Hemp is one of the oldest industrial plants used by mankind for thousands of years. From the beginning, it was grown for its fiber or seed. In Eastern and Southeastern Europe, this fiber plant was probably introduced by the Scythians. Archaeological excavations confirm that hemp has been grown in the Carpathian Basin for almost nine thousand years. Its use for medicinal purposes has received the most attention in the last three decades. Most of the cannabidiol (CBD) molecule extracted from its inflorescence has been the focus of research.

The effectiveness of CBD is now supported by a number of scientific publications, a series of clinical trials, drug development, and the high number of patients who have been helped.

The healing effect of hemp is mainly due to the presence of groups of molecules in the plant called cannabinoids, and secondarily to the presence of omega-3, omega-6 and other essential fatty acids in the seeds. Of the more than a hundred cannabinoid molecules discovered to date, the aforementioned CBD stands out, both in its amount of occurrence and in its therapeutic effect.

The endocannabinoid (ECS) system, discovered in the early 1990s, is a complex signaling system in living organisms that, through its extremely broad scope, has a major impact on our health, according to recent research.

The endocannabinoid system plays an important role in regulating and balancing many physiological processes, thus influencing cell growth, survival, etc.

The role of endocannabinoids (anandamides) produced in the body has also been shown in to reduce pain, both physiological and pathological. In the case of more severe or difficult-to-treat “major diseases” (epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Tourette's syndrome, Chron's disease, reduction of cancer and the negative effects of chemotherapy,… etc.) and other minor health problems that negatively affect quality of life (migraine, menstrual cramps, insomnia, indigestion, chronic pain,…, etc.)

CBD has also been shown to be effective and is a strong antioxidant

CBD oil is produced by a variety of processes, with very significant differences in quality and therapy between the resulting CBD products.

Hempire-Shop products contain only full-spectrum hemp oil, as opposed to CBD oils containing just CBD isolate

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FULL SPECTRUM AND ISOLATED CBD OIL?

In addition to CBD, full-spectrum hemp oil contains other cannabinoids and many more valuable plant compounds. For example, terpenes, flavonoids, chlorophyll, essential fatty acids, omega-3, omega-6, which are valuable active ingredients for the human body.

In contrast, most CBD oils available on the market contain only one component of the total active ingredient content, CBD. These are called isolated CBD oils.

WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT CANABIDIOL AND THE ENDOCANNABIDOID SYSTEM?

The human body responds to cannabinoids in the cannabis plant because it itself produces natural cannabinoids. These endocannabinoids (anandamide) help to create and maintain human health. This endocannabinoid system in the body has many important biological functions.

It affects appetite, mood, locomotor behavior, reproduction, and many other functions. The endogenous cannabinoid system, named after the plant that led to its discovery, is perhaps the most important physiological system that related to the establishment and maintenance of human health. Endocannabinoids and their receptors are found in the body in the brain, organs, connective tissues, glands, and immune cells. In each tissue, the cannabinoid system performs different functions, but the goal is always the same, to maintain homeostasis, that is, to maintain a stable internal system despite fluctuations in the external environment.

Research is providing ever more evidence for the amazing healing properties of cannabinoids. Cannabis plant cultivation and support for ongoing scientific research could lead to the development of multiple strains of cannabis specifically aimed at achieving high doses of cannabinoids and thus serve as a safe cure in the fight against a variety of diseases.

The use of medications made from medical marijuana and cannabis derivatives will become more widespread in the treatment of diseases such as cancer, epilepsy, chronic pain, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, insomnia, depression, etc. Cannabis may be one of the most useful natural remedies for human disease treatment.

CBD for pets

CBD is also great for pets because they also have an endocannabinoid system, just like humans.

SIDE-EFFECTS

CBD can be given to animals without side effects.

CBD OIL DOSAGE FOR PETS

Dogs and cats are sometimes much smarter than we might think. We know not all pets allow us to drip right into their mouths. If this fails, you can also drip CBD oil into the animal’s food or reward bite.

We recommend 3% Hempire Shop CBD oil for light pets (dogs, cats). For larger animals weighing more than 100 kg, it is given our oil with a concentration of 5% CBD.

For dogs and cats, the recommended maximum dose is 2-3 drops / 10kg per day (eg 5-7 drops of 3% Hempire Shop CBD oil per day for a dog weighing 25kg). We recommend starting the dosing gradually so you can see how your pet responds to the oil. If positive, you can increase the dose slowly. For puppies and kittens, we recommend a maximum of 1-2 drops a day.
