Hemp seed oil can have many benefits for the body, such as fighting neuropathic pain, treating nausea caused by a tumor, and temporarily relieving symptoms associated with glaucoma. There are several ways of taking (including liquids and tablets) to control pain and discomfort. It is also possible to use this oil in the kitchen to take advantage of its benefits in a general way. Just make sure you don't heat it: in addition to losing a lot of properties, it tends to burn quite easily.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Using Hemp Seed Oil for Pain Relief
Step 1. Use hemp seed oil based tincture
It is available in herbal medicine and online. Hemp seed oil is usually sold in bottles that come with a screw-on dropper cap. Pour 1 or 2 drops under your tongue, then wait 60-80 seconds before swallowing. Using your tongue, transfer any dye residue to your cheeks.
- If the bottle does not have a dropper cap, pour a small amount of the tincture on your finger, then place it under your tongue.
- Some tinctures are flavored with essential oils or herbs. Choose a flavor to your liking.
- Since the taste of hemp seed oil can be reminiscent of grass or earth, you may want to accompany it with some fruit juice to disguise it.
Step 2. Vaporize the hemp seed oil
You can use a refillable e-cigarette to inhale vaporized hemp seed oil. You just have to make sure you have the right equipment on hand. It is possible to use any base for electronic cigarettes, but the tank in which you pour the oil must be specially designed for the consumption of this product. You can also buy a specific hemp seed oil for vaping, which is mixed with additives.
It is advisable to go to a shop specializing in the sale of electronic cigarettes or in hydroponic cultivation to find out which are the best equipment or liquids. A salesperson will be able to advise you on how to buy the right oil or the most suitable equipment for vaping
Step 3. Apply hemp seed oil to the skin
If you suffer from dryness or skin inflammation due to a condition such as eczema, topical application of hemp seed oil can help relieve the symptoms. Just pour a small amount on the areas you want to treat and massage it. You can repeat the application during the day according to your needs.
Topical hemp seed oils come in various textures, so you may need to experiment to find the one that works best. Whichever type you choose, it should work in much the same way
Step 4. Take hemp seed oil to relieve nausea caused by cancer therapy
Some patients find it effective in relieving nausea and feeling better. You should consult with your doctor to determine in what form the oil should be taken (tincture or capsules). The method and quantity to be taken vary according to the diagnosis, associated symptoms and previous treatments.
Make sure you take it following your doctor's directions to the letter
Method 2 of 2: Using Hemp Seed Oil in the Kitchen
Step 1. Make a hemp seed oil based salad dressing
You can use it like any other oil, such as olive oil. To make a simple garlic and hemp seed oil salad dressing, mix the following ingredients: 60 ml of hemp seed oil, 60 ml of white wine vinegar, 4 chopped garlic cloves and a pinch of pepper. Let them sit for an hour for the ingredients to blend well, then use the dressing as you wish.
Leftovers can be kept in the fridge
Step 2. Add hemp seed oil to your favorite hummus
Having an earthy flavor reminiscent of dried fruit, hemp seed oil can be added to hummus to enrich its taste and at the same time take advantage of all its benefits. Just add a few drops of hemp seed oil to a cup of your favorite hummus and mix well.
Step 3. Make the pesto with hemp seed oil
Since pesto has an intense and earthy flavor, it goes very well with hemp seed oil. Using a food processor, mix 2 cups of grated Parmesan cheese, 2 cups of fresh basil, 4 tablespoons (60 ml) of oil, 4 cloves of garlic and ½ tablespoon of sea salt. Blend until you get a smooth cream.
Step 4. Use hemp seed oil to flavor the popcorn
Just like other flavored oils, hemp seed oil also helps flavor popcorn. Prepare them with a popcorn machine, then pour in a drizzle of hemp seed oil and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well and serve.
