Health Benefits Of Hemp Oil

Natural Pain Relief

Hemp oil can contribute to natural pain relief in multiple ways. One is that, as previously mentioned, the omega-3 components of the oil may help reduce inflammation. For those who experience chronic pain due to inflammation, the anti-inflammatory effects can have a significant impact on pain levels. The same is true of those recovering from a temporary muscle injury that's become inflamed. Another study done in 2011 indicated hemp oil can help reduce painful and uncomfortable symptoms related to menopause. Hemp oil is not the same substance as marijuana, though it comes from the same plant, the Cannabis sativa plant. To make hemp oil, the ripe seeds of hemp plants are cold-pressed. The plants don't contain THC, which is the compound that creates the 'high' in marijuana. However, they retain the painkilling properties marijuana boasts.
