Hemp can also be used for fuel, construction materials, cattle feed, and animal bedding.

Nutritional Benefits of Hemp

Hemp seeds are high in essential fatty acids and amino acids, which are important to your diet. They can be eaten raw or made into flour, oil, or milk. The seeds are high in fiber, vitamins B, iron, and magnesium.

The leaves of the plant are also edible and can be used for salads or for making juice.

Inflammation and Insomnia

While more research is needed, some studies have shown hemp to improve sleep and lower inflammation in the joints. It may also promote bowel movements and lower blood pressure. Some people with arthritis have reported experiencing a significant reduction of pain and anxiety, plus improved sleep.

Always talk to your doctor before trying anything new to avoid potentially dangerous interactions with any of your prescribed medications.
