Hemp Seed

This week I was sort of bewildered as of what benefit of the hemp plant to explore, owing to the fact that there are endless information that I want to convey onto you guys. So while brainstorming it droned on me that everyone wants to look good, so why not give a few tips, hence the reason why we shall explore the “hemp seeds”.



Did you know that Hemp seeds are high in nutritional value and contain 20 different varieties of amino acids?

They contain high amounts of protein, which helps in strengthening the immune system, thereby, reducing the instances of diseases, besides helping in excreting toxins from the body. With all this being said I know that you may be wondering if you can get high from the seeds, but the answer is NO; because the THC tetrahydrocannabinol the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana is not found in the seeds itself. Upon completion of the harvest the seeds are to be washed as it may contains THC on the outside, it is said that once washed it can be used for its oil.

The protein found within this oil repairs damaged skin on the cellular level. It strengthens the cell walls while hydrating and helping the epidermal layers of the skin maintaining its moisture content. This oil is great for skin suffering from inflammatory conditions, such as acne, rosacea and eczema psoriasis. It also has antioxidants which is good for younger looking skin.

I have not tried it however, hemp seeds are said to taste great, very nutty and almost sweet. I can imagine adding the oil to salad dressings (similar to olive oil). There is also hemp cereal and drinks/ shakes; as a matter of fact I have tried “hemp wine” a few years ago and it tasted great.

I know that hemp is still illegal so I will not advise anyone to have it in their possession, however you can access hemp products via “Global hemp” which is a website that sells hemp soap and lip balm amongst other hemp products.

 


Massaging the seed oil into scalp once per week with regular shampooing and conditioning is said to moisturize, strengthen hair follicles and repair dry damaged hair.
