Ayurveda's Gift To The Modern World
The unprecedented and extremely challenging times due to the pandemic have proved to be the best of lessons that showed us the Organic and Ayurvedic World path that is more rooted and connected to Nature. Undoubtedly, 2022 demands us to get back to conscious consumerism-the primary focus of Ayurveda's indigenous science. Consumers are constantly looking for the pragmatic intervention of Ayurvedic products developed from natural and sustainable sources, and Hemp fills this mould perfectly.
Hemp, also known as 'Vijaya' or 'Herb of the Immortal', is one of the many potent herbs in Ayurveda with immense medicinal properties. The reference of Himalayan Hemp used for medicinal, beauty and health purposes is found in classic Ayurvedic scriptures like Sushruta Samhita, Charaka Samhita, Shargandhara Samhita, Anandakanda, Bhava Prakashah, etc. Although the entire plant can be used in different ways, Cold-pressed Organic Hemp oil -vegetable oil derived from the seeds of Cannabis sativa is most popularly used in the skincare and food industry.
Hemp is revolutionising clean, green and ethical beauty and lifestyle and is also dominating the Ayurvedic medical spaces, with brands tapping into the benefits of this multifaceted ingredient worldwide and using Hemp as the torchbearer in their topical and edible products. Its popularity can be attributed to increased awareness, an eco-friendly Ayurvedic alternative to many toxic ingredients, and increased consumption due to health benefits.
The consumers, in the meanwhile, are also increasingly becoming more receptive to the idea of using Hemp and detaching the plant from its psychotropic properties. The awareness of Hemp as a powerful Ayurvedic ingredient suitable for every skin and hair type is gradually seeping into the market.
Let's understand why Hemp is far from misconceptions and has gradually begun to occupy the hearts of people with no harm but only good:

Hemp holds many nutritional benefits.
Cannabis Sativa, the Hemp plant seeds, are from the same species as cannabis (Marijuana) but a different variety. Hemp is rich in healthy fats and various minerals. More than 25% of their total calories are from high-quality protein, more than chia seeds and flaxseeds. Hemp seeds are a great source of Vitamin E and minerals like sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, and potassium.
Science and Nature back the benefits
Hemp is indeed Nature's win-win ingredient and gift to humankind. It penetrates the earth in search of water and grows clamorously in an ideal environment. The tuberous structure of Hemp's roots is evidence that it is a highly water-efficient crop. Furthermore, the natural qualities of the crop make it resilient to pests and insects. Modern Science considers Hemp a cleanser, emollient, skin conditioner, and surfactant; it is indeed a perfect example of an amalgamation of science and Nature.
