In fact, the name Vijaya itself means victory or the one who conquers. This name has been named rightly so as it helps people battle, conquer, and emerge victorious over a host of diseases and illnesses. In this article, we will delve into some of the medicinal benefits of this magical herb.

Reduction of Pain and Swelling

One of the biggest powers of Vijaya is the immense relief it provides to pain. Additionally, it is also an anti-inflammatory medicine, and reduces swelling considerably. The herb works by acting on the neural pathways, which in turn alters the perception of pain in the brain. This superpower of Vijaya is particularly useful in providing pain relief to patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and other debilitating disorders.

It is believed that Vijaya can be used in treating other common, yet painful disorders as well. Additionally, in some cases, Cannabis sattiva may be preferred as it does not have the same side effects possessed by conventional allopathic painkillers.

Improving Appetite and Stimulating Digestion

People suffering from anorexia, bulimia and other eating disorders can experience significant benefits by consuming Vijaya as prescribed by a doctor. The herb has the power to stimulate digestion, thereby increasing one’s appetite. This power of Vijaya helps increase or at the very least improve food consumption.

Furthermore, it can also be used to treat a host of gastro-intestinal or GI disorders including Chron’s disease and irritable bowel syndrome  (IBS). It also helps in treating constipation and helps heal gastric ulcers.

Menstrual Pain and Cramp Relief

Most women experience severe menstrual cramps and debilitating pain during their periods. This can be alleviated by consuming the Vijaya herb. The reproductive system of women has several cannabinoid receptors. The Vijaya herbs constituents attach themselves to these receptors, relaxing the muscles and providing some much-needed cramp and pain relief.

Alleviating Psychological Disorders

Also, it has no harmful side effects and can be consumed with other medications.
