Hemp Oil & CBD : A Concise, Straightforward Beginners Guide to Hemp Oil & CBD for Better Health, Better Mood and Faster Healing
Hemp and CBD oils, while coming from the same plant, have different areas of origin and different composition. The two oils have different uses and the mechanisms of procuring these oils are also different. For Hemp Oil, while the plant is still Cannabis Sativa, it is one with reduced tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) to ensure that the effects of THC are minimized. Hemp oil comes from the seeds of the plant and is pressed out from the said leaves with some application of heat along the way. The oil contains minimum levels of the active ingredients as both CBD and THC levels are lowered thanks to the choice of plant species and the type of extraction method. Hemp oil can be used quite regularly because of the low amounts of active ingredients.
CBD oil is produced from the leaves, stems and buds/flowers of the Cannabis Sativa plant. The mechanism of extraction requires application of maximal amount of heat to ensure decarboxylation. This particular product contains CBD in higher quantities and since the component has medicinal value, it is stored away for more medical usage rather than a regular use.
Chemical Makeup and Effects
Cannabis Sativa has different chemical components that vary in the whole species and incidentally have different effects i.e. not every component of the group would act towards making the subject gain a high. Similarly, the route of entrance into the body has an effect on how the body would engage with the substance.
There are two different types of cannabis mainly and these are:
Indica- Stubby plants with large leaves, high in cannabidiol content.
Sativa- Tall with thin leaves, high in THC content.
Following are the different chemical components of Cannabis Sativa:
Delta 9- tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)
This is reportedly the psychoactive component that causes the psychological changes for a brief period. These effects are far and wide and include reduction and sometimes absence of short term memory, loss of understanding time passage and sedation. This same component is involved in reducing pain and nausea because body has corresponding receptors. This component has been shown to cause anxiety while the other components counteract this particular effect of cannabis as a whole. This component causes fast heart rate and higher blood pressure. This very same component regulates the digestive track by increasing food cravings and metabolism. The pain relief for glaucoma and cancer patients is high.
Terpenes
These components provide the plant with its distinctive scent.
CBD
This is a cannabinoid that affects differently than the THC component. This chemical often regulates the metabolism of THC. Effects and uses include inflammation reduction, control of immune system, muscular relaxation, preventive effect on seizure, involuntary movement reduction,anxiety reduction,lowering of heart rate and blood pressure,psychological drugs, nerve protection antioxidants, nausea reducer,. There is also an associated benefit in cases of lung cancer, glaucoma and glioma.
Considering that the oil is derived from the plant, it can be assumed that all the chemical components will become apparent in the oils and the user would be accordingly affected but as luck would have it, this is not the case since the makeup of the two products is as following:
Hemp Oil
It is composed of:
Fatty Acids
- Linoleic Acid
- Eicosenic Acid
- Eicosadenoic Acid
- Alpha- Linoleic Acid
- Gamma- Linoleic Acid
- Oleic Acid
- Eicosanic Acid
- Stearic Acid
- Palmitic Acid
Natural Elements
- Cannabidiol (10mg/kg)
- THC (minute) (50mg/kg in cold pressed oil)
- Myrcene
- Beta- Caryophyllene
- Beta- Sitosterol
- Alpha- tocopherol
- Gamma- tocopherol
- Methyl salicylate
CBD
CBD while possibly present in an isolated form, differs in composition based on the type of the product used. If a medicinal CBD would be used by the person, the composition would have a low amount of THC. If however the regular CBD is brought for the use in following applications, the CBD would contain higher amounts of THC. THC can prove to be therapeutic at low levels.
CBD Oil
This oil naturally contains CBD chemical in high amounts as the making of this oil ensures that all the other chemical components of Cannabis buds and leaves are left behind and majorly CBD remains in the oil.
The Good
Hemp oil and CBD can be used in a number of medical conditions, especially CBD oil. It should be remembered that the conditions mentioned in the following sections and the effects noted as a result, while true, were not necessarily healed by the use of oil. But it should also be remembered that these materials are present in the Hemp oil and CBD itself is a strong material, considering the book only aims to guide the user to use of these substances that would prove helpful in, for the sake of their health. A doctor should be seen before following any of the mentioned route of action alone. These conditions are listed as following
Health
i. Vomiting- CBD use in cancer patients that suffer through the effects of the chemotherapy in the form of nausea and vomiting, have shown a real difference in their condition following the use of this product. The results have shown to be comparable with other contemporary drugs that help stop vomiting in patients.
ii. Glaucoma- The interocular pressure tends to rise in this condition and this pressure once relieved leads to alleviation of symptoms. This affect appears because of the presence of CB1 receptors in the ocular apparatus.
