How Can We Help?
New Zealand Govt. Now Allowing Hemp Seeds For Human Consumption
New Zealand government now allowing hemp seeds for human consumption
This is a great step towards recognising the cannabis plant for its health benefits and acknowledging there is more to the plant than getting high. While hemp oil containing CBD still remains illegal, we should see growth in hemp production and hemp products as growers and producers can now properly market their products to the people of New Zealand. We’re now seeing more hemp products in shops and new hemp stores opening up like Hemp Wellness.
Health Benefits of Hemp Seeds
Extremely Nutritious
Hemp seeds contain over 30% fat, rich in linoleic acid (omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3). More than 25% of the total calories from hemp seeds are from high quality protein.
They are a great source of vitamins and minerals such as potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin E and phosphorus. (1)

CBD Oil for Anxiety
Extracted from the cannabis plant or hemp, cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural and safe way to control anxiety and its symptoms. The known effects and benefits of this amazing natural product have been accepted for thousands of years and yet only recently have researchers started to put resources into understanding the science of it.
How CBD Can Help With Concussions
Many people suffering from the long-term effects of concussions are turning to CBD for alleviation of symptoms and recovery. Concussions are common in people involved in vehicle accidents, in kids and adults who accidentally fall, and most common among sports persons, particularly those who play contact sports such as rugby. While some people have short-term symptoms and recover on their own, others have long-term symptoms that require medical assistance. Since typical medication only alleviates symptoms temporarily, many people are turning to CBD since it helps brain cells to recover and alleviates most symptoms.
CBD for Pets
All pets need to be properly taken care of. Those of us who have been lucky enough to have had pets since childhood had this drummed into by our parents. A pet is for life and the life of the pet has value, even purpose. Grooming, feeding, exercise and bathing are all part of pet ownership and of course providing a place the animal considers home is essential. However, as pet health has become more understood, mental issues and conditions in pets have been noted and have become something pet owners are becoming aware of. Because of this pet care has become even more important with more to take into consideration.
