Hemp - Cannabis sativa

Hemp Essential Oil is distilled from the flowers and upper leaves of the Hemp plant - Cannibis sativa. Its primary chemical constituents are beta-caryophyllene, beta-myrcene, and alpha-humulene.  It does NOT contain THC or CBD because those chemicals don't come through the distillation process.  The beta-caryophyllene is a CB2 agonist which means it works with our immune system (just like CBD oil) to modulate that system (promote healthy functioning).  

This essential oil has analgesic, antinociceptive (pain relieving), local anesthetic, antispasmodic, and anti-inflammatory properties.  It can help reduce pain and inflammation, and relax muscles where it's massaged into the body.  It's antibacterial and antiviral.  Studies on rats indicate a possible protection against cardiovascular and atherosclerosis risk.  It also demonstrates neuroprotective action.

It's chemical constituents, beta-caryophyllene and alpha-humulene, have strong antioxidant and antitumoral properties.  These two chemicals work in synergy to each strengthen the efficacy of each other.  Beta-myrcene, in addition to being analgesic, antinociceptive, and anti-inflammatory is sedative in nature which allows Hemp EO to help you relax naturally.

Keep the oil from oxidizing (store in a cool, dark place) and use topically or through inhalation only.  As with any essential oil, consult a physician before using if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
