Hemp Oil: there is so much buzz right now around these little bottles of oil tinctures. You hear about hemp in just about every form of media these days: from the news, to articles circulating on social media, to Senate Bills being passed, and even on TV shows, hemp seems to be all anyone is talking about. So what’s the big deal? Well, here is what you need to know about hemp! First, it is a powerful antioxidant. In fact, hemp oil contains more antioxidants than most whole fruits and vegetables, as well as several key minerals and vitamins, like D & E as well as fatty acids. Second, hemp is amazing in terms of sustainability because of the short time it takes to grow. Where a tree can take many years to mature, hemp only takes approximately four months from plant to harvest. Hemp has many other uses other than just nutritional benefits. In fact, did you know that the first two drafts of the Declaration of Independence were written on paper made from hemp? Its fibers have a wide variety of applications from paper to plastic, fuel, clothing and rope. So if we have known about all the uses of hemp for so long, why does it seem to be the “next big thing” right now?
