What Are the Benefits of Taking Hemp Seed Oil?
05/31/2016 / By Michael Bundrant
Until recently, hemp has been widely discredited for its multitude of uses. But it is now being recognized as one of the most beneficial plants on the planet. Now, this is not to be confused with Cannabis, which has the active ingredient tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which gives a psychedelic effect when consumed. Hemp has no THC, but is high in Cannabidiol (CBD), which is where most of its medicinal qualities stem from.
When hemp seeds are cold-pressed, you get unrefined hemp oil, which is packed with benefits.
Some benefits that you may reap from the use of hemp oil include anti-cancer properties, better cell reproduction and protection from free-radicals, younger looking skin, and shiny healthy hair.
This is due to the fact that hemp oil is packed full of omega-3 fatty acids, a small amount of omega-6 fatty acids. The balance of these two within our bodies is crucial for optimal human health, and hemp oil contains just the right balance. It also contains several other types of fats, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals.
According to an article published in the Journal of Nutraceuticals, Functional and Medicinal Foods titled “The Composition of Hemp Seed Oil and its Potential As An Important Source of Nutrition”, “Essential amino acids help maintain the proteins in your body, which can prevent muscle loss. Hemp oil delivers small amounts of vitamins and minerals, including calcium, potassium, magnesium, copper, folate and vitamins B-6 and E.”
Hemp oil can also be used to replace petroleum-based products, such as plastics. The ecological, economical, medicinal, and overall health benefits are an indicator of why it has been kept in the dark for such a long time.
Big businesses and industries of all types would see a serious decline in their client base if they turned to a natural, sustainable, healthy product such as hemp oil, which actually fixes problems rather than masking current ones and creating bigger ones for the future.
And now, there is a liposomal hemp oil on the market, which dramatically increases absorption. The future of hemp is looking bright!
