SKIN HEALTH* According to the United States National Library of Medicine, “hemp oil is beneficial in the treatment of eczema and a variety of other skin conditions, including dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, varicose eczema, psoriasis, lichen planus, and acne rosacea.” Hemp oil is packed with vitamins and fatty acids that aid in the development and maintenance of healthy skin. Hemp oil fortifies our skin, making it more resistant to bacterial, viral, and fungal illnesses.
Additionally, the fatty acids in hemp oil nourish and protect the skin from oxidation, which produces wrinkles and other indications of age. Healthline has an excellent article describing how hemp oil may also be used to hydrate and alleviate inflammation. We have our own board-certified dermatologist on staff at First Crop, Dr. Jason Papenfuss, who collaborated with us to design our USDA certified organic hemp extract body and skincare products.
RELIEF FROM PAIN*
CBD is probably best known as a pain reliever. It is well-known for its ability to relieve inflammation from the inside out and tension throughout the body. In 2018, a review of published data concluded that the cannabinoids in full-spectrum hemp extract were effective at treating pain.
Another study discovered that women suffering from premenstrual syndrome reported fewer and milder symptoms after ingesting just 1 gram of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid contained in hemp. Numerous individuals report favorable outcomes when treating muscle tension, joint pain, tendonitis, arthritis, and other types of pain associated with exercise or age.
SLEEP*
Getting enough sleep has become more difficult for many people in our digital world. According to the Sleep Doctor, “CBD has the ability to lower anxiety, which may aid with sleep issues and quality of sleep.” CBD may help to boost total sleep duration and alleviate insomnia.”
Our full-spectrum hemp extract contains cannabinoids that aid in the relief of sleeplessness caused by typical aches and pains associated with activity or aging. Additionally, they aid in the relaxation of the mind and body and create a balanced stress response, which contributes to feelings of tranquillity.
ANXIETY*
You cannot discuss the body without mentioning the mind. If anxiety is not managed properly, it can result in a slew of other health problems. CBD has been demonstrated to alleviate a variety of symptoms associated with daily stress and to generate a robust immunological response.
Medical News Today has published an excellent article on how CBD oil might assist with anxiety. They discovered in 2011 that cannabidiol may help with social anxiety. 24 participants with social anxiety problems were given 600mg of CBD or a placebo prior to completing a public speaking assignment in that study. The results indicated that those who took CBD oil saw significant reductions in anxiety, cognitive impairment, and discomfort.
