Properties of hemp seed oil
Hemp seeds are a rich source of fats valuable for health, which is why they are used to obtain hemp oil. It is produced by cold pressing at a temperature of around 40 ° C. Thanks to this, hemp seed oil does not lose its valuable ingredients. It should be eaten raw – alone or as an addition to dishes (including salads, pastes and pesto).
Hemp seed oil is rich in Omega polyunsaturated fatty acids. Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids are present in the proportion of 3: 1, which is the most beneficial for the human body. Hemp oil is also a source of minerals and vitamins (for example, the vitamin K contained in it has a healing and anti-inflammatory effect).
Hemp oil used internally
Hemp seed oil is most often taken internally by consuming it alone or as an adjunct to meals. It is worth remembering that it should never be heated. Publicly available information indicates that it is a product that has a beneficial effect on the circulatory system, regulates cholesterol levels, and supports the work of the liver, intestines and many other internal organs. Hemp oil strengthens immunity, regulates the hormonal balance and supports the work of the brain. It has soothing and inflammation-reducing properties. Its action can significantly prevent the development of civilization diseases and cancer.
Hemp oil used externally
Since the ingredients in hemp oil promote blood clotting, wound healing and anti-inflammatory properties, it is also used externally, usually for cosmetic procedures. Hemp oil moisturizes and nourishes the skin, also affects the regeneration of hair, skin, nails and reduces scars.
Properties of CBD oil
CBD oil has the same properties as hemp oil obtained from seeds, but its additional component is cannabidiol (CBD), which has a beneficial effect on the entire body – it inhibits inflammatory processes, reduces oxidative stress, and prevents cell aging. Publicly available information indicates its anti-cancer, analgesic, anti-allergic and anti-fungal properties.
A characteristic feature of CBD oil is its antipsychotic effect – it relaxes, calms, reduces anxiety and psychosis. It can be used to combat nausea, vomiting, stimulate the appetite and improve metabolism. It has a neuroprotective effect, which is why it is currently being researched to combat mental and neurodegenerative disorders.
Hemp oil or CBD oil is worth buying from a seller who provides detailed information about the oil, as well as certificates confirming the composition and quality of the product (cannabinoid profile, testing for the presence of heavy metals, pesticides, microbiological purity, and terpene profile). The higher the quality of the oil, the better its performance.
