Rep Power: 29 | Google has the answer to all: Industrial hemp, unlike its counterpart marijuana, is extremely low in THC. There is a microscopic amount that is legally allowed as a residue in hemp seed oil in Canada which is 10 p.p.m.(parts per million)(u/g). This minuscule amount has no psychoactive effect. When the seed of the hemp plant are cold-pressed, it yields an oil that has a delicious and remarkable sweet nutty taste that is appreciated by both gourmet and health minded folks alike. Not only does hemp seed oil taste good, but it is a green gold-mine of the health enhancing omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids (LA, LNA) and GLA. Organic hemp seed oil, is considered to be the #1 nutritional oil for health, because it has the highest and most complete profile of essential fatty acids (EFA's, good healthy fats). First cold-pressed organic hemp seed oil is Nature's own healthy blend of omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids. And unlike most flax seed oil, hemp seed oil does not go rancid quickly. Here is what the experts say about hemp seed oil: It has the ideal ratio ( 3:1 ) of omega 6 to omega 3 essential fatty acids. "Nature's most perfectly balanced oil": Udo Erasmus (author: Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill) Hemp seed oil is the highest oil in essential fatty acids: 75-80% total EFAs. "An edible oil with superior nutritional and therapeutic properties"...Dr. Andrew Weil. |

Rep Power: 21 | Hemp oil is known as "Nature's Most Perfectly Balanced Oil." It contains 81% of the hard to find polyunsaturated Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). Aside from their unmatched nutritional value, these oils have the ability to enter directly into the lipid layers of dry skin cells and replenish the oils missing due to sun exposure, poor nutrition or other abuse. THE EFAs, vitamins, and enzymes are easily absorbed by the skin and contribute moisturizing qualities to cosmetics and soap. Saturated oils, on the other hand, only form a temporary barrier on the skin that slows transpiration from the body but does nothing for the skin cells themselves. Dermatologists claim that EFAs replenish dry skin, preventing cell loss and causing younger looking skin. Hemp seed oil has been used to soothe and heal dry skin and minor burns |
