A number of hemp-based products are being developed for everyday use
The negative stigma that long encircled hemp, cannabis and marijuana is finally dissolving. As the truth emerges about the positive traits of the cannabis plant, more people are realizing that they have been misled over the decades, and that the natural plant is not as evil as many wanted the world to believe. There is a growing number of products made from hemp that are beginning to surface and six, in particular, can be added to everyday life without any effort. Given that hemp is all natural, it’s a great way to become more eco-friendly.
One example is with clothing. Hemp fiber is extremely lightweight and absorbent, as well as cost-effective. It is three times stronger than cotton and hemp crops require half the amount of water as cotton, helping to conserve the valuable resource. Because of its rapid growth, one acre of hemp can produce tons of fiber in as little as just four months.
Using hemp oil as a mouthwash can strengthen the teeth and gums. It can help prevent gingivitis and also combat bad breath. Since hemp oil contains anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, it makes a great alternative to prevent cavities and tooth decay.
Hemp oil can make your skin silky smooth. The Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids in the oil will also prevent wrinkles and can also be effective in treating psoriasis and eczema.
Each year, Americans use over 90 million tons of paper and paperboard. This is a lot of trees that have to be cut down and even recycling products to make paper requires a considerable amount of energy. However, hemp paper, which was used widely in the 1800s, can be produced faster, more economically and more efficiently than paper made from trees. In a 20-year cycle, one acre of hemp is capable of producing the same amount of paper as ten acres of trees. Trees can take decades to grow, while hemp is ready to be processed within four months.
It shouldn’t be surprising that hemp oil is perfect as a wood finish. It can be used on floors, furniture, cabinets or anything else and can revive older furniture to give it an amazing look.
A bad hair day could be a thing of the past thanks to hemp oil. Shampoos and conditioners that contain the oil can moisturize and nourish the hair and scalp, as well as strengthen it to prevent breakage. Hemp oil has been shown to stimulate the body’s production of keratin, the main ingredient in hair.
Try the products for yourself and see the difference. There’s absolutely nothing to lose, and a world to gain.
