Hemp rope for disc herniation and joint pain
From ancient times to the present day, hemp has a multitude of applications ranging from the production of paints, paper, construction materials, biodiesel, motor oils to medical products.
The first documented evidence of the use of hemp in medicine was found in medical texts in archaeological excavations from 2737 BC.
Hemp can grow almost anywhere and is resistant to different growing conditions.
It is rarely affected by pests or diseases, and in addition, it cleans the soil around it and kills weeds.
Our ancestors wore clothes made of hemp – hemp shirts, socks, pants, hats, belts, aprons and others.
They rarely suffered from some of the common diseases of modern times, such as osteoporosis, arthritis, osteoarthritis, spinal curvatures, spikes, neuritis.
Of course, the reasons for the high incidence of these diseases are complex, but undoubtedly the use of hemp in the past played some role in the prevention of these and other diseases.
In recent years, interest in natural remedies and methods has progressively grown and more and more people are looking for ways to heal in traditional medicine, where hemp occupies a significant position.
Hemp is grown in many parts of the world , with its main producers being France, Canada and China.
It has been banned for cultivation in the USA since 1950. Despite their qualities, the US government does not recognize the differences between industrial hemp and marijuana.
In fact, the US Drug Enforcement Agency classifies all varieties of cannabis as marijuana, making industrial hemp just as illegal regardless of its use.
Hemp seeds are extremely rich in protein, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids (one of the few plant-based sources of omega-3), omega-6 fatty acids, and more.
An interesting fact is that hemp fibers have the ability to block 50% more ultraviolet rays than cotton, for example.
It is important to note that there are some differences between hemp and marijuana.
The term hemp is used to refer to the fibers from the stem of Cannabis Sativa. Cannabis Sativa is a cannabis variety that is preferred for this purpose due to its long stems (they can reach over 6 meters in height).
Its fibers and seeds are used for the purposes of nutrition, textile industry, oils and others.
Marijuana is cannabis (Cannabis Indica), which is grown for the plant’s buds, which contain psychoactive compounds.
Industrial hemp contains less than 1% psychoactive substances, while marijuana contains up to 20% and more.
The difference in the content of psychoactive substances is due to the fact that industrial hemp is not grown to produce the buds in which these substances are concentrated.
No buds, no marijuana. In fact, industrial hemp contains cannabidiol, which actually reduces the effects of psychoactive substances.
