Essence of
natural healing
Our Story
EVA’s story is deeply rooted in the journey of its founder, Nargis Rahimi. Growing up in Afghanistan, she witnessed the devastating impact of illegal cannabis cultivation and consumption. Yet, her strong belief in science, combined with personal experiences faded the negative image of cannabis over the years, and in 2014 she began exploring the potential of cannabis for therapy and medical use.
Fueled by her unwavering passion and dedication to helping those with whom she shared similar experiences, she collaborated with her close friend, Caroline Bezu, and together they created EVA.
The project was born with a desire to develop quality cannabis-driven products for those suffering from chronic and mental health conditions while empowering women in Afghanistan. EVA aims to achieve this by combining cannabis with saffron grown in Afghanistan.
Why Cannabis & Saffron?
Cannabis and saffron both have a long history of use. The existing research done on cannabinoids and saffron separately determines many similarities in the therapeutic/health benefits they both offer. Similar to cannabinoids in cannabis, the four main compounds of saffron present strong neuroprotective, antioxidant, antitumoral, and anti-inflammatory action for several diseases.
TRPA1 & TRPV1
Pain signalling
Safranal from saffron binds the TRPA1 channel, which mediates pain signals. Cannabinoids such as CBC interact with TRPV1 and TRPA1 and help preserve the body's own endocannabinoids.
