Used since the dawn of time, hemp was one of the first plants cultivated by man. There are several types of hemp, the Indian hemp which contains THC and (tetrahydrocannabinol) responsible for the psychotropic effects, the wild hemp, and finally the agricultural hemp, the latter is derived from selected plants that contain less than 0.3% THC.

Hemp is a plant cultivated for its multiple functions: its fibers are used to make clothes, ropes, insulation, mulch or bedding. Hemp can also be consumed in different forms. Its leaves can be used for making herbal teas and its seeds can be consumed as such, to decorate a dish, soaked in water then crushed for the production of vegetable drink, or ground to extract the famous hemp oil with multiple virtues. Finally, hemp oil is used in many cosmetic formulas, especially in creams, some soaps and shampoos.

WHAT IS HEMP OIL
Hemp oil is obtained by grinding the hemp seeds, also called seed. This oil does not contain any psychoactive compounds since the species used for this use is an agricultural strain, Cannabis sativa L., which does not contain THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), responsible for psychotropic effects.

Easy to grow, hemp is an ecological plant because it requires little water and does not require fertilizer. The cultivated hemp has few pests and its growth is fast, it resists drought very well.

Hemp spreads its roots up to 2 meters underground to draw the nutrients it needs to grow, so in rotation crop this plant improves soil quality.

WHAT IS HEMP OIL MADE OF?
Hemp oil is very rich in essential fatty acids. These fatty acids are called essential because they must be provided by the diet. The body does not know how to make them, so it is important to have a sufficient supply of essential fatty acids, especially those from the omega-3 family. Hemp oil is an excellent source, it consists of about 90% monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids (MFA and PUFA). Hemp oil contains 13% monounsaturated fatty acids (omega-7: palmitoleic acid; and omega-9: oleic and eicosenoic acid), and 77% polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), of which 59.5% omega-6 (linoleic acid) and 17.5% omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid).

Hemp oil contains only 10% of saturated fatty acids (palmitic, stearic and arachidonic acid).

This vegetable oil is one of the few oils to contain stearidonic acid, along with black currant oil. Also called Marutic acid, stearidonic acid is one of the main constituents of our nerve cells and retina cells. Our body synthesizes it only in very small quantities, a regular intake through the diet is therefore very beneficial.

Hemp oil also has an interesting content of arginine, a sulfur amino essential for the proper functioning of the metabolism, especially for the optimal functioning of the cardiovascular system.
