improved mental affect.
Additionally, there are clinical studies that have shown that cannabinoids have the potential to reduce cancer and limit tumor growth in some cases. So, while cannabis may not be able to cure all cancers, it has provided transformative results for many patients.
Researcher Manual Guzman wrote the following in his paper, Cannabinoids: potential anticancer agents:
“Cannabinoids – the active components of Cannabis sativa and their derivatives – exert palliative effects in cancer patients by preventing nausea, vomiting and pain and by stimulating appetite. In addition, these compounds have been shown to inhibit the growth of tumour cells in culture and animal models by modulating key cell-signalling pathways. Cannabinoids are usually well tolerated, and do not produce the generalized toxic effects of conventional chemotherapies.”
In short, cannabis medicine – including FECO – can be used to improve the quality of life for cancer patients. And, cannabinoids may be able to inhibit cancer growth. This is not a sure thing in living organisms, but is verifiable in in vitro studies (in petri dishes) which is typically an early step in the scientific method.
Want to Try FECO for Yourself or a Loved One?
If you’re interested in experiencing the healing that comes with FECO dosing, I have a trusted and recommended source to pass on to you! Grandma Cat Extracts
Picture of a bottle of Grandma Cat’s FECO
My colleague Grandma Cat makes the best FECO around and has been doing so for over a decade. She began creating FECO when she saw a need in the medical cannabis community for tested and “safe & sane” cannabis products that people could rely on for symptom management and even the mitigation of chronic conditions. Understanding the chemistry of cannabis and the fundamentals of full-plant medicine, Grandma Cat has developed multiple formulations of FECO that have helped hundreds of people (if not more) on their pathway to healing.
Grandma Cat uses the historically accurate “moonshine method” allowing safe, human-quality alcohol to gently soak the high quality non-psychotropic (doesn’t make you “high”) cannabis active plant chemicals away from the cellulose structure of the plant. Then she drains and re-captures the alcohol from the deep emerald green solution leaving a deepest green, thick, potent extract full of cannabinoids and phytochemicals (plant goodness). She tests the extract at state-certified laboratories and then calibrates exact dosing solutions using virgin organic coconut oil.
