Hemp Seed OIl

Known to hold many therapeutic uses, Hemp Seed Oil offers a wealth of health benefits. Although extracted from the seeds of the Hemp plant (Cannabis Sativa) through cold pressing, this Oil does not contain Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) – which is known for its ability to give users a ‘high’. On the contrary, Hemp Seed Oil comes from cannabidiol (CBD), which is an active ingredient in cannabis. This is not habit forming and does not cause a high.
