Hemp Seed Oil
A natural product obtained by pressing hemp seeds, hemp oil is associated with cannabis. However, it contains trace amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol, the substance responsible for inducing the “high” experienced by cannabis users. Hemp oil, instead, is rich in cannabidiol, which is known for its therapeutic effects. As such, consuming hemp oil is entirely legal.
Hemp oil is rich in so-called good fats such as omega-6 and omega-3. It also has several essential amino acids that help in skin healing. Additionally, it has calcium, vitamin C, iron, gamma-linolenic acid, arginine, magnesium, iron, and B vitamins.
The omega fatty acids in hemp are known for their anti-inflammatory activity. They can soothe swollen lips that may have been irritated after the onset of chapping. Hemp has a history of treating various skin conditions, including dermatitis, acne, and eczema.
Before using hemp seed oil, it is crucial to ascertain that you do not have allergies to it. Unfortunately, some people have allergic reactions to the cannabidiol content of this product. Adverse reactions to this substance include hives, swelling or angioedema, and rashes.
