The Science behind Hemp

The naturally occurring active ingredient in hemp works with your body’s endocannabinoid system.  The endocannabinoid system is a vast signaling network of cannabinoid receptors interconnected throughout the body's tissue, glands, and organs.   This system is involved in a variety of physiological and cognitive processes including pain-sensation, immune system, detoxification pathways, appetite, nervous system, mood and memory.  When the endocannabinoid system is high-functioning, it promotes optimal health.

 

As science discovers more about the endocannabinoid system in the human body, more is learned about the immense health value that hemp-derived products can bring to the table. Extensive studies have been done in Europe and the US on the physical, emotional, and mental benefits of these products. High quality hemp-derived products are rapidly becoming a staple supplement used by millions of people who are seeking a natural alternative to pharmaceuticals.

 

Here are some of the highlights of how the active ingredient in hemp is being used around the world:

• To support a healthy response to stress 
• To stimulate mental clarity, greater focus, and cognitive function 
• To support anxiety and depression 
• For its anti-inflammatory properties (which the other ingredients in our tea also have!) 
• For muscle recovery 
• To Improve gut health and to assist irritable bowel syndrome
• To supports quality sleep cycles and deep rest
• As a tool for chronic pain management
• To support conditions that have epilepsy and seizures as side effects
• To assist substance abuse treatment
• To promote well-being in those with PTSD
• It’s even being studied to see if it can be used in oncology treatments. So far the data isn't conclusive but looks promising!
