Bangalore, 12

th July 2023: CARER, India’s Integrative Oncology company that provides holistic cancer care to patients, announced its collaboration with Wholeleaf, a licensed medical cannabis and CBD company. This collaboration aims to further improve the quality of life of patients undergoing cancer treatment by offering products that can be seamlessly integrated into CARER's nutrition, physical therapy, and mental well-being services.

The first integrative oncology solution in India, CARER provides evidence-based non-clinical therapies to support conventional cancer treatments. In order to improve a patient's outcomes nutritionally, physically, and psychologically, CARER therapies are used in conjunction with traditional treatment modalities like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.

Wholeleaf is the first licensed medical cannabis and CBD brand in India that is focussed on chronic and neuropathic pain management. Their GMP manufactured , lab tested , proprietary formulations contain medical cannabis leaf extract infused with ayurvedic super-herbs that provide a safe and effective way to relieve pain. Wholeleaf is licensed by the Ayush ministry to legally manufacture and distribute their formulations pan India.

A recent report published by the British Medical Journal indicates that medicinal cannabis can safely alleviate cancer pain and mitigate the associated side effects of treatment. The study found that the use of medicinal cannabis significantly reduced pain intensity, suggesting it as a safe and complementary treatment option for providing adequate pain relief.

Commenting on the collaboration, Samara Mahindra, CEO and Founder of CARER, said, "Having extensively researched medical cannabis for managing cancer pain, CARER is familiar with its benefits. We have closely tracked Wholeleaf’s journey and the extensive research conducted by them to curate and formulate the right products. Some of our patients have already had the opportunity to try Wholeleaf's products and have personally experienced their benefits."

Shivraj Sharma, CEO and Founder, Wholeleaf, said, "Cannabinoids found in medical cannabis are powerful natural compounds that have been clinically validated globally, offering a wide range of medical benefits without harsh long term adverse effects. These products are particularly useful for pain management. We are excited to collaborate with CARER in improving the quality of life for cancer patients. CARER has been at the forefront of creating an impactful holistic care model for cancer patients, and their services have transformed the lives of many. We are delighted to support their mission by integrating the CARER Protocol with our products. We look forward to a fruitful partnership."
