Hemp for Health & Beauty + Recipe

Hemp is great for health and beauty

Hemp seeds are darlings of the holistic health and beauty industries thanks to their high fibre, protein, Vitamin E, calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc content, as well as an abundance and balance of good fats.

“Hemp seed oil has three times more antioxidants than flax seed oil and is rich in Omega 3 and 6. It’s also a wonderful substitute to fish oil,” says holistic health coach, model and natural beauty advocate, Elise Carr. “It’s also very safe, as it’s toxin free it does not harm your body. It is also sustainable—no need for herbicides, pesticides or fertilisers to grow hemp so you are looking after Mother Earth as you take care of yourself too.”

Getting a daily dose of health-promoting hemp can come from consuming seeds, protein, flour or milk and can be readily added to favourite recipes or smoothies thanks to its mild, nutty flavour.

“Extensive research has proven the myriad of benefits that come from consuming hemp products in our food and applying it on our beautiful bodies,” says Carr. “For example, hemp has 800 milligrams of fibre, compared to zero grams of fibre in cows milk.”

Knowing Hemp from Cannabis

While hemp is often confused with cannabis—which also is known to contain powerful health-supporting properties—hemp is different variety of the same plant. Hemp must contain 0.3 percent or less of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the compound that’s responsible for cannabis’ trademark high.

“There is no illegality in people consuming hemp products as long as they are THC free—nor is there criminality associated with the consumption of hemp,” says Ron Williams, CEO of Lariese Purely Organic.

Hemp seed oil has three times more antioxidants than flax seed oil and is rich in Omega 3 and 6. It’s also a wonderful substitute to fish oil.

According to the Food Safety Standard of Australia and New Zealand, hemp does not have any psychoactive properties, with the level of THC in hemp varying from zero to 0.5. It also states that the THC level in cannabis ranges from three to 15 percent, while hemp seeds, and even marijuana seeds, do not contain any THC.

Hemp can be used in a variety of ways.

Hemp for Beauty

Hemp protein is easily digestible with 65 percent globulin edestin and 35 percent albumin protein—more than any other plant. This means its nourishing properties benefit from the inside out, infusing its good fats, vitamin and mineral content more readily than those plants that aren’t as easily digested, such as soy, which is known to contain natural toxins and can be troublesome for digestion.

Applying hemp directly to the skin allows the good fats to penetrate the outer layers.

“It is wonderful for moisturising, repairing and soothing skin and hair… it helps regenerate the skin’s protective layer,” says Carr.

Hemp seeds also contain:

  • GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid). Hemp is one of only five known sources, which include borage seed, evening primrose seed, blackcurrant seed, carrot seed and wheatgerm.
  • Almost no carbohydrates, with less than half a gram of sugar per 20 gram serving.
  • Fifteen times as much fat-fighting CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) as fish oil.
  • Cholesterol-fighting phytosterols: 1480mg per 20 gram serving.
  • B vitamins such as folate.
  • Vitamin D3. Hemp is the only known plant food source of this bone-strengthening vitamin.

Liv Kaplan’s Vegan Banana Hemp Protein Pancakes

liv kaplan's hemp pancakes

Serves: ​2
Dietary: ​vegan, dairy-free, egg-free, sugar-free, nut-free

Ingredients

1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 cup almond milk or plant-based milk of your choice 1 cup oats
1⁄4 cup Hemple Hemp Seed Protein
1 banana, ripe
Coconut oil, for cooking

Method

  1. In a bowl, combine chia seeds and milk with 1⁄2 cup of water. Let sit to become gel-like while you prepare the other ingredients.
  2. In a food processor, pulse the oats until they resemble a course flour. Alternatively you can use oat flour if available.
  3. Add hemp protein, banana and chia seed mixture to the food processor and pulse until it resembles pancake batter, it doesn’t take much. You’ll still see some chia seeds intact, this is totally fine.
  4. Heat a pan or two over a medium heat and add a touch of coconut oil to the pan to prevent sticking. Pour in pancake batter into the pan, leave to cook until bubbles appear and you can easily flip with a spatula, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for another 4 minutes.
  5. Repeat until there is no more batter left. If the batter begins to thicken, stir in a touch more milk or water to loosen it up.
  6. Serve with your favourite pancake toppings!

Note

To make them gluten-free, be sure to used labelled gluten-free oats. To make them nut-free, use rice milk, hemp milk or oat milk!

Asking questions in every moment opens the portal to receiving the answers. There is no mistake in the phrase, “ask and you shall receive”. The issue is, most of us have forgotten the importance of asking. Write them down, state them aloud, think them into form. The phone cannot be answered if it does not ring. The asking is the calling. Also remember—the asking is not akin to a search engine, with answers appearing the moment you type in the question. Once you ask, have patience, trusting the answers always come… sometimes, oftentimes, when you least expect them.

Authenticity is an art. It comes when we care less about what others (supposedly) think of us, when we stop self-judgment and release the need to “please" in the hope of being rewarded for our “niceness”.

Authenticity is an art, embodied when we realise we are perfectly imperfect.

Authenticity is realness on all levels — an outward expression of the inner you: The person you know so well but have hidden from world around, for fear of being judged or hurt.

Authenticity cannot be taught. It comes from the innate understanding we are complete and therefore require no walls, no masks and no excuses.

When we women each learn to truly embody our authenticity, this is when we create great change because we act from the well of all creation, undiluted by societal programming and expectations.

The evolution to authenticity begins with you.
