Industrial hemp has been a nutritional supplement throughout the ages, and has been known to cure or treat numerous diseases and conditions.
As I stated in a previous post, we are a nation of inflammation. Inflammatory diseases and conditions have been on the rise for decades. One common inflammatory condition that is prevalent is Crohn’s disease.
Crohn’s is a bowel disease that causes inflammation in the digestive tract. Symptoms include severe diarrhea, abdominal pain, and possibly malnutrition. The inflammation spreads deep into the tissue and can be quite debilitating. There is no known ‘cure’, but there are many therapies, including nutritive therapy.
Hemp seed and hemp seed oil are ‘demulcents’, which means they have emollient properties.
Demulcents (in this case hemp seed and hemp seed oil) soothe and protect intestinal membranes, especially mucus membranes, which are affected by Crohn’s.
Hemp seed has a high concentration of oil, and is an excellent source of Omega fatty acids.
For those suffering from Crohn’s, adding hemp to the diet may decrease the agonizing symptoms, while at the same time providing excellent nutrition (protein, amino acids, calcium, Omega fatty acids, to name a few).

hi!
ferer, having been diagnosed 9 years ago, put on a course of steroids and having had 4 attacks i seem pretty symptomless!
i have hemp oil and want to try take that instead of my two mesalazines a day…advice? cheers
I have read of several instances where the hemp oil has definitely improved the condition. I cannot advise you on whether or not to continue the meds, but certainly it would appear that you can continue the hemp oil with good results. If you do have questions about the meds, I would suggest you speak with your medical provider. I hope this helps!
Some people have seen good results with Hemphoria, and you will see a link for that product in the right sidebar of my blog. That photo link will take you to a page that will explain more about it. Here is an additional link : http://2799859.versativa.org/EatDrinkandBeMerry.html
