Enhance Your Skin Health with Hemp Oil

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive component of the marijuana
plant, but can also be found on hemp plants. The major difference is
the amount of cannabidiol that can be extracted from each plant;
cannabis flowers extract about 150,000 ppm while hemp plants extract
just 25 ppm.

In 1940, Roger Adams was the first to analyze a cannabis flower’s
components. The structure of the cannabidiol component was not fully
understood until 1963. Early on, THC was the main component that
researchers and studies covered because of its interesting
properties, and all other aspects of the flower were virtually
irrelevant. People were intrigued by THC because of its psychoactive
abilities that aren’t seen in any other parts of the plant.

This was unfortunate because they had no idea the therapeutic effect
that cannabidiol, and a number of other cannabinoids, naturally was
capable of.

Cannabinoids have since been studied and analyzed and are proving to
have a significant, beneficial impact on chronic skin conditions.
Cannabidiol has played a major role in regulating inflammation, and
now, it may be the answer to treating eczema and psoriasis.

Studies have shown that like the skin, the gastrointestinal tract is
one of the primary physical barriers of the immune system, and it has
a fruitful source of cannabinoid receptor sites. Further research is
showing that the human body’s skin has its own Endocannabinoid
System (ECS). The ECS is known to regulate all sorts of systems in
your body, like the immune system. The skin’s ECS helps control
processes like proliferation, differentiation, and cell death.
Researchers are finding that an imbalance within the skin’s ECS may
be triggering certain skin conditions like eczema, thus, needing
cannabidiol to effectively balance out the system.

In 2007, a study was published that showed how cannabinoids
demonstrated effectiveness in inhibiting the production of skin cells
in the top layer of our skin. The results from this study showed
cannabinoids do have a positive role in inhibiting proliferation and
could be a possible treatment for psoriasis.

A study published in The Federation of American Societies for
Experimental Biology (FASEB) Journal, researched how cannabinoids
create lipids that can help treat skin conditions like acne and dry
skin. This is positive for the wide scale, public use of CBD oil
infused skin products that can be used daily. But if you’re
interested, be sure you are buying legitimate cannabidiol.

Sometimes we see hemp oil labeled as a product or component of hemp
seeds, but this is misleading and usually only done so manufacturers
can get around legalities. Most mislabeled cannabidiol that is found
in these products are a result of large-scale hemp stalk and fiber
processing facilities in Europe. Small traces can be found in these
products as a result of cannabis flowers and leaves being mixed in
with the hemp stalks during their processing for fiber.

It’s important that you do your research and ask questions about
certain products. Find a trusted provider so you’re sure you’re
receiving the maximum health benefits that you can get.
