The Hype about Hemp!
CBD OIL!
Firstly, hemp is considered a highly healing plant – and is widely used for its therapeutic properties and as a complementary therapy. I love the natural healing properties of plants and their contribution to holistic health, so I am glad to have the opportunity to test out this CBD oil for myself. So, I thought it was time to write up a post on this wonderful ingredient, its therapeutic properties are now widely known, and it is now legal for doctors to prescribe CBD for medicinal purposes. Not only that it is a sustainable and eco-friendly plant, growing and harvesting it does not damage the environment (I write more about that at the end of this blog post)!
CHOOSING HIGH-QUALITY CBD OILS
I am very conscious about the quality of the natural products I choose, and I am very impressed with BioBloom hemp; how pure the brands CBD oil is, and how they consciously harvest and process their oils to perfectly capture the benefits of the wonderous hemp plant.
The quality of a CBD oil is important if you want to access the active healing properties of this unqiue plant: so choosing the right oil is important. Unfortunately, as with all health products industry can cut corners, and you can find brands that dilute the CBD in coconut oils, that use chemical processes to extract the CBD etc. So, it is worth checking that the oil is certified organic, that it is pure CBD and that the company uses conscious harvesting and production methods!
BIOBLOOM CBD OIL:
Biobloom commits to a completely natural and sustainable approach to the cultivation & production of hemp plants and their CBD oils.
As stated on their website: Biobloom Hemp extract retains the therapeutic benefits of CBDa alongside CBD and a full spectrum of other cannabinoids and terpenes – as nature intended.
Biobloom Hemp’s ‘’150 hectare hemp crop is grown in fertile Australian soil, then harvested and processed by hand. The seed growing is ‘’managed and sowed in set rows, with set spacing to allow focus on the quality of each plant, and to allow optimal sun exposure. They only harvest the strongest healthy plants to guarantee highest possible quality.’’
They use CO2 extraction which is completely natural and means there is no harmful chemical residue contaminating the oils during the oils CBD extraction process. Biobloom is a certified CBD oil and has been awarded the Austrian and Hungarian BIO certificate for controlled organic farms.

Also, note that a balanced wholefood diet places an important role in healing and health recovery, and thus is helpful to consider alongside your relevant course of treatment.

SUSTAINABLE, ECOFRIENDLY HEMP
Also fun fact, did you know that hemp is a completely sustainable resources:
Hemp is good at sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and growing doesn’t require chemical pesticides which pollute and imbalance the PH of our soils.
”Hemp crops can be grown within nearly any type of soil and can handle most environments. They require very little water and don’t need any fertilizers or herbicides to stay healthy and excel.” – [Hemps impact on Carbon Dioxide].
As outlined by Hemp Meds, trees and hemp remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, however, trees take significantly longer to grow and require much more space. Hemp actually grows very quickly and can be planted close together, you can grow a lot more hemp on a plot of land than you can trees; so growing more hemp will have a greater impact on carbon dioxide absorption.
Hemp is a useful and versatile, natural and sustainable resource:
- One acre of hemp yields as much paper as 4 acres of trees in one growing season (~100 days)
- Hemp plastic is non-toxic and biodegradable. It is also much stronger than conventional plastic.
- Is used for sustainable farming! See: https://www.bettermeetsreality.com/is-hemp-sustainable-eco-friendly-for-clothing-fabric-textiles/
