Hemp seeds are naturally rich in nutrients and fatty acids, but notably do not contain either cannabidiol (CBD) or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), regulated compounds which can be present in the plant once grown.

Hemp has been used since ancient times in Egypt, China and India to help with digestive problems, to balance hormones, for rheumatism, and to promote hair growth. Hemp seeds, oil and butter are commonly used today in cooking and preparation of food, as it is full of omegas, magnesium and other essential minerals.
