The Ancient Roots: Emperor Shen Nung’s ‘Pen Ts’ao Ching’
One of the earliest documented recognitions of cannabis’s properties can be found in the ‘Pen Ts’ao Ching’, or ‘The Classic of Materia Medica’, a foundational text in traditional Chinese medicine. Attributed to the legendary Emperor Shen Nung, this work from 2727 BCE cataloged hundreds of botanicals, including cannabis, and detailed their medicinal applications. This text serves as a powerful testament to the plant’s long-standing use and its significance in ancient health practices. The inclusion of cannabis in such a foundational medical text demonstrates that its therapeutic value was recognized and utilized by early civilizations.
The Evolution to Modern Extracts
Over the centuries, the understanding and use of cannabis evolved as it spread across the globe. From its use in ancient rituals and textiles to its modern-day applications, the plant’s versatility has always been its defining characteristic. The modern era has brought about a new level of precision and sophistication in how we interact with cannabis. At Dabble Extracts, we honor this rich history by using advanced techniques to create high-quality, pure extracts.
Just as Emperor Shen Nung sought to document and understand the properties of botanicals, we are committed to unlocking the full potential of the cannabis plant.
