Hemp oils are extracted from the different parts of the hemp plant, such as the stalk and leaf. However, they are mainly taken from the flower.

And no, it is not psychoactive or intoxicating! It influences the body in several ways, which we will cover in the coming sections. 

Hemp seed oils, on the other hand, are extracted only from the seeds of the hemp plant. The seeds are cold-pressed to give out the oil, which is highly nutritious to consume. Hemp seed oils have a lower amount of cannabinoid compounds. What it does have, is a whole bunch of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support our well-being.

The endocannabinoid system we mentioned earlier reacts to cannabinoid compounds such as cannabidiol or CBD. Cannabinoids bind to different receptors in the endocannabinoid system to carry out various functions in the brain and body. You can think of them as messenger molecules in the body that send signals to the control systems that influence many factors. These include sleep, mood, appetite, heart health, brain health, and various pathological disorders.
