The cannabis indica plant derived from Indica strains is shorter and bushier than its Sativa cousin. Indica strains are most associated with a sleepy, relaxing body high. It’s standard advice for those looking for medicinal strains to alleviate pain, sleeplessness, nausea, or anorexia.
Let’s have a look at a few of the strains.

These strains can be a good choice if you’re seeking a way to relax.

The reviewers all say they are in a calm state of mind. Multiple commenters have said that it should only be used in the evenings to help them relax.
● Ice Cream Cake
This strain, an indica hybrid of Wedding Cake and Gelato #33, is also very popular. Leafly users, as a whole, tend to be more laid back than the general population.

● Bubba Kush
Don’t smoke this if you have a lot on your plate; that’s the case with most Indica varieties.

● GMO Cookies

Strains For Appetite-Suppressing
If you want to whet your appetite, try any of these varieties.
● Zkittlez
Zkittlez, another low-THC strain, might be a suitable choice for those just getting started with cannabis. At least one Leafly reviewer claims this is the strain that works to increase their appetite.

Conclusion
Physically and psychologically, the blooms of different cannabis Sativa plants are similar. While these strains are often praised for their energetic, uplifting, and creative qualities, it’s crucial to keep in mind that individual tolerance, environment, and other circumstances may significantly alter how you feel under their influence.
It’s important to remember to start with a shallow dose when attempting a new strain. If the first dosage is well tolerated, you may gradually increase it.
