1). Hemp Oil Helps Relieve Pain & Anxiety

Is separation anxiety or any type of physical pain a major issue for your furbaby? Well hemp has been extensively studied for its effect on stress, anxiety and chronic pain. Here are a few studies done on humans that illustrate how effective hemp can be in tackling these problems:

- Reduces anxiety caused by public speaking

- Reduces anxiety in both healthy people and people with anxiety disorders

- Decreases pain (including neuropathy and nerve-related pain).

- Reduces inflammation

- Reduces intestinal inflammation (associated with irritable bowel disease)

2). Hemp Oil Reduces Inflammation

- It shrinks the production and release of inflammatory cytokines that can cause allergies, hypersensitivities and autoimmunity.

Hemp also suppresses the production of inflammatory macrophages, or inflamed cells that are found especially at sites of infection.

In addition, it is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the body from free radicals (harmful molecules).
