Benefits of Hemp Seed Oil

First of all, you need to know there is a difference between Hemp Seed Oil and CBD Oil. While both of them are derived from Cannabis Sativa, each of them is from a different part of the plant.

Hemp Seed oil is derived by cold pressing the smallest seeds of Cannabis Sativa. CBD Oil is derived from stalks, flowers and the leaves of the same plant. 

Hemp Seed Oil contains 0.3% THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) or less which is the recommended concentration. In fact, according to Research published by the US National Library of Medicine National Institute of Health, more than 0.3% of THC is an overdose.  Hemp Seed oil with a less than 0.3% THC has many benefits as indicated below.

Skin nutrition

Hemp Seed Oil contains proteins, sugars, carbohydrates, fats, vitamin C, gamma linolenic acid, calcium, iron, Omega-3 fatty acids, Omega-6 fatty acids and Vitamin B complex among others in the right amounts.  

The fatty acids help the skin to stay nourished. This helps to reduce inflammation as well as aging.

These nutritional values also strengthen skin to give it the ability to fight infections such as fungal, viral and bacterial.  

Skin treatment

It helps treat itchy and inflamed skin. In addition, a  Pharmacognosy Review of 2014, Nahida Tabassum and Mariya Hamdani found out that Hemp Seed Oil can also treat skin diseases such as dermatitis, psoriasis and acne among other skin diseases.

Due to its high levels of iron, at 20% of the daily recommended intake, Hemp Seed Oil helps your body to prevent diseases such as anemia.

The gamma linolenic acid and the omega-6 fatty acid present in hemp seed oil have anti-inflammatory properties. 

Hemp Seed Oil in skincare

Although Hemp Seed Oil is safe and beneficial to your body, researchers warn people against extracting it without following the recommended methods. In a peer-reviewed journal article Cannabis and cannabinoid Research, Yang, Yi et.al, advises people to carefully measure the amount of cannabinoids in hemp seeds.
