The Benefits Of Hemp Oil by HempGarden

What Is Hemp Oil?

Hemp is a fantastic plant that can used for food, fuel and fibre. Hemp seed oil comprises 35% of the total seed weight. This oil has the lowest amount of saturated fatty acids at 8%, and the highest amount of the polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (EFAs) at 80%, total oil volume. Flax seed oil comes in second at 72% combined total essential fatty acids. Hemp and marijuana are very different varieties from the same plant species cannabis sativa L. The major difference between the two varieties is the level of THC, the psychoactive ingredient found at levels between 5-20% in marijuana while at trace levels of 0.00003% or less in hemp (maximum allowable limit).

What Are Essential Fatty Acids?

EFAs perform key functions in our cells and tissues that the body cannot live without. We must have them to live and be healthy. Our bodies cannot produce them from other substances, therefore we must obtain them form other sources. They are renowned for their remarkable healing and balancing properties. They assist in the function of the digestive, cardiovascular, immune and glandular system. They work at every aspect of the cellular level & carry oxygen to all the cells so food can be burned as energy. They are important for weight loss and weight management. They help our bodies absorb sunlight which gives us vitamin D to build strong bones. They are important for muscle heart function, inflammation, healing, regulating blood pressure, mental vitality, also very important in the fight against breast & prostrate cancer. In other words everything!!!

Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency

When we are deficient in Essential Fatty Acids it will result in gradual deterioration of cells and tissues, an ultimately in death if the deficiency is severe enough. If we increase our intake to adequate levels it can help to reverse the signs brought about by the deficiency. The more deficient our diets are the greater risk we have of developing health problems. Some complications that can develop are liver damage, stiff and painful joints, pain, hair loss, kidney problems, drying up of glands, infections, miscarriages, retardation, arthritis, weakness, impaired vision, skin conditions, cancer, in other words just about anything.

Is Hemp Seed Oil Legal?

Yes, hemp seed oil is legal in over 35 countries worldwide including USA, Canada, Great Britain, Germany, and France to name a few. Hemp oil and hemp derivatives can be legally imported sold or consumed in the USA, where hemp presently remains illegal to grow and cultivate.

Will Hemp Products Make Me High?

NO! absolutely not. The trace levels of THC present in hemp derivatives do not provide anywhere near the potency (percentage of THC by weight) required to give the consumer a drug high.
