The legalization has spurred economic growth in Germany's cannabis industry, with estimates ranging from €1 billion to €2 billion annually. The simplification of medicinal cannabis access through telemedicine and imports, along with cheaper prices than black market alternatives, further contributes to this growth. However, the slow growth of cannabis clubs due to complex regulations continues to drive some consumers to the black market.",

How do innovative technologies like saliva diagnostics and energy-based therapies contribute to the effectiveness of oral biohacking?

Chronic oral inflammation, like periodontitis affecting almost half of adults, releases inflammatory markers into the bloodstream, linking oral health to various diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders. Oral dysbiosis, an imbalance in oral bacteria, further contributes to hormonal imbalance, cognitive issues, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Oral biohacking aims to address these issues through targeted interventions.
