Hemp is the low-THC cousin of the cannabis plant. They both contain hundreds of cannabinoids, including CBD (cannabidiol). Hemp has less than 0.3% THC (so it won’t get you “high”) and cannabis has approximately 5% THC (has a psychoactive effect).

Cannabinoids (main active constituents within the plant) found in hemp, support the human endocannabinoid system (ECS). Based on recent scientific research, the main function of our endocannabinoid system is to maintain biological harmony in response to outside stressors.

Since 2500 BC, cannabinoids, which support the ECS) have been documented to be used to aid pain relief, relax muscles and calm the nervous system.

Based on recent scientific research, these, the ECS aids in regulating: mood, immunity, inflammation response, digestion, respiratory health and sleep.

In the 1700s, WB O'Shaughnessy, a surgeon and professor, popularized hemp and noted the analgesic effects in addition to its ability to relax muscles. In 2018, the FDA approved Epidiolex (cannabidiols, CBD) for the treatment of seizures associated with epilepsy.
