Uses of Hemp
A healthcare professional, such as a registered dietitian (RD) or registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN), a pharmacist, or a healthcare provider, should individualize and vet supplement use. No supplement's intended purpose is to treat, cure, or prevent disease.
Hemp seed is legal in the United States, and people use hemp as a remedy for many purposes. However, there isn't enough clinical research data to back up claims that hemp is a safe or effective treatment for any condition.
Limited evidence suggests hemp may benefit the heart, skin, and digestive tract.
Heart Protection
So far, hemp's proposed effects on the heart are primarily theoretical.
Animal studies have suggested that hemp seed oil may reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack. This hasn't been proved in human studies, though.
Hemp seeds also contain arginine, an amino acid that may offer benefits for blood pressure to help protect the heart. However, more research on this is necessary.
One clinical trial showed that hemp seed plus physical activity improved the lipid profile of young sedentary (non-active) males, which might benefit the heart. Another study in healthy adults who were overweight showed that hemp oil increased high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or "good") cholesterol.
Skin Disorders
Hemp oil is often used as a hair conditioner or skin moisturizer.
Some studies found that hemp seed oil may improve dry, itchy skin and symptoms of eczema, a common skin condition. It may reduce the need for prescription medication when used for eczema symptoms. However, more research is needed.
Constipation
Because of its high fiber content, hemp has traditionally been used as an antidote to constipation. There's little evidence of this benefit, however.
A review of clinical trials concluded that hemp is effective in treating functional constipation but noted that more data is necessary because all of the included studies were conducted in Asian populations.

What our tester says
“The balm smells wonderful, minty, and reminds me of an old-fashioned candy shop. It feels a little warm and tingly going onto the skin.
“The texture is like a thick Vaseline, it felt a little weird rubbing it in. The worst part though was that it sits on the skin and leaves a shiny, greasy residue. It made my hands very oily and didn’t rub in well at all, which made typing a chore when I returned to my keyboard.
“It soothed my hands OK, but if yours are extremely dry, you’re probably going to need something a little more heavy duty.”

What Conditions Can It Help?
Medical marijuana may be used to:
- Ease pain. This includes different types of chronic pain, including pain from nerve damage.
- Control nausea and vomiting. The most common use is for nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy for cancer.
- Make a person feel like eating. This helps people who do not eat enough and lose weight due to other illnesses, such as HIV/AIDS and cancer.
Some small studies show that marijuana might relieve symptoms in people who have:
- Multiple sclerosis
- Crohn disease
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Epilepsy
Smoking marijuana lowers pressure inside the eyes. But the effect does not last long and this is not often the recommended treatment for glaucoma. Other glaucoma medicines work better to treat the disease.
