If you’re making your first steps into the world of cannabis, the difference between hemp oil and CBD oil may seem like a small issue at hand. However, despite the two often being used interchangeably, each has its own unique benefits and knowing your lingo can help you a great deal towards making the most out of them. The CBD oil is extracted from the leaves, flowers, and stalks of the cannabis plant. The cannabidiol – known as CBD – is just one of the hundreds of active compounds that are found exclusively in the cannabis plant. It has potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties which make it very effective at reducing pain and inflammation when applied topically. When ingested, it can also help reduce anxiety and promote a calmer mind. Hemp oil, on the other hand, is extracted from the seeds. It’s high in antioxidants, omega-3, and omega-6 fatty acids but doesn’t contain CBD, THC or CBN. In terms of industry regulations, the EU defines hemp as containing less than 0.2% THC (that number is less than 0.3% THC in Canada and the US). Because of that, it has no known anti-inflammatory or pain-relieving properties but is great for adding quality nutrition to your food and is a powerful skin moisturizer. In short, the hemp oil and CBD oil come from completely different parts of the cannabis plant and because of that, have completely different properties and benefits. So what’s the take-home message? Always make sure you read the label and be a savvy consumer. Look for labels that clearly state that the extract contains beneficial cannabinoids such as CBD or CBG or if you’re looking to reap the benefits of hemp oil, make sure you’re buying the right product.
