Hemp Oil

(Pat) #1

Does anyone here take or use Hemp oil? I saw some on sale at a fruit barn, I took the leaflet with me and have looked it up. It’s supposed to be very good for aches and pains, eczema, dermatitis, headaches, migraines etc., etc. I’d be interested to hear anyone’s views.
thanks

I have used CBD oil to some minor effect. The one I used at a minor dose brought pain down a little more when recovering from my last surgery. Hemp oil is going to be less effective I think, but should have some CBD in it. I recently bought some cold pressed hemp oil, as an option for cooking, but honestly haven’t tried it yet. It should have a fair amount of ALA omega 3 in it though. It is supposed to have a mild, slightly nutty taste.

I enquired if I take hemp oil would that take the place of magnesium, fish oil, vitamin d and b as it’s advertised as a superfood to be taken one teaspoon daily, it’s supposed to be good for everything almost. It does say the percentage of THC is 0.03% and so is not classified as cannabis oil. I thought it might help with my trigeminal neuralgia.

I do regard hemp hearts as a “superfood.” It has enough ALA omega 3 to allow the body to convert what it needs into DHA, even though this coversion is inefficient. It has a lot of protein, and its protein, called Edestin, is an easily digestible form. It does have a lot of minerals, and a decent taste. You’ll just have to try it to see if it helps you. I would be liberal with it. I just had hemp hearts on my salad tonight.
