Have you heard about hemp oil in passing conversations and wondered what it is and what it has to offer? No, we’re not talking about the omega 3-rich hemp seed oil that you may have cooked with, we’re talking about the ‘good stuff’… full-spectrum hemp extract oil! In this article you will learn about what hemp extract oil is, how it works and how you could benefit from it.
What is Hemp Extract Oil?
As the name implies, hemp extract oil is an extract of the hemp plant, also known as industrial hemp. The oil is extracted from the stems, leaves and flowers (but not the seeds) of the hemp plant and contains over 100 beneficial active compounds, including various phytocannabinoids, flavonoids and terpenes, which have numerous health benefits.
“hemp is a sub-species of the cannabis sativa plant which is high in CBD (cannabidiol) and low in THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, which causes the psychoactive ‘high’), so when you use hemp extract oil you’ll get all the benefits without the haze.”
How Hemp Extract Oil Works.
Hemp extract oil works by interacting with a complex network of receptors found throughout the body called the endocannabionoid system (ECS). The active compounds found in hemp extract influence these ECS receptors and bring about homeostasis, or balance to body’s hormonal, immune and nervous systems leading to numerous beneficial effects.
