Many people admit that they don’t know the difference between CBD oil and hemp oil, and this lack of clarity has prevented them from knowing which of these two to select for their needs. If you, too, aren’t sure of how CBD oil differs from hemp oil, read on and learn about these two products of the hemp plant.
CBD Oil
CBD oil is extracted from CBD flowers (buds) and stalks. These are the parts of the plant which have been found to have the highest concentration of the cannabinoid. The leaves which are closest to the buds also contain CBD, so these may also be included during the extraction process.
CBD oil works by interacting with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in the body. The ECS is responsible for maintaining homeostasis (balance) in the body by regulating hormones, mood, appetite, pain and the immune system response.
When you consume CBD, your body is better able to produce its own cannabinoids, and this in turn helps the body to function better. This could explain why CBD has been linked to a variety of medicinal effects which seem unrelated at first, but when you realize that this compound helps the body to function better, then it becomes clear why different systems of the body can benefit from CBD.
Hemp Oil
Hemp oil is extracted by compressing hemp seeds. While CBD oil could contain trace amounts of THC, hemp oil is totally free from this psychoactive compound.
Hemp oil contains high amounts of different vitamins, especially B vitamins. It also has potassium, magnesium and fatty acids, among other nutrients needed by the body.
Different manufacturers use this oil to make shampoos, soaps, lotions and many other cosmetic products. Hemp oil is also an ingredient used in the manufacture of paint, plastics, lubricants and other industrial products.
Hemp oil has been on the market for years because of its omega-3 and 6 fatty acids which are linked to keeping one looking youthful. The oil is also good for the skin since its fatty acids work in the same way that the natural oil found in skin works. Hemp oil is good for people with high cholesterol as the oil helps to boost your metabolism so that you burn off the excess fats in your body.
In short, both CBD oil and hemp oil have several health benefits that consumers can enjoy. Your specific situation may dictate which of these products is better for you, so it is advisable for you to talk to a knowledgeable person before you make your choice. Experts believe that while CBD industry players like Neutra Corp. (OTCQB: NTRR) and Organigram Holdings Inc. (TSX: OGI) (NASDAQ: OGI) are doing what they can to educate the public about these products, buyers should also do their own independent research if they are to get the best from what hemp oil and CBD oil have to offer.
