This disclosure provides a composition comprising a synergistic mixture of hemp oil extract and palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), and a method for suppressing inflammatory and neuropathic pain by administering the composition to a subject. The anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive properties of the composition may be attributed by the entourage effect on the endocannabinoid system. Increasing the levels of endocannabinoids by inhibiting either their degradation or transport from the extracellular space back into the cells is a potential therapeutic target for managing these diseases.
A composition for administration to a subject, the composition comprising a synergistic combination of palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) and a hemp oil, wherein the PEA and the hemp oil are present in the composition in a weight ratio (wt./wt.) of from about 1.2:1 to about 4.5:1 (PEA:hemp oil).
