Hemp oil
Hemp Oil
Hemp oil (pronunciation: /hɛmp ɔɪl/), also known as hempseed oil, is a clear green oil made from cold-pressing hemp seeds. It is different from cannabidiol (CBD) oil, which is an extract of the cannabis plant and utilizes hemp flowers and leaves for its production.
Etymology
The term "hemp oil" is derived from the plant species Cannabis sativa, commonly known as hemp. The word "hemp" is from Old English hænep, from Proto-Germanic *hanapiz, from the same Scythian word that cannabis is derived from.
Usage
Hemp oil is used in a variety of products including dietary supplements, skin products, clothing, and accessories. It is known for its high nutritional value due to its healthy fats and mineral content. There has also been a fair amount of research showing that CBD, which hemp oil contains, may have positive effects on certain health conditions.
