What is Cannabis Oil?

Hemp oil is a vegetable oil made by pressing the dried, mature fruit of hemp, Cannabis sativa, from the mulberry plant.

Hemp oil has a high content of unsaturated fatty acids, usually above 85%, which is one of the highest unsaturated fat content in common edible vegetable oils. Flaxseed oil is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, of which the ratio of linoleic acid and linolenic acid is 2.4:1, and this ratio is considered to be the optimal ratio required for normal metabolism of the human body. Hemp oil also contains a high content of vitamin E. Therefore, hemp oil has the relief of constipation, antioxidant, and anti-aging effect, but also can significantly enhance learning and memory ability. Modern research has also found that the rich oils in jute oil can also be used to treat cervical cancer and inhibit the growth of lung cancer in mice. Therefore, jatropha oil also has a certain anti-tumor effect.
