Cannabis and CBD Oil

Cannabis, as a plant, has various benefits.”Cannabidiol” (CBD) is an extract of the cannabis plant. It provides immense pain relief when applied topically. It is the least intoxicating compound of the hemp plant. CBD oil is rich in cannabinoids, essential oils, and terpenes. 

Difference between Hemp Seed Oil and CBD Oil

Hemp oil is only extracted from the hemp seed of the plant while the CBD Oil is an extract from the whole plant, inclusive of flowers, leaves, and the stems. Cannabis oil, in general, contains large amounts of THC. THC stands for “tetrahydrocannabinol.” It is “psychoactive” in nature and is responsible for the “high” experienced when smoking marijuana.

Regardless, products that contain either hemp seed oil or CBD oil do not cause a high as their THC levels tend to be very low!

Advantages of Using CBD Oil

What makes CBD oil unique in its topical application is how readily trans-dermal it is, passes quickly from the skin into our body. However, it is “hydrophobic” it does not go into our bloodstream and pass through our whole system.

In contrast, it works with the cells in its area of application and bodily systems to relieve inflammation and pain. Nonetheless, this oil is mixed in salves, lotions, creams, lip balms, and soaps. Also, it can be directly applied to massage sore joints making it the go-to remedy for ailments like inflammation, arthritis, and even headaches.

Benefits of Hemp Oil

Along with moisturizing and reducing inflammation, hemp oil is very skin-friendly regardless of skin type. It aids in balancing out the oil production of our skin and prevents it from drying out.

Dryness is also likely to cause an overproduction of oil, and this often is a precursor to acne. Hemp oil prevents dry skin without clogging pores, further reducing the production of acne.

Furthermore, hemp oil has anti-aging properties. The “linoleic and oleic acids” cannot be produced by our body, but they play an essential role in the health and aging process of the skin.
