HEMP not only helps hormonal health but aid weight loss and boost metabolism

Ambar Bhattacharya, Takmaa, Kolkata, 19th Oct 2021 : Bombay Hemp Co is a Mumbai based company which cares for nutrition, health and hearts. We have some questions with solutions which may help the readers for more understanding how Hemp works.

1. What are the composites which HEMP has for health and nutrition? What are the best products that HEMP has for health? and what are the benefits?

To begin with, I would like to talk about Hemp Seeds or and Hemp Hearts, that come without the shells, Hemp Seed Oil, and Hemp-based Protein. Hemp Seeds have a perfect balance of essential fatty acids such as Omega 3, Omega 6, in the ratio of 3:1. In terms of fatty acids, there is an optimal range that has been shown to empower powerful immune responses and also boost immunity internally. The healthy ratio of Omega and Hemp Seeds helps reduce Inflammation. Hemp seeds are an extremely rich source of an acid known as the Gamma-Linolenic Acid, which is an unsaturated fatty acid having anti-inflammatory effects. Along with this, because it also has a high content of GLA, studies have shown this to be an effective solution to reduce symptoms of menopause and regulate hormonal imbalances. GLA is an Omega-6 fatty acid and it is very beneficial for the human body. It not only is helpful with one’s hormonal health but it can also aid weight loss and boost human metabolism. It will catalyze the body tissue to burn calories for energy and to keep warm.

Moving to Hemp Seed Oil, with the presence of Polyunsaturated fatty acids- which is a highly enriched content, has been proved beneficial for Cardio-vascular health.

Several studies have been conducted globally that show that the Hemp Seed Supplement Diet can assist the heart tissues in ELA Levels and control cardio-vascular risks.

The third element, I’d like to mention is the Hemp Seed Protein. This is derived from the seed and has about 25%-30% of protein, out of which most of it is a protein called Edestin which is highly digestible and bio-available.

The biggest and common issue in vegetarian plant-based protein is its lack of digestibility, which is not the case with Hemp Seed Protein. This protein is not only entirely digestible but also contains all the essential amino acids required by humans, including Glutamic Acid and  Arginine Acid which are very important for human health.

Hemp seeds and Hemp seed powder are rich sources of Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese & Iron, helping with proper body functionality to prevent disease.

We were talking about hemp seed and hemp seed oil and the protein for health and wellness. Now moving on to Hemp Relief from the Cannabis Leaf, from which the cannabinoids such as THC and CBD are derived. THC majorly assist with pain and symptoms attached to pain such as Nausea, Insomnia, and so on.

And CBD is a cannabinoid that majorly focuses on providing an anti-stress or anti-anxiety response to the human body whilst reducing inflammation. These work because they successfully activate existing receptors in the human body such as CB-1 & CB-2 Receptors that are present in the Central Nervous System as well as within the cut and several other parts of the body. This helps in reducing the perception of pain in the patients as well.

This is the composite breakup of how hemp seeds-based products and hemp leaf-based products act in favor of the wellness and health of the patient.

2. What does HEMP produce?

Coming to what Hemp or the Cannabis Plant produces. The plant is divided into 4 primary parts of raw materials. One is the Stalk/Fiber, second is the Seed, third is the Leaf and 4th is the Flower.

The fiber/stalk is used for a wide range of Industrial applications such as Textiles globally. Such as compay’s like ours, that have used it in fabrics, yarns, garment based, upholstry and furnishing based and a range of different applications. Along with this the fiber has globally been used as a composite material in cars and automobile. It has been used as a construction or a building material and also been used domestically in India in a historic manner. Globally it is used to make ropes, twines etc. Basically amongst the stalk, the seed, the leaf and the flower, there are almost 15K total Industrial as well as Medical uses spread across in 18 different industries. India has been tapping a few of them.

At a domestic level, even in India we have tried experiments where we have created craffine like substances from the raw fiber/stalk from hemp plant. In countries like China, they’ve used the hemp fiber to create their military grade uniforms.

The stalk/fiber is majorly around textiles, composite materials, building materials, ropes etc..

The seed is used for food-grade products and cosmetic-grade products, majorly because the seed oil is very good for skin health.

As mentioned earlied food grade products like the Hemp Seed is on par if not better than most plant based food products.

What’s interesting is the Hemp Seed oil can also be used in food & cosmetics, but in global countries there have been experiments where it has been used as conventional bio fuel type material. It has also been used in paints and varnishes and a wide range of other applications as well.

Coming to the final 2 parts, the leaf and the flower. These 2 parts are majorly focused around the medical and therepeutic purposes of the hemp plant. As mentioned there are cannabinoids or chemical compounds within the leaf and the flower.

The proportion is less in the Leaf comparared to the Flower. These cannabinoids such as CBD,CBG,THC,CBM have been globally studied, researched as well as approved in India.

From the Ayurvedic Medicine point of view from the leaf have been studied researched and approved for their use for Pain based disorders, anxiety based disorders, stress based disorders,reproductive health issues, chronic and non chronic pain, Inflammation, Sleep Management, Appetite Management, Nausea, Vomiting and awhole range of areas.

3. What are the best products that HEMP has for health? and what are the benefits? How HEMP products help Skincare, Makeup and Haircare So the best products from hemp for health are majorily the hemp seeds, the seed oil, and the protein, as mentioned the hemp seeds are rich source of amino acids, exceptionally rich in two essential fatty acids, linoleic acid (omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3). They also contain gamma-linolenic acid, which has been linked to several health benefits. In sort of a 3:1 ratio which are very helpful for managing  cardiovascular conditions, manging blood presussre ,improving inherent immunity or the immune system over the course. Hemp seed oil also contains a very rich source of vitamin E which also contributes very positively to diet and lifestyle element or diet and health element using it, in the garnishing manner, as to sprinkle on top of salad or maybe use it as garnishing oil with any of your food items. Where as hemp seeds can be consumed in similar ways, it can be consumed with khichdi, muesli, basically in a way we similarly consume flex seeds. The hemp seed protein is also very good for health it is offering very strong alternative to convententional plant based proteins , complementing to existing proteins that exist to people who are mindful of health. When it comes to lifestyle perspective as mentioned the hemp seeds oil also has a dual purpose it can also be used as a cosmetic oil as vitamins and fatty acids within it are very useful for the skin they keep the skin healthy and prevent breakouts and because there is abundance of fatty acids it prevents from inflammation and oxidation it also improves balanced hydration, and minimize signs of aging and it is also belived that oil is useful for treatment of skin related issues . The cannabinoids that are present in hemp leaf that is cbd which is one of the cannabinoids also anti-flammatory in nature and because of its anti flammatory properties it can reduce trigger sof certain skin related dieseas and reduce appearance of skin irritation and help sentive skin as well. The hemp seeds oil also helps hydrating skin and keeps it well protected during summer season as well.

4. What are the fabrics made with and the quality with availability in Kolkata

So the fabrics that are majorly made are made with cotton fibers that are derives from the stock of the hemp plant which is then converted into yarn and then fabrics. At boheco we also have a property called hemp fabric lab which is the world’s first extensive collection and a lab of different range fabrics, different cuts and different sizes as well. We have pure blended 100 percent hemp based fabrics as well as blended with organic cotton and blended with other natural fibers . For range of garment as well as non garment based applications the advantage of course naturally the hemp fabrics have gained over the time is that they are lot more breathable as compared to other natural fibers and natural fabrics lot more absorbent, odour resistent, hyper allergenic, UV resistant, much more durable, strong and water resistant. Compared to conventional synthetics these last for a much longer period. This is also a very unique advantage.
