The health benefits of marijuana are now getting a good deal of attention. Yet hemp - a close relative of marijuana - is actually a far richer source of CBD (Cannabidiol), the compound responsible for effectively treating dozens of disorders and contains very little THC, the substance responsible for marijuana's highs. In the UK, Hemp products including seeds, oil and fibre are all legal but must be produced under license. Best-selling author, Earl Mindell, has written HEALING WITH HEMP OIL, a straightforward book that will help you to use this valuable natural remedy to improve your health. The book begins by looking at the important role the hemp plant has played in both Eastern and Western societies as a source for paper, textiles, rope and so much more. This is followed by a discussion of the science behind CBD's medical benefits. The author then provides a consumer's guide to buying hemp products - especially its oil and its CBD supplements - and offers an eye-opening examination of hemp's legal status in the United States, from the 1900s to now. Finally, based on up-to-date studies, Dr. Mindell presents an A-to-Z guide to the many uses of hemp oil and CBD for various health conditions, from arthritis to depression to heart disease. HEALING WITH HEMP OIL guides you in using this all-natural substance as a safe, side effect-free remedy.
