HEMPOWERED ORGANISATION AWARD ANNOUNCEMENT

Recipient: HempStreet

Award Title: HEMPOWERED ORGANISATION AWARD

Awarded for: Outstanding Innovation in Menstrual Pain Management Using Medicinal Cannabis

Introduction:

We are pleased to announce that the HEMPOWERED ORGANISATION AWARD is conferred upon HempStreet, India’s pioneering research-to-retail venture in Ayurvedic cannabis solutions. This accolade recognises HempStreet’s groundbreaking work in developing and clinically validating cannabis-based treatments for menstrual pain, a condition affecting millions of women globally.

Innovation Highlights:
Formulation Femme​

HempStreet's flagship product, Formulation Femme, is a non-psychoactive, Ayurvedic cannabis-based tablet designed specifically to alleviate menstrual cramps. This formulation combines traditional Ayurvedic ingredients with modern cannabis research to provide effective relief without the side effects commonly associated with conventional painkillers.

Clinical Validation

In collaboration with Amrita School of Ayurveda, HempStreet initiated a year-long, double-arm, randomised controlled trial involving 60 volunteers. The study aimed to assess the analgesic effects of cannabis-based medicines on Primary Dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps). Preliminary findings indicated significant reductions in pain frequency and severity, as well as improved daily functioning among participants.

Global Recognition

HempStreet's commitment to innovation and research has garnered international attention. A Phase 1 trial published in the Cannabis Health News highlighted the safety, efficacy, and acceptability of Formulation Femme in managing dysmenorrhea, laying a robust foundation for further research and development.

Impact and Future Directions:
The HEMPOWERED ORGANISATION AWARD recognises HempStreet's dedication to innovation, research, and the betterment of women's health. Their work exemplifies how traditional knowledge and modern science can converge to create sustainable, effective solutions for pressing health concerns. We congratulate HempStreet on this well-deserved recognition and look forward to their continued contributions to the field of medicinal cannabis and women's health.
Conclusion:
HempStreet's efforts are not only transforming menstrual health care but also challenging societal taboos surrounding women's health and cannabis use. With plans to expand clinical trials and introduce additional formulations, HempStreet is poised to lead the way in integrating Ayurvedic wisdom with modern science to address chronic pain and menstrual health issues.
