Healing With Hemp

"Hemp will be the future of all mankind, or there won't be a future" - Jack Herer

Before writing this post I didn't know too much about hemp. When I was a kid I remember going to markets and seeing colourful hats that were made out of hemp but otherwise I was in the dark about what hemp could be used for. I remember learning that even though hemp and marijuana are both technically strains of Cannabis sativa, hemp does not give you any type of mind-altering experience.

So aside from a cool hat, what are the benefits of hemp and can you heal with it? The answer is YES! Upon testing three new products from Hemp Factory and doing a little research, here are some of the amazing healing benefits of hemp and how you can incorporate hemp products into your life today.

THE OIL

Hemp Factories cold pressed hemp seed oil came in a smart looking bottle and has a nutty flavour and smell. Upon doing some research, the benefits of this oil are outstanding. The oil can help reduce cholesterol, assist with joint pain (a real winner for me), helps PMS and can improve eczema and acne (okay holy moly I'm sold). I am starting out by having a teaspoon a day and putting on my face before bed.

THE COMPLETE PROTEIN

I have always struggled to find a great plant-based protein, and it seems that hemp protein might be the best option for me. Hemp Factories protein is high in fiber (folks we all need more fiber), high in the omegas and magnesium. It was a bit of a shock to taste this natural product after using sugary protein powders for so long, but now I am used to the taste. I am starting out with this product by blending about a teaspoon into my morning smoothie.

THE HEARTS

What a cute name! The hearts are hulled hemp seeds which can be used in smoothies, as a meal topper or even as a body scrub. Again, these babies are high in fiber and protein and even chlorophyll! Most excitingly, you can make hemp milk out of them! I am always on the look-out for plant-based milk as dairy tends to cause my skin to break out. Hemp Factory also has other recipes with the hearts on their blog.

When introducing hemp into your life it is so important to find 100% natural and organic products. Hemp Factory ensures that their products are up to standard as well as providing products that are created in a food and allergy safe environment. This company is really on a mission to educate people on the healing benefits of hemp, and I am so grateful that I found them.
