The healing power of hemp

Well-being

Hemp is high in both soluble and insoluble fiber. Both types of fiber are important for digestion and well-being.

Pain Relief

Hemp is rich in omega-6 fatty acid that has shown to produce anti-inflammatory properties, including pain relief.

Overall Health

The fiber present in hemp may lead to lower bad cholesterol and improve heart health, and has also been known to lower the risk of diabetes.

About Big Mike

Native Medicine’s founder Big Mike is part of the Chickasaw nation and carries a Chanupa, (the sacred pipe), form the Lakota people. He has been praying and making medicine for the people for over 20 years. His interest in hemp, and its healing powers, motivated him to establish Native Medicine.

Recognizing that all things come from the heart, Mike has built a philosophy of living rooted in the old ways with respect and love for the ancestors that sustain him.

When you see Mike, it’s almost guaranteed his first words will be, “Drink more water”, and when departing, “I just burned sage for you, prayers and blessings.”
