What is Hemp Oil?

often referred to as hemp seed oil is derived from cold pressing the seeds of Cannabis Sativa (Industrial hemp) plants.

Hemp Oil is regulated in its production and is tested for THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol - a crystalline compound that is the main psychoactive ingredient of cannabis). Tests have shown that hemp (neither the seeds nor the oil) does not contain THC so it cannot get a person 'high' (intoxicated). This means that, despite coming from the same place as marijuana, hemp seed oil couldn't be more different, it has no value as a recreational drug and is perfectly legal in the UK.

Hemp Oil is referred to as a Superfood, because of the high levels of omegas, vitamins, and other nutrients which are naturally found in it. Hemp Oil may also be excellent for hair and skin thanks to all of those omegas and vitamins. In some cases, it can induce feelings of relaxation and calm, but it does not have any psychotropic properties. Hemp Oil is safe for both humans and Pets.

Hemp seed oil is filled with nutritional compounds that are great for the human body. This why hemp oil has been used medicinally and therapeutically for such a long time. For example, hemp seed oil is packed with health boost omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. There is also evidence to suggest that it has antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-fungal, skin regenerative, antiviral, cardio-protective and anti-inflammatory properties. If used as a dietary supplement, it can thicken hair, strengthens nails, alleviate acne and calm the nerves
