Hemp and CBD in Naturopathy: Experiences of Doris Jäger

The relationship between the cultivated plant hemp and humans is a story with many chapters. The "green gold" of nature has convinced numerous peoples for millennia. Especially in natural medicine, the plant played a particularly important role. The first written document on the medical use of cannabis dates back to 2700 BC in China, for example. From there, the plant worked its way through the entire history of the world with its versatile active ingredients and continues to find special resonance in many areas to this day.

Hemp in Medicine: Tradition and Modern Natural Medicine

The former diploma educator has had her own experiences with the forces of nature. As a child, she preferred to collect cough syrup recipes, which she pasted into a school notebook. Thirteen years ago, she stumbled upon her current calling by chance: "In our village, there was an eye diagnostician whom many people from near and far came to see. At that time, I associated it with 'mysticism' until I informed myself with a renowned alternative practitioner from Switzerland. He clarified the connections and functions in natural medicine for me, and I was also allowed to attend a brilliantly convincing trial lesson. Until then, I only knew conventional medicine and was practically pushed onto the path of natural healing," Doris Jäger recounts the beginning of her calling.

Mental Health, Resilience & Natural Medicine

The connection to nature, the relationship between body, mind, and soul, and public health excited Doris Jäger so much that she established her own natural healing and coaching center based on positive psychology. Her vision is clear for the resident of Wolfurt: "My vision has always been to inspire, emotionally engage, and inform people about what they can do themselves to enhance their well-being and take their health into their own hands. To this end, I hold seminars on preventive mental fitness and various natural healing methods, am present in TV and radio programs, and teach as a lecturer and trainer at several training and educational institutes in the DACH region. Currently, I am providing many self-help tips directly from natural medicine and the resilience field with the new lecture series 'natumed – Nature as Medicine.' Everyone should be able to actively participate in their own health prevention – you just have to know HOW."

CBD Oil and CBD Cream: Experiences from Practice

Whether through the use of CBD oils, CBD creams, or hemp foods – the cultivated plant offers enormous potential. That the plant and its active ingredients deserve much more spotlight than they currently receive is also known to natural practitioner Doris Jäger: "As an avid reader and blogger, I have, of course, dealt with the topic of hemp, and through numerous literature recommendations, it is completely clear to me that there is a lot behind it. I am always the one who has to gain personal experience before I can stand behind a brand, and so I tried the 10% CBD oil and the CBD cream from HANAFSAN myself, and I must say: a resounding success - I am more than just convinced of the quality of the products. I am thrilled."

Common Diseases and Natural Healing Approaches with Hemp

Especially in the last few months, Doris Jäger has noticed how important the connection to nature is, as the past COVID19 year was not easy for her, but also for many people who sought advice from Ms. Jäger. "I am also a psychological consultant with training in crisis management. Many people came to me with existential fears, feelings of being overwhelmed, and anxiety. But also some singles who complained about social isolation. This manifested itself in frequent cases of neurodermatitis, migraine attacks, sleep disturbances, and exhaustion. Chronic pain, such as neck tension, was also often on the agenda." Currently, the situation has calmed down again, but recurring common diseases such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, or chronic bronchitis will certainly remain.

Scientific Analyses: Application of CBD in Everyday Life

In the new collaboration with Ms. Jäger, the focus is on tapping into and scientifically analyzing experiences made with approved hemp and cannabidiol products. A mutual exchange with the clear goal of applying what has been learned. "Doris Jäger is a well-known name in Vorarlberg, but also far beyond its borders. She is THE address in matters of natural medicine in Vorarlberg and not only has an extremely admirable CV but also incredible energy and drive. I am sure that we can learn a lot from each other - we are very much looking forward to this exchange," says Luka Kevric from HANAFSAN.
