Hemp has had such a bad rap over the last few decades because of its association with illicit drugs, however, industrial hemp is one of the most useful and environmentally friendly materials found. In years gone by hemp was an essential and its cultivation was encouraged by governments. It was use for sail, ropes, military uniforms, parachute webbing and canvases of all kinds. Today it has had somewhat of a revival being used in a variety of products such as jewelery, furnishings, paper, body products and increasingly in the construction industry. However, it is as a fabric in the textile industry that hemp has it most obvious use.

Industrial hemp has many advantages over other crop fibers such as cotton.
Hemp
• matures in one season
• requires considerably less water than cotton
• is resistant to pest thus requiring not herbicides
• has deep roots which assist in controlling soil erosion
• produces 250% more fibers per acre than cotton and some 600% more than flax

Hemp is classified as an Eco textile meaning it requires less energy, produces less carbon and, therefore, creates less pollution than other forms of fabric manufacturing.

Hemp fibers are very much like cotton fibers only three times stronger and far more absorbent making them perfect for infants and adults. Hemp fibers have a natural resistance to mold and mildew and tests have shown that hemp material, with a close weave, repel up to 95% of U.V. rays while other materials such as cotton, repel between 30% and 90%.

Hemp fabric is more course than cotton but can be blended with other natural fibers such as cottons and silk to produce a soft, durable and fashionable material. Hemp clothing is wrinkle free with the ability to retain it shape after years of use.

When compared to cotton hemp’s porous nature allows it to be cool in summer but its insulation qualities mean that hemp clothing is also warm in winter. Its ability to absorb moisture means that dyes are more effective and are resistant to fading.

It seems like hemp has it all. It’s good for the environment, it’s good for your health and it’s good for your pocket. So why not clothing made from hemp?

Hemp Oil: A Super Food

posted in: Hemp 0

For all of you who are still on the “Just Say No” bandwagon, you might believe that hemp seed oil, which is derived from the seeds of the cannabis plant, is just another way for those dang hippies to get high. However, while the flowers this controversial plant are capable of bringing about mild hallucinations and making everything on FOX News seem hilarious, the seeds and the beneficial fatty oils that they contain, will do no such thing. In fact, hemp seed oil is thought to be one of the most beneficial supplements a person can take in order to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.

Once upon a time before politicians and business interests got involved, hemp was an important crop with any industrial and medicinal uses. On the health front, the seeds of the hemp plant were found to be an almost perfect food source, containing 80% of the essential fatty acids that our bodies need as well as globule edestins which is a rare protein that is similar to globulin. Hemp oil is easily digestible and contains pretty much all of the essential fatty acids that the body needs in order to stay functioning properly. Modern Research studies have found that taking hemp oil on a regular basis can help repair a damaged immune system and even reverse wasting making it an important natural supplement for both cancer patients and people with AIDS

Taking Internally Hemp Oil Can:

Increase vitality Help with motor skills Ease Arthritis Pain Strengthen the Immune System Treat Tuberculosis Decrease Sun Related Damage to the skin

People with conditions caused by deficiency in LA (Omega 6) and LNA (Omega 3) can be treated by taking hemp oil because it has those essential fatty acids (EFA) in balanced, ideal proportions.

Hemp seed oil has a low level of Stearic acid (18:0) which is beneficial for health because high levels of Stearic acid form flow-impeding clots in blood vessels and work against the healing qualities of the EFA’s.

How much to take:

On the daily basis you can take 2-4 dessert spoons (up to 50 ml) per day. In the case of therapy you can increase the dose up to 150 ml per day for approximately 7 days, then return to the regular daily amount.

Hemp Seed Oil has a nutty flavor that most people find pleasant. It is an ideal additive to salad dressings, dips, or cold pasta. It is not suitable for frying, since excess heat will greatly reduce many of its life giving benefits. It can also be used externally to treat skin conditions such as eczema. You can find it many health food stores.

posted in: Hemp 0

Of all the plants, hemp is one such plant that is economic and is seen as a separate plant by the US law. Growing this plant is easy and it does not require any lengthy processes. Hemp can be used to replace

Hemp is non-narcotic and is seen as a separate plant in the United States law. Hemp is the most economically viable plant the United States could produce. There is a rich history accompanying hemp. It is very easy to grow and process. Hemp could theoretically replace most other textiles needed to create products including but not limited to: food, fabric, paper, construction materials, car materials, and fuel making it a plant to fit most needs in a cost effective manner.

Hemp Plant grows well in a large variety of climates and soil types as well as being drought resistant, making it an ideal crop in the dry western regions of the country. Hemp is naturally resistant to most pests, weeds, and diseases, thus eliminating the need for pesticides and herbicides. Hemp also covers the fields they are grown in with leaves which naturally improve the soil in a self-mulching ecosystem. This means that you can till the same fields continuously and never use up the soil’s nutrients. This would eliminate the need to circulate crop fields and ensure the continuing health of the soil while minimizing the space needed to grow. Hemp can also be harvested with equipment that is readily available so it would be a seamless switch from almost any other crop.

On the earth there are over 3 million edible plants, although no other plan source can compare to the nutrition value of hempseeds.

A handful of seeds will provide the minimum daily requirement of protein for adults. Hemp seed protein is one of the finest, and most complete vegetable proteins.

Hemp paper can be made from both the outer fibers of the hemp stalk as well as the inner core of the stalk and can become the finest quality paper. The long fibers in hemp allow its paper to be recycled 10 times whereas wood-based paper can only be recycled twice without losing integrity and requiring additional virgin fiber content. Because of hemp’s low lignin content, hemp can be pulped using far fewer chemicals than with wood. Its natural brightness can extinguish the need to use chlorine bleach, which means to extremely toxic dioxin being dumped into water sources. Hemp only needs the gentle chemistry of everyday hydrogen peroxide which naturally breaks down into oxygen gas and pure water.

Handmade Hemp Clothing

posted in: Hemp 1

Hemp clothing is a product made from weaving natural fibers obtained from the cannabis plant. Although many may know of the cannabis plant’s recreational uses, these plants were initially bred to yield long fibers.
Hemp is the longest, strongest, most durable natural fiber known to mankind and has been used for over 12,000 years. It was cultivated to provide industrial uses such as rope, paper, canvas, clothing, and other alternative textiles.

Originally, hemp is a coarse fiber and was deemed unsuitable for human wear. However, breeding methodologies were discovered to treat hemp fibers and produce a fiber that is much softer; an ideal material to use for weaving hemp. The end-product was then called handmade hemp clothing.

In the United States, hemp is the only crop that can be legally imported but not actually grown. Clothing made from industrial hemp is perfectly legal in the America.
The governing laws are confusing, but non-food and non-drug products made from this crop and sold in a reputable location is perfectly legal in this country. Handmade hemp clothing are comfortable to wear as the fibers keep the user cool.

They are also wrinkle-free which makes it a convenient staple in the wardrobe. Handmade hemp clothing are strong, durable, and absorbent. They are actually more preferred than cotton for garment that need to withstand hard wear. The fibers are known to last longer than cotton because compared to cotton, hemp textiles are stronger, more durable, consume only one third the amount of water, and growing hemp requires no crop chemicals.

It is highly resistant to mildew, rotting, very anti-microbial, and tests have shown that hemp material, with a close weave, repels U.V. Rays. Handmade hemp clothing is generally woven or knitted.
The personalized touch that the hand woven garments provide tend to add a certain exclusivity and value to the product. Designer Calvin Klein is known to have incorporated hemp materials to his fabrics and produce high-end fashion clothing to add to his latest collection.
