Hemp oil with CBD has entered the medical mainstream in Australia under strict regulations, and is showing incredible benefits for those that have been granted prescriptions.
Hemp is a plant with huge potential in so many areas that it’s no wonder it is being hailed as a superfood, a nutritional supplement and a therapeutic option these days. The benefits are many, and it has been documented to help a lot of people with a plethora of conditions. But both hemp and hemp oil with CBD can do so much more.
Reduce stress, Anxiety and Depression
Research indicates that one of the primary compounds of hemp oil containing cannabidiol (CBD), can reduce the fight-or-flight response by balancing out the HPA axis activity, which regulates the hormones responsible for emotional responses such as stress, anxiety and depression. While hemp oil cannot cure these conditions, it can be a support for people to overcome them in combination with professional help and therapy.
Nutritional supplement
Hemp oil and hemp seeds without CBD are well-known superfoods with a high nutritional value, as they contain a wide range of vitamins, minerals, essential fatty oils (such as omega-3 and omega-6) and even compounds that can help fight and prevent illnesses. These are now legal to consume in Australia as they have no psycho-active components.
Promotes sleep
Hemp oil with CBD has been shown in several studies to have a calming effect on the mind, which has helped people get a good night’s sleep for centuries. With a long history in Eastern medical practices, hemp is known as a natural remedy for sleep. Furthermore, it can also reduce pain which is being seen in it's prescribed use for chronic conditions.
Environmentally friendly
Hemp is perhaps the most beneficial plant for our environment. While its ability to adapt to any climate makes it globally cultivable, its versatility also extends to its cultivation and uses: Hemp doesn’t need any fertiliser or other help to grow, and its transformation into biofuel, biodegradable paper and plastic, clothes and so on creates no waste product—the entire plant is useful. Hemp is also optimal as an agricultural rotation crop that can grow in soil otherwise neglected due to lack of nutrients, and it has been shown to reverse radioactive damage.
The benefits of hemp and hemp oil with CBD are so many that they can barely fit it in one book—let alone one article. But this knowledge is freely available online, and easy to
find for anyone curious enough to seek it.
