Traditional Uses: This relatively new oil to aromatherapy has been somewhat controversial, but although it comes from the cannabis sativa plant, hemp is not pot and cannot be used as a drug because it produces virtually no THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol). Though it is frequently confused with marijuana, this commercial strain of hemp is grown in Canada for its fibre and seeds, which are used in the huge range of hemp products now available on the market legally.

Many uses for hemp essential oil are known, besides aromatherapy, including the use in products as diverse as cosmetics, soaps, shampoos, creams, oils, perfumes, foodstuffs and beer.
