HEMPSEED OIL ~ Books of Shadows

Hempseed Oil

The Green Gold Mine of Essential Fatty Acids
For thousands of years the Cannabis plant has been used
for culinary and medicinal purposes throughout the world.
Hemp has been used in China since 4,000 B.C.

Hemp has innumerable uses: rope, twine, cloth, paper,
food, medicine, oil, and more.
There has been a resurgence in interest in this beneficial
plant which has only recently been allowed to flourish
in North America, without the interference
of politically repressive forces.

Industrial hemp, unlike its counterpart marijuana,
is extremely low in THC.
There is a microscopic amount that is legally allowed
as a residue in hemp seed oil in Canada which is 10 p.p.m.
(parts per million)(u/g).
This minuscule amount has no psychoactive effect.

When the seed of the hemp plant are cold-pressed,
it yields an oil that has a delicious and remarkable
sweet nutty taste that is appreciated
by both gourmet and health minded folks alike.

Not only does hemp seed oil taste good,
but it is a green gold-mine of the health enhancing
omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids
(LA, LNA) and GLA.

Organic hemp seed oil, is considered to be the #1 nutritional
oil for health, because it has the highest and most complete
profile of essential fatty acids (EFA's, good healthy fats).
First cold-pressed organic hemp seed oil is Nature's own
healthy blend of omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids.
And unlike most flax seed oil, hemp seed oil does not
go rancid quickly.

Here is what the experts say about hemp seed oil:

It has the ideal ratio ( 3:1 )
of omega 6 to omega 3 essential fatty acids.

"Nature's most perfectly balanced oil":
Udo Erasmus (author: Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill)

Hemp seed oil is the highest oil in essential fatty acids:
75-80% total EFAs.

"An edible oil with superior
nutritional and therapeutic properties"
...Dr. Andrew Weil.

Hemp seed oil should always be used raw, uncooked.
Hemp seed oil can be used in all of your favorite healthy
recipes that do not involve cooking: for example:
salad dressings, dips, pesto, hummous, guacamole,
shakes, and smoothies.
Or hemp seed oil can be taken directly:
1 or 2 Tablespoons per day as a nutritional supplement
of health supporting essential fatty acids.
