Hemp oil is produced by cold pressing the seeds of the plant rather than the flowers or leaves. Hemp oil does not contain THC or CBD (cannabidiol), but nevertheless always has great positive effects on:

– brain health,

– hearts,

– digestion,

– skin and

– problems with inflammation.

Hemp oil is high in complete polyunsaturated fatty acids with a 3:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3, which can help the body metabolize fats. It also contains antioxidants (vitamin E), carotene, phytosterols, phospholipids, minerals, calcium, magnesium, sulphur, iron, potassium, phosphorus and zinc.

Hemp oil is excellent as a food supplement for humans and animals.

POSITIVE EFFECTS OF HEMP OIL

HEART HEALTH

Hemp oil contains a high level of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in a ratio of 3:1. These essential fatty acids work to lower blood cholesterol levels and thus help prevent cardiovascular disease. Gamma-linoleic acid (GLA) in hemp oil is known to reduce inflammation.

HORMONAL BALANCE

Scientists have identified the importance of GLA found in hemp oil. GLA improves hormonal health or balance and reduces symptoms associated with PMS. It also affects menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, irritability and anxiety. Consumption of fatty acids with GLA does not cause side effects.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTION

We are again talking about the GLA in hemp oil, which has anti-inflammatory properties and effects on inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, rheumatism and fibromyalgia.

EFFECT ON PAIN

Hemp oil also has the effect of reducing pain if it is consumed or applied topically to the site of pain. Above all, it is a combination of anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving action.

EFFECT ON DIGESTION

The fatty acids in hemp oil encourage the good microbes in the intestinal flora. In addition, they relieve the digestive tract with anti-inflammatory action, which in turn affects good digestion.

IMPACT ON BRAIN FUNCTION

Essential fatty acids in hemp oil are known to improve memory, reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and anxiety.

HELP IN WEIGHT LOSS

Gamma-linoleic acid (GLA), found in hemp seeds, can reduce sugar cravings and is a natural appetite suppressant that helps you lose weight by consuming fewer calories.

EFFECT ON THE SKIN

Hemp oil has really positive effects on the skin, so it’s no wonder that the production of hemp oil skin products is increasing. It is worth mentioning the effect on moisturizing and retaining moisture in the skin without clogging your pores. At the same time, the oil soothes the skin and acts against inflammatory processes, such as skin inflammations, autoimmune skin conditions, sensitive scalp and against acne, as it regulates the production of skin oil. When used on the scalp, it is also vital for promoting hair growth. Hemp oil improves the circulation of the scalp and nourishes the hair follicles.
