This long-controversial hemp molecule is now increasingly revered for its multiple benefits. Much more than just a fad, this relaxing (non-psychotropic) medicinal herb is popular for its soothing and analgesic effects but has only recently being heralded for treating many ailments which are too numerous to mention.

Our Hempco is a new company that was co-founded by Vesna Vrankovic, a former top model, who has worked internationally for over 20 years and rubbed shoulders with the likes of entrepreneurs such as Miranda Kerr and Jessica Alba. She is an advocate of a healthy lifestyle, and co-founded this company to promote this lifestyle and to let people know about the positive benefits of hemp in general.

The history of hemp

While it has long suffered from a bad reputation, with most people confusing it with “marijuana”, you should know that hemp has been grown by humans for its medicinal properties and its use as textile fibers. Today, a vast majority of the people are becoming aware the upside potential and understand that hemp is essential plant for our future. Very little water-intensive, hemp grows on its own and everywhere, without any chemical product and knows how to be useful in many fields: food, stationery, construction, cosmetics or even the pharmaceutical industry. Everything from this plant can be utilized, including its seeds, stems and especially its extracted oil.

And it is from this large green plant with many uses that CBD is extracted!

What is CBD?

A shorter abbreviation for cannabidiol, this molecule is one of the many cannabinoids (around two hundred according to the World Health Organization), present in the hemp flower, among which is also tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). But if these molecules are close, their effects differ. Unlike THC (classified among narcotics), CBD is legal with a rate of less than 0.2% THC (in accordance with UN law), it does not produce any euphoric effect. In other words, it does not get high, does not change the state of consciousness, is not addictive, and does not present any danger to health. It’s quite the opposite.

What are the benefits of CBD?

If CBD is enjoying such a craze, it is mainly because of its multiple benefits on our well-being in the broad sense.

And if there is a plethora of ways to consume CBD, in food supplements, e-liquid, herbal tea, candy, cream, the most common method is in its natural form of oil. Among the most natural and purest on the market available in different concentrations to meet individual needs are the ones produced by Our Hempco. To use it, most people like to keep a few drops under their tongue, which is sufficient for almost immediate effectiveness or to mix with food or to apply cutaneous.

CBD would be an effective anxiolytic, consumers have reported many positive effects on their level of stress, anxiety or the quality of their sleep. It would also have anti-inflammatory properties and help relieve joint pain such as arthritis, rheumatism, or those related to menstruation or migraines. CBD would contain antioxidant properties and protect the epidermis from environmental stress, pollution and relieve skin problems such as acne or eczema and psoriasis. It could also have benefits for treating problems like multiple sclerosis.

Be careful though, cannabidiol is not considered a “pharmaceutical drug”. CBD does not cure any pathological illnesses, it only alleviates the symptoms. Research on CBD is growing around the world to study the enormous potential of this molecule of happiness, and current studies tend to demonstrate the positive effects of CBD oil on our bodies.
