Hemp tea is not just one of many, but one of the most beneficial traditional drinks because it is full of plant vitamins, natural nutrients and antioxidants.
The tea has been used for a very long time in both traditional Chinese medicine and the Indian tradition of Ayurveda.
Hemp tea has long been said to alleviate many imaginable ailments, from sleep problems, nausea, menstrual problems to stress. Read 9 well-known reasons.
Modern research is now providing more and more valuable insights into how hemp tea can support health.
9 already known reasons for hemp tea described in published papers:
1. In case of pain
Hemp tea is an excellent remedy to support pain therapy.
One of the main reasons why people choose hemp tea.
It has a mild antispasmodic and relaxing effect.
Women with menstrual problems also benefit from drinking tea.
The US University of Michigan has studied and demonstrated this effect.
The active ingredients of the plant are absorbed in the liver and digestive tract.
The effect of the tea occurs approximately 1 hour after consumption and then lasts for a full 4 to 8 hours, with the peak being felt approximately 2 to 3 hours after drinking.
Due to the delayed but long-lasting effect, hemp tea can be particularly helpful in the case of chronic conditions such as rheumatism or rheumatoid arthritis. The user reports from a survey by the Arthritis Foundation are interesting in this regard.
To improve the CBD effect, manufacturers recommend consuming the hemp tea on an empty stomach.
That's why you don't need to drink large amounts every day, as just one cup often provides long-lasting relief.
TIP: To maximize the absorption of cannabinoids, the hemp tea should be drunk on an empty stomach, supplemented with a little cream or a drop of oil.
2. In case of anxiety and poor nervous condition
Anxiety and depression are among the most common and profound illnesses.
An estimated 350 million people worldwide suffer from depression and one in thirteen people suffers from anxiety.
Hemp tea has properties that can provide relief here. Studies show that hemp is neuroprotective and has a regulating effect on our emotional feelings.
This can be explained by the numerous natural active ingredients found in the hemp plant. Hemp contains antioxidants that can help repair damaged cells, as well as anti-inflammatory effects.
Inflammation in the brain is a major cause of depression and anxiety. By reducing inflammation, cannabis supports the brain, which can help mitigate damage caused by stress.
Drinking hemp tea is beneficial and gentle on the body. Not only does the process itself have a healing effect (i.e. enjoying a relaxed cup of tea), but the drink also contains numerous active ingredients that benefit mental activity.
3. For sleeping
The calming effect of hemp also has a positive effect on sleep quality.
It helps you both fall asleep faster and actually sleep through the night.
4. Positive for the lungs
Unlike tobacco, hemp is a bronchodilator and not a bronchoconstrictor. This means that hemp reduces resistance in the airways and increases airflow.
Hemp tea is a good alternative for people who want to experience the positive effects of hemp. This is especially beneficial for people with respiratory diseases.
5. For the heart
A healthy diet and regular exercise can prevent many types of heart disease. However, it can't hurt to take hemp as a preventative measure.
According to a study published in the journal Pharmacological Research, cannabinoids are said to have a positive effect on blood circulation in human tissue. Essentially, the active ingredients in hemp support the arteries by relaxing them.
Drinking hemp tea slows down the effect of cannabinoids in the body, as the body must first absorb the active ingredients through the digestive system. The effect is therefore gentle as long as you do not consume too much in large quantities.
6. If you feel nauseous
Nausea can be a symptom of many illnesses. Many people, including those undergoing chemotherapy, feel nauseous on a regular basis.
Hemp tea can relieve nausea and vomiting and is soothing for the stomach.
7. Digestion
The positive effects of hemp on gastrointestinal complaints have long been documented.
For people with digestive problems such as irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn's disease, hemp can relieve painful cramps, constipation and diarrhea. Science shows that hemp acts on the endogenous cannabinoid receptors in the digestive tract.
The cannabinoids in hemp tea are absorbed directly in the intestines.
8. Alzheimer
A preclinical study published in the journal Alzheimer's shows that CBD slows down the production of beta-amyloid proteins, a typical sign of Alzheimer's.
Although the results are preliminary, numerous studies suggest that cannabinoids have neuroprotective effects – which is a preventive factor.
9. Immune system
CBD has a calming effect on the parasympathetic nervous system, thus helping to boost the immune system.
The loose hemp leaves and the leaf and flower tea from UNSER KRAUT come from EU industrial hemp varieties from Austria - Waldviertel and the leaf and flower tea in bags from one of the most experienced, oldest hemp growers in the Netherlands. The organic hemp leaves come from the low-THC variety Fedora, which is why there are no intoxicating side effects.
The teas are rich in minerals and trace elements, secondary plant substances and essential oils, omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids and contain vitamins B1, B2 and E.
