Combining Essential Oils with Hemp: Maximizing What You Have

Essential oils with hemp and CBD

The Synergy of Terpenes and Cannabinoids

What is HEMP oil? Hemp produces terpenes in the same way that it produces cannabinoids. Terpenes are one of the leading hemp-derived oil ingredients, an oily substance that gives certain cannabis varieties different flavors - citrus, berry, mint, coniferous, etc. Medical research on cannabis is usually focused on cannabinoids, and very little is known about the aromatic components of the plant. However, the crumbs of information that scientists have collected are enough to understand that terpenes are the next frontier in research on hemp's healing properties.

Essential oils also contain various terpenes. In combination with HEMP, these elements have a positive effect on the human endocannabinoid system and enhance each other's effect. Thus, by mixing hemp-derived oil with essential or base oils, you increase each impact of the components, which will bring more benefits in general.
