Benefits Of Hemp Oil

Hemp seed oil comes from the seeds of the hemp plant. There are two different ways hemp seed oil can be processed: Unrefined, cold-pressed hemp seed oil – this oil is green in colour with a nutty flavour. Cold-pressed hemp oil preserves hemp’s nutritious content, so it is often called “Nature’s most perfectly balanced oil”. Refined hemp oil – this oil is clear and colourless. It doesn’t have much flavour and also lacks the natural vitamins and antioxidants that hemp is known for.

The many health benefits of hemp seed oil come from its high content of three polyunsaturated fatty acids:linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, and gamma-linolenic acid. Additionally, its ratio of omega-6 (linoleic acid) to omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid) fatty acids is 3:1. One of the omega-6 fatty acids that hemp oil contains is gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory while simultaneously encouraging skin growth and new cell generation. Experts agree that this 3:1 fatty acid ratio is ideal for health benefits in humans.

A dermatology study found that hemp seed oil improves symptoms of atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema. Researchers attribute these results to the fatty acids found in hemp seed oil. Hemp oil is perfect for most skin types as it can moisturize without clogging your pores. It can help to balance out oily skin, hydrating it and regulating the skin’s oil production. Help to calm inflammation and irritation on the skin, including acne and some conditions like psoriasis, while keeping the skin nourished and moisturized. In addition to moisturizing and soothing the skin, hemp oil has anti-aging properties. Hemp oil can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles as well as prevent signs of aging from developing.
