Get 'hooked' on marijuana cousin, healthful hemp seeds
Eaten any hemp lately? I have — for lunch. I sprinkled hemp hearts, which are raw, shelled hemp seeds, on top of a sweet potato. It was delicious. Hemp's nutty, buttery flavor blends wonderfully with the soft, smooth texture of a cooked sweet potato.

Spafinder Wellness 365 Releases Spa & Wellness Forecast for 2015
New York, NY (PRWEB) January 13, 2015
Spafinder Wellness 365™ today released its 12th report on the top 10 spa and wellness trends set to unfold in 2015 and beyond. In the sea of trends lists appearing each new year, the company’s definitive spa and wellness industry forecast is unique for taking a global view of what’s trending across the wellness landscape—including spa experiences, fitness, beauty, travel, nutrition and corporate wellness—and for providing in-depth information about each trend. READ FULL REPORT
“In our 12 years of trend-tracking, we have never seen spa/wellness concepts go so deep and global, be so meaningful and move in so many surprising, provocative directions,” said Spafinder Wellness, Inc.® Chief Brand Officer Mia Kyricos, who helped steer the research team, along with Susie Ellis, president of Spafinder. “Our goal is to provide an in-depth resource and help the industry make informed decisions by analyzing the social, cultural and economic shifts that fuel each trend.”
One trend that stood out as largely unthinkable even a few years back is the increasing adoption of cannabis as a source for healing ingredients and treatments. As a wave of medical/recreational marijuana legalization sweeps across the U.S. (soon in Uruguay and likely other global regions), cannabis is getting a “wellness makeover,” with new spa, beauty, travel and yoga applications.
The trends also take an unexpected turn, with wellness traditions from Islamic worlds ascending, and food and beauty ingredients and spa experiences from regions like the Middle East and Africa set to grab headlines. And there is a search for simplicity, with everything from retreats where silence comprises “Beyond the Stars” experiences to new master-planned “Wellness Communities & Cities” with “front porch” values like walking to work/school and growing one’s food. And in the “My Fitness. My Tribe. My Life.” trend, we see how boutique fitness/yoga will continue to transform the very ways people live, socialize, dress and travel by answering basic human needs for true community in an age of loneliness.
The report is developed by Spafinder Wellness, Inc. Research Director Beth McGroarty and Spafinder Wellness 365’s team of researchers, editors and industry experts. It is based on surveys with the company’s large network of consumers, travel agents and spa/wellness businesses conducted over the last year.
The top global spa and wellness trends for 2015 are:
FOREST BATHING: Mindfulness Meets Nature
The Japanese concept of forest bathing (“shinrin-yoku’) has nothing to do with water. It revolves around a deceptively simple practice: quietly walking, with a mind intent on the sounds, scents, colors and “feel” of the forest. Poetic? Yes. But it’s the medical evidence that’s taking it global: Chemicals that trees emit (phytoncides) show a long-lasting impact on people’s immune system markers. Look for more “forest therapy” trails, more doctors prescribing time in forests, more forest bathing programming at spa retreats and more chic “wild forest/nature” resorts, with seemingly as many wilderness guides as in national parks.
Check out: Blackberry Farm’s (Tennessee, U.S.) new “Deep Healing Woods” program or the stunning Treehotel (Sweden) focused on “the significance of trees for human beings.”
CANNABIS: New Spa & Wellness Connections
A wave of medical/recreational marijuana legalization is sweeping the U.S. (globally, Uruguay will be the first nation to legalize recreational usage in 2015). The upshot: an explosive “cannabusiness” market, giving this ancient, medicinal plant an upscale makeover. It’s moving from “dorm room to boardroom,” and new spa/wellness cannabis connections are proliferating. Look for more marijuana dispensaries adopting the look/services of spas; more cannabis “wellness tourism” with luxury spa experiences; new cannabis-branded day spas; more spas using non-high-inducing pain-relieving topicals and beauty products – and hemp seed and milk as hot superfoods.
Check out: one of the many spa-like dispensaries, Harborside Health Center (Bay Area, U.S.) and Primal Wellness, the first “cannabis day spa” (Denver, U.S.) and yoganja classes at House of Yoga (Toronto).
WELLNESS TRADITIONS FROM THE ISLAMIC WORLD: Beyond Hammams and Argan Oil
The world has been strikingly unable to “see” what the wellness traditions of the Islamic world offer (stretching from the Middle East to Africa and Asia), with its advanced food-as-medicine, and nature-based beauty and healing practices, refined for 1,000 years. But we predict more people will seek nutritional, beauty and “spa” traditions central to Islamic cultures in years ahead. Middle Eastern and African spices, grains and fruits will be the buzzed-about “superfoods,” ingredients used for both food and beauty (from camel’s milk to baobob fruit) will trend and spas will offer more experiences like rasul/mud treatments and sand bathing.
Check out: Blackseed-infused, Senegalese skincare line, Tiossan, the “Baobob Feel Good” treatment at London’s K West Hotel & Spa or the planned Zulal Destination Spa (Doha, Qatar, 2017), the first retreat to immerse guests in the wellbeing traditions from across the Islamic world.
INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: Blue Collar Wellness
Free massage breaks for garment workers at a factory in Sri Lanka. A smartphone app connected to a wellness program at headquarters reminds long-haul truck drivers of healthy menu options. These aren’t happening yet (and the first wave of workplace wellness programs has focused narrowly on white-collar, management employees). But as employers battle the chronic disease, obesity, pain, and musculoskeletal and mental disabilities that can hit “blue collar” workers the hardest expect to see more wellness programs designed for them in the future – and a greater openness to participation by these workers.
Check out: Volkswagen’s “industrial athlete” fitness program and the results of PPG’s “Creating a Culture of Health Initiative” offered at manufacturing sites worldwide.
WELLNESS HOMES, COMMUNITIES & CITIES
In 2007 Spafinder named “spa real estate” a top trend…then the recession hit, and most “live-at-the-spa” developments crashed too. Now the wellness living market is roaring back but new developments take the concept of a healthy home much further. Delos Signature Homes (U.S.) “bakes in” dozens of wellness features: from air/water purification systems to circadian rhythm lighting. Entire towns/cities are master-planned around a 365-degree concept of wellness, and a new, global “Well Building Standard” aims to do for human health in the built environment what LEED did for sustainable building – and not just for homes, but offices, schools and hospitals. After centuries of real estate development myopically focused on “curb appeal,” now health is the new wealth.
Check out: Lake Nona, a vast wellness community in Orlando, Florida, offering every aspect of a “well-lived” life, or Avira Medini (Johor, Malaysia, 2015) where every generation lives “in the heart of wellness.”
MY FITNESS. MY TRIBE. MY LIFE: Super-Social Fitness
This trend takes a timeout from the manic “rowing is the new spinning” breed of trend-spotting to ponder a new socio-cultural reality: More people’s boutique fitness brand/studio has become their “life.” Social fitness defines who you know, what you wear, where you travel–even how you raise your kids. But it’s a global loneliness epidemic, fueled by a surge in urbanization, single-person households, longer work hours, and lives spent in front of screens that will continue to spur the new directions for the “my fitness is my family” uber-trend.
Check out: booze-less morning dance-fitness parties like Morning Gloryville (London) or Daybreaker (Los Angeles).
SPA ON ARRIVAL (& EN ROUTE): The New Travel Ritual
It used to be that with vacation and business travel, spa treatments were perceived as a luxurious add-on. Now the new travel ritual is treatments (and other fitness/wellness experiences) done right at arrival, or en route at airports, to fight jetlag or to kick-start productivity. We’ll see the spa/wellness explosion at airports continue to take off; more hotels/spa resorts serving up free massages at check-in; more online apps and concierges that make booking on-arrival massages/classes easy; and more spas open later, earlier, and even 24/7.
Check out: Cheval Blanc Randheli (Maldives) free “Jet Lag Recovery” massage that kicks off all guest stay and an example of the new, superfine, public airport spas–Sha Wellness Clinic (Spain), one of the world’s top wellness retreats, is opening spas this March at the Madrid airport.
HYPER-PERSONALIZED BEAUTY: Made-for-Me Will Matter More
We’re no longer just consumers, we’re collaborators. In 2015 look for a shift from “This color looks good on me.” to “This color was made for me,” from “Is this moisturizer the best for my skin?” to “This moisturizer is perfectly formulated for me.” In every corner of beauty care new opportunities to customize our primping and self-care experience will arise. We’ll see more beauty brands using in-store computer technology to create personalized solutions, more online skin coaching and more spas will let clients create bespoke everything.
Check out: Skin Authority’s online “Skin Coach on Demand” program, Mink, a personal 3D makeup printer using cosmetic-grade inks or Sha Wellness Clinic (Spain) where DNA testing identifies the right nutrients for your skin.
GUT REACTION:
“Listen to your gut…” usually means follow your best instincts, but it is one of the hottest trends for 2015. Look for an ongoing focus on the science of the gut and efforts to prove that by altering its make-up (aka “microbiome”) we can take our health and beauty to new levels, improve our immunity and resilience, reduce our chances for obesity and even create a happy and healthy mind. We’ll see more testing that proves the link between our gut and how we look and feel; there will be no stopping the proliferation of probiotics in what we drink, eat and put on our skin; and more spas (some of who have been on to this for decades) will offer ways to heal our leaking guts.
Check out: FX Mayr Health Center (Austria) and Canyon Ranch’s “Gut Feelings: Gastrointestinal Health and Immune Function” (U.S.)
BEYOND THE STARS: Luxury Redefined
Extraordinary affluence, an appetite for the different and new, a zeal for documenting #epic experiences and the search for solitude and silence are fueling a new trend: the quest for “Beyond the Stars” experiences– where air light and breathing room are the new luxury, and authentic and novel destinations are the Holy Grail of travel. With this shift, the luxury travel industry will be challenged to top itself with even more spectacular offerings and dazzle us with spectacular offerings and experiences.
Check out: The Fregate Island Resort (Seychelles), The Brando (French Polynesia), Amenoi Resort (Vietnam) the recently re-born Golden Door (U.S.)–and for extraordinary opulence, Antara Palace Wellness Destination Spa (Cyprus)

Video Rating: 4 / 5
The Uses of Hemp
Hemp is a commonly used word for the Cannabis crop used in industry rather than the type of Cannabis used for recreational drug use. The simple definition of hemp is a herb. Industrial hemp is produced in many countries in the world, the major producers being Canada, France and China. Hemp is a bio mass which has widespread uses in many industries. It is used in textile industry, paper industry, biodegradable plastics, food and fuel.
Hemp can also be viewed as one of those products which support the objectives of Green Living. This is because hemp is one of those industrial products which do not need any pesticides or herbicides, besides prevent soil erosion and also produce oxygen. They can also be substituted for harmful products containing chemicals and dioxins which decompose very easily.
Hemp is used in clothing by using a blend of flax, cotton or silk and can be put to use in furnishings as well. The inner two fibers are woodier in texture and can be used in non woven items like animal bedding and litter. Research proves that hemp, being a strong and quick growing fiber, can produce 250% more fiber than cotton and 600% more fiber than flax.
The oil obtained from the seeds of hemp can be utilized in manufacture of oil-based paints, in cooking and also in plastics and creams. Hemp, as a fiber, is a vital raw material needed to produce ropes, sacks and canvasses. Other general uses of hemp include its usage in some countries to strengthen concrete. Hempcrete is that material used commonly in France, which contains hemp and serves as a construction material. Moreover, hemp is used to produce such a bio composite which Mercedes uses in order to manufacture the internal panel in some of its automobiles.
The use of this Asian herb cannot be restricted to one particular industry. Apart from being used in construction work, hemp is also an abundantly used product in food items. It contains about 80% of fatty acids and even larger proportions of amino acids which are necessary for a healthy life. It can be consumed directly in the form of salads or the seeds can be used to produce hemp milk or in baking and even in a range of products varying from cereals to hemp protein powder, non dairy hemp ice cream and many others. Hempseed oil is a dietary supplement and being edible oil it has one of the major advantages attributable to its storage; it can be frozen for longer periods of time and generally does not need any preservatives to retain its quality. Iron deficiency is rampant worldwide and hempseed is viewed as one of the healthiest ways to overcome such deficiency, since it contains calcium and iron along with other minerals. Its anti inflammatory property highlights its use as a medicine as well.
Hemp has more eco friendly benefits to offer which include its properties as a purifier to remove impurities from waste water and other by products. To add to its eco friendly nature, hemp also helps in killing weeds, since it has abundant growth and dense plant leaves. It thus helps to boost organic farming by discouraging the use of herbicides for weed control.
Previously, till the Industrial revolution hemp was used in almost every industry but gradually each industry substituted the use of hemp with the use of some other fiber. Filtered hemp oil was once used to power diesels as well but we do not see that happening now. In the same way, the use of hemp in ropes was replaced by abaca or manila, while its use in manufacturing sacks was replaced by jute. Use of wool and nylon became very common in the carpet industry while synthetics and cotton took over the netting applications. Hemp pulp was once popularly used in paper production and holds very little significance as a raw material to manufacture paper, as with improvement in technology, it is wood pulp which has proven more environment-friendly and also cost effective.
Not ignoring the multitude of ways hemp can be used, it cannot be denied either that the industry does not remain a very large but developments are being made to revive it.

. At around the 00:32 I talked about it in detail. Here is more information on the news about/on what is hemp:
The marijuana plant has many uses apart from drug use. A distinct variety of the Cannabis sativa plant, known as hemp, can be grown to maximize the fibers in the stalk of the plant or to maximize seed production. Hemp has a minimal amount ó about 1 percent ó of the psychotropic chemical THC.
What Is Hemp | What Is Hemp Oil Benefits
Hemp can grow about 18 feet tall. Hemp fiber from the stalk is similar to flax, the source of linen, and can be used for fabric, rope, paper and even as bedding for animals. Hemp seeds crushed for oil and flour are found in nutrition bars, chips, beer, salad dressing and other foods. Hemp oil is sold by itself as a nutrition supplement. Soaps, shampoos, moisturizers and other body care products contain hemp oil as an ingredient.
What Is Hemp | What Is Hemp Oil Benefits
Countries that export industrial hemp to the U.S. usually have a strict limit on the percent of THC present in a sample. Anything over 1 percent THC by weight would be considered marijuana. Industrial hemp usually has less than 0.3 percent THC by weight, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Marijuana grown for drugs typically has 3 to 15 percent THC by weight.

Hemp Diapers Information
It is necessary for you to learn about hemp diaters whether you are expecting a baby in the next few months or not, due to anticipating environmental initiatives and promising economic ventures.
Hemp has the potential to revolutionize the entire clothing industry just as it has rendered old diaper designs and manufacturing methods completely obsolete. By no means is it a radical new discovery, hemp has been cultivated since approximately 8000 B.C., and botanists have understood hemp’s distinction from its psycho-active cousin, marijuana, since they first taxonomized the cannabis family. Botanists wisely dubbed hemp “useful cannabis.” Farmers and manufacturers are just beginning to recognize how amazingly useful hemp may become.
Hemp diapers provide agronomists and economists with tools for estimating hemp’s potential. Rigorous testing and everyday use both confirm what wise homemakers always already have known about hemp: Anything cotton can do, hemp can do better. Against every measure of fibers’ quality, hemp substantially outperforms cotton. When farmers recognize hemp’s potential as a cash crop, hemp easily could replace cotton as the world’s most popular fiber. Acre for acre, hemp yields far more fiber than cotton with far less labor. And, because hemp requires very little cultivation and absolutely no pesticide, it costs considerably less to produce than cotton. Hemp’s profit margin dwarfs cotton’s. Far more importantly over the long term, hemp does not deplete the soil, whereas cotton ravages it. Because hemp ranks among Nature’s most durable fibers, it recycles almost indefinitely, yet it also degrades relatively quickly, making it the ideal compostable fiber.
Given hemp’s profound impact on diaper manufacturing and sales, clothing manufacturers have begun considering hemp’s promise (or threat) in ready-to-wear. If, for example, Levi-Strauss switched from cotton to hemp, their already durable jeans would become almost indestructible. Translation: lower gross sales, but considerably lower operating cost, so that profit reasonably may be expected to increase. Imagine how well hemp denim would work in children’s clothing. One little pair of Oshkosh B’Gosh Overalls might last seven generations.
Some forecasters identify hemp diapers as the canary in the clothing industry’s mine. Hemp diapers’ success very well may signal radical upheaval in everything about how clothes are made, marketed, and sold.
