ABOUT HEMP

HEMP

Hemp is known as the yearly growing Cannabis Sativa L. plant. China was one of the first countries to use hemp as a natural remedy but also for the processing of material. Main components of the plant are Cannabinoids and Terpenoids.

 

The most famous Cannabinoids are Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD).

THC is responsible for the psychoactive effects - although this depends on the concentration. Everything below 0,3 % THC does not effect the body or mind in a psychoactive matter, so there is nothing to worry about.

 

Cannabidiol is the non-psychoactive ingredient that is extracted from the female hemp plant.

Medically spoken, Cannabidiol is now known to have anti-inflammatory, relaxing, and balancing effects on the whole body. This is why CBD gains more interest all over the world and is being used widely - in chemotherapies, with epilepsy or diseases such as multiple sclerosis, against depression and anxiety, as well as pain and insomnia.

HEMP SEEDS

Strictly spoken, hemp seeds are nuts because they are extracted from the fruit of the hemp plant. Nutrition-wise, they offer a very wide spectrum of valuable ingredients. The hemp seed is the only oil-fruit that contains all essential fats and amino-acids necessary for the human body. Besides that, it is the only fruit that offers the optimal Omega-fatty acid relation of 3,71:1 (Omega-6 to Omega-3) and is therefore a perfect element of a anti-inflammatory nutrition - very supportive of a healthy cardiovascular system.
