There seems to be a veil of mystery surrounding hemp and CBD products.
Let’s break it down. Cannabis Sativa has two variants: hemp and marijuana. Hemp contains CBD and a very small amount of THC. Marijuana contains both CBD and THC.
So, what’s the difference between hemp and CBD oil? Well, for starters hemp oil can be two different things — confusing, we know. Some describe hemp oil as a CBD-rich product that is extracted from special parts of the hemp plant. While other times hemp oil, also known as hemp seed oil, refers to a product with little to no CBD.
CBD oil can be derived from hemp or marijuana plants, is rich in CBD, and is used to address anxiety, pain, and other ‘wellness’ issues. Whatever you choose, make sure you read the label first to make sure you’re getting exactly what you want. Okay, let’s take a deeper dive into hemp oil vs CBD oil.
Hemp Seed Oil, What Is It And How Do You Use It?
As you might expect, hemp seed oil comes from hemp seeds and has little to no CBD content in it. In fact, the CBD content is so small that it is considered “non-existent.”
Hemp oil also has been shown to help your skin as well as benefit various skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis.
Hemp seeds have numerous other health benefits as well. They contain protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and omega fatty acids, all of which have been proven to be helpful for the body. When it comes to picking out CBD oil or hemp oil, it is important to consider what benefits you are after.
Each variety comes to the table with different reasons to be utilized. Hemp can be so valuable for people to use, and that’s why the industry is growing across the country and becoming more commonly accepted as an alternative type of medicine.
CBD Oil: Health Properties And More
Okay, now that we’ve covered hemp oil, let’s discuss CBD oil. CBD oil is the product that people often talk about in conjunction with alternative medicine and mental health. Here at Horn Creek Hemp, we have seen the benefits of this product first hand, which is what really led us to this business.
It is important to note that while CBD has many strong proponents, it is untested as a healing agent. We have our own experience which was very positive. We also have feedback from customers who use the raw material in a variety of ways. We would encourage you to do your research on the health benefits of CBD.
CBD oil is extracted and created differently than hemp oil. Meaning, the CBD oil primarily comes from the flowers of the hemp plant, which are the parts of the plant where cannabidiol is found. CBD oil can be extracted from either hemp or marijuana plants which are both different varieties of the cannabis plant. There are multiple ways that CBD oil can be extracted from the plant, and each method can create CBD oil.
So there you go! When it comes to differentiating between hemp oil vs CBD oil, each can help you out in different ways. And of course, we have some great Horn Creek Hemp products for you to check out!
