Cosmetic properties of hemp oil

Hemp oil contains the maximum amount of unsaturated fatty acids as compared to other known oils. Their balanced content is the most valuable quality of the oil. The oil also contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, E, K, D, trace elements - minerals Zinc, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Phosphorus, Potassium and Sulfur, Resin, Choline, Sugar, Edestin, Saponins and amino acids.

In sufficient quantities, the oil contains natural antioxidants: vitamin E (tocopherols), Carotene and phytosterols, as well as chlorophyll (which has an antitumor effect and gives a greenish color), tannins and some components of cannabinol. It is very important that the cannabidiol present in the oil does not have a psychoactive effect, it affects the system of anandamides, which are produced by our body. These substances are responsible for the body's response when the immune system is compromised and facilitate psychological and cognitive functions. The level of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) in hemp oil is very low, less than one part per million. To feel the “toxic effects”, a person must consume between six and nine liters of oil at a time.

Hemp oil shows its properties brightly and most often already at the first application - it nourishes, protects, regenerates the skin, restores its elasticity, perfectly fights dehydration thanks to its ability to fix moisture (especially quickly reanimates the skin in the autumn-winter period).
Essential fatty acids are essential for healthy and supple skin, hair and nails. They provide oxygen to every skin cell, cleanse arteries, boost the immune system, and prevent viruses and other threats to the immune system. Fatty acids can only be obtained from food, as they are not produced by the body.
Hemp oil quickly restores the broken lipid barrier, thereby soothing dry, flaky and irritated skin, and has an anti-inflammatory effect on skin with inflammation. The alpha-linolenic acid in hemp oil gives it high regenerative properties, helping to limit moisture loss from the skin's surface.
A recent Canadian study of the oil found that it has broad-spectrum UV protection for the skin, has a restorative effect on already sun-damaged skin, and helps repair muscle damage after exercise.
Hemp oil is excellent not only for people with sensitive skin, but also with complications of capillary mesh - by strengthening the walls of blood vessels, this oil has an anti-cuperose effect.
Thanks to its antioxidants, hemp oil has been successfully used as a prophylactic treatment.

A surprising property of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is that it can be used as a treatment for brain cancer. Laboratory research conducted in 2008 by a combined team of scientists from Spain, France and Italy showed that THC causes human glioma cells to die, or provoke autophagy (self-digestion). The study showed that through the same biochemical processes, THC can destroy different types of cancer.

It has also been shown that cannabioids can utilize different mechanisms, inhibiting cell growth, inducing cell death, and inhibiting the spread of metastases. What is interesting is that by killing cancer cells, cannabioids do not affect healthy cells and can even protect them from cell death.

There are opinions that no chemotherapy currently used in the treatment of cancer compares to the anti-carcinogenic and anti-tumor properties of the cannabiod compounds found in the natural plant. In 1991, after a survey of thousands of leading oncology specialists, it was found that 60% of doctors consider it necessary to prescribe Cannabis for the treatment of side effects from chemotherapy.
