Is indica or sativa better for pain?

I have chronic back pain from an old injury, and I've heard people discuss Indica versus Sativa for pain relief. Which one is generally considered better for managing pain?

When we were managing my father's pain, the doctors at Fortis clearly advised us to only use medically approved and prescribed pain management therapies. Please ask your oncologist or physician directly.

For body pain, simple things like a warm mustard oil massage or hot water fermentation work wonders. Why get into these complicated cannabis terms when simple home solutions are available?

I understand how tiring chronic pain can be. While some people use Indica for physical relief, you can also try drinking warm ginger-turmeric water, as it is a very powerful natural painkiller.

I was just reading about this yesterday! Actually, most medical articles say Indica strains have a heavier body effect, making them more suitable for chronic pain relief compared to Sativa.

Generally, Indica is considered better for body pain and physical relaxation, while Sativa is more for energy. I hope you find some relief from your pain soon.

I recently used prescribed medical CBD oil with Indica properties for my back injury pain. It really helped in relaxing the muscles and letting me sleep through the pain. Definitely check with an Ayurvedic doctor.
