Cannabis are making headlines almost everyday because of its medical uses, but, besides of smoking, do you know how to use it and what the benefits are? Today we introduce you the hemp seed oil, a dietary supplement that has many reported beneficial effects for your health.
So far we’ve talking about the seed oil, but there is also the oil made from the other parts of the hemp plant. Those can be used use as an after shower product to increase the blood circulation and you can even use it to season your salad, for example.
Hemp seed oil is an oil extracted from the hemp seed and notice: we are talking about hemp, not marijuana. There is a huge difference between them. Hemp plant is commonly used for industry (paper, clothes, foods…) and marijuana is the one with higher amount of THC, the one that makes you high.
Hemp seed oil extracts have been used all over the world as a traditional diet supplement and there’s a growing body of evidence demonstrating that, assuming it regularly with the food effectively helps to prevent a multitude of problems. Hemp seed oil has many essential amino acids, that one deprived in the body could cause serious problems like genetic mutations and cancer.
The daily allowance dosage of this oil is 14-28 ml (1 to 2 tablespoons), but we recommend you search deeper about it to guarantee you are taking the right amount for your purpose.
There are plenty of hemp oils available on the internet, but we would like also to introduce another type of oil, commonly known as CBD oil. Personally we like the ones made by Endoca. Besides the quality of their products, they donate 5% of their profits to Epilepsy research. But what is the difference between the hemp oil and the CBD oil?
While the hemp oil is a very high quality diet supplement, for example one of the best source of Omega-3, the CBD oil is a real medicine. On the web you can find a lot of information about people using it, for example, to threat the cancer. It is clear that is a powerful medicine, but the fact that is coming from the cannabis plant, and that it still contain a certain amount of other cannabinoids (THC included, even if in lower percentage) doesn’t make it easy to setup a proper international medical research at 360 degrees. For this reason, it you wanna use it for something serious, we recommend to discuss it with your doctor as first thing.
The key for making hemp oil such a success is the higher level of CBD (cannabidiol) and the lower amount of THC. In order to be presumed legal the hemp must have up to 0.3% THC, that’s because no one can get high with this low quantity of THC. The challenge for the breeders is to select strains (with high BCD and low THC) that are the opposite of the marijuana strains (that have high THC and low CBD).
