HEMP
You might not immediately associate hemp and India, but they share a long history. Traditional hemp use in India stretches back thousands of years, with its origins in Ayurveda. Hemp and India go back thousands of years, too. The Vedas, estimated to be at least 3400 years old, refer to it as one of the five most sacred plants. Traditionally, hemp in India was used to prepare natural medicines, nutritional foods, and fiber to make textiles. Traditional hemp use in India is associated with Ayurveda, a holistic medical system that focuses on promoting good health and preventing illness through healthy lifestyle practices and herbal remedies. Ayurveda originated nearly 3000 years ago and elaborately characterizes different hemp plant parts for various curative purposes.
NUTRITION
The hemp seed oil has been dubbed “Nature’s most perfectly balanced oil” since it contains the perfectly balanced 3:1 ratio of Omega 6 (linoleic/ LA) to Omega 3 (alpha-linolenic/ LNA) essential fatty acids, determined to be the optimum requirement for long-term healthy human nutrition. Both the complete protein and the oils contained in hemp seeds (rich in lanolin and linolenic acids) are in ideal ratios for human nutrition. Hemp products are GMO-Free, Gluten-free, Herbicide & Pesticide free, peanut free, Vegetarian approved, Kosher certified, No THC, and Trypsin inhibitor-free. Hemp products have a wonderful nutty flavor that can easily be incorporated into your diet while providing a powerful daily supplement.
SKIN CARE
Hemp seeds can keep your skin strong, shining, and blemish-free. The oil extracted from hemp seeds typically contains 50-70 percent linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid that cannot be synthesized by the human body alone and that helps build Ceramides – lipid molecules that keep the skin moist and strong, thereby preventing dryness and the entry of foreign materials and bacteria, which, as we all know, lead to a whole other problem – acne! But look no further, hemp seeds can help regulate that as well. Another fatty acid, Gama Linolenic acid, also found in hemp seeds, is vital to hormone regulation and can help control inflammation and those painful hormonal breakouts.
HAIR CARE
And don’t worry, hemp seeds will have your hair covered too, keeping it shiny, glossy, and strong! The linoleic acid is present abundantly in hemp seed oil is also great for hair. Healthy skin and hair are similar in that they are both composed of Ceramides that help keep them strong, smooth, and shiny. Additionally, the Gamma-Linolenic acid will have your hormones under control and you won’t have to deal with excessive oil production and dandruff. Added to all this is the abundant supply of Vitamin E in hemp seeds. Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant that helps promote hair growth from the roots up, keeping your scalp healthy!
HEMP SEEDS
Hemp seeds have secured their position as a superfood. They not only have a rich nutritional profile but also provide a range of health benefits. As a dietary supplement, it provides a blend of simple proteins, rich minerals and vitamins and a perfect balance of essential acids and antioxidants.
HEMP OIL
Hemp oil (also called hemp seed oil) is harvested by cold-pressing the hemp seeds. Although it comes from the cannabis plant, it usually contains only a trace of THC, the psychoactive, intoxicating element in cannabis. It is a natural source of important nutrients including polyunsaturated fatty acids such as omega-3 and omega-6 and proteins.
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
Cultivated for thousands of years, Hemp is one of the most environment friendly plants on the planet. The fact that it’s virtually carbon neutral, that it doesn’t require any pesticides and that all of the plant can be put to good use, means that it can provide a sustainable alternative to many of today’s unsustainable practices.
Hemp can, for the most part, reduce the need for many other mass-produced modern raw materials. And unlike most crops, rather than depleting the earth, Hemp plants help prepare the soil for the following year’s harvest (crop rotation).
ECONOMIC BENEFITS
Hemp offers a sustainability and durability that its competitors do not. This, in addition to hemp’s low-cost and low-input farming, keeps the economic burden of hemp farming and hemp products noticeably lower than its substitutes.
