HEMP SEED – A LITTLE HISTORY
Hemp is one of the oldest known plants on earth, as well as one of the earliest cultivated plants by man. The oldest records of the plant come from archaeological excavations on the island of Taiwan, where ceramic vessels with hemp rope impressions were found in layers dating back 12,000 years.In the ancient world hemp was known as an exotic plant. Homer in his Odyssey describes how the beautiful Helen falls into depression and is cured with the help of a medicine brought from Egypt. The medicine was called nepente (against grief), in which many modern linguists see the slightly modified Egyptian name for cannabis – nibenji. Thracian tribes burned female cannabis flowers as mystical incense that induced trance. In a treatise from 220 AD, the physician Huatou recommends wine to which cannabis extract has been added as an analgesic. The earliest evidence of cannabis use in India is found in the Vedas and sacred Hindu texts. These writings date from 2000-1400 BC. The Hindu text Atharvaveda lists cannabis as one of the five sacred plants on earth that relieve anxiety.
The Vedas call hemp a source of happiness, a joy-giver, a liberator. In 1842, the physician W. O'Shaughnessy became the first popularizer of ganja (the strong Indian cannabis) in England, through his Bengal Pharmacopeia. Cannabis is included in the list of standard medicines and appears on the shelves of every pharmacy. In the 18th century, the famous biologists Linnaeus and Lamarck argued about how many types of hemp exist. It used to be accepted that the European variety was called Cannabis sativa and the Indian variety Cannabis indica, but modern science considers them to be different races of the same species and has adopted only the first name.

Hydrates and nourishes the skin
Hemp seed oil is a godsend for dry skin, especially during the cold months. Excellently hydrates the skin as it is easily absorbed and contributes significantly to strengthening the skin's barrier function and preventing moisture loss. Thanks to its high natural essential fatty acid content – more than any other plant-derived oil – it is perfect nourishment for the skin, making it an ideal oil for massages and treatments. It can be rubbed directly into the skin to treat chapped and dry skin or added to body oils and creams as well as other personal care products.
Reduces inflammation and soothes irritated skin
Applied directly to the skin, hemp seed oil soothes inflammation and irritation and relieves skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. One of the omega-6 fatty acids that hemp oil contains is gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory agent while promoting skin growth and new cell generation. It is often recommended by dermatologists as an alternative solution for allergy sufferers, as the oil can provide relief during bouts of itching.
It has a powerful anti-aging effect
Hemp seed oil fights aging by reducing the tired appearance of the skin, improving its structure and increasing collagen production. Its regular use restores the skin barrier and protects the skin from environmental aggressors that damage the skin and cause premature aging, such as sunlight, radiation, pollution, cigarette smoke and exposure to extreme hot or cold temperatures. Hemp oil makes the skin look tighter and younger.
Strengthens skin cells
The benefits of hemp seed oil also include strengthening the skin and allowing it to better resist infections. Its active compounds can stimulate cell regeneration and improve the skin's elasticity and firm appearance. It supports the building of healthy tissues and promotes the rapid regeneration of skin cells.
It has benefits for hair and scalp care
Hemp seed oil is an ideal addition to naturally healthy hair care. Combined with massage, the oil softens and nourishes the hair, restores the hair structure and increases blood circulation in the scalp area. Contains ceramides – these are lipids that support cell membranes. They regenerate the outer layer of the hair, thereby strengthening the hair along its entire length. They create a protective barrier against drying and harmful external influences and help to maintain the moisture balance, thus keeping the hair healthy, firm, strong, shiny and free of dandruff. The proteins contained in the oil contribute to the formation of keratin, the thick layer of which helps prevent hair breakage.
