LONDON, Aug. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to The Business Research Companys research report on the hemp fiber market, increasing legalization to cultivate industrial hemp is expected to propel the growth of the hemp fiber market going forward. Industrial hemp is obtained from the plant species Cannabis sativa and has been used globally to produce a variety of industrial and consumer products. Industrial hemp is grown for its fiber and seeds, which are used for the manufacture of hemp fiber. As a result, increasing legalization of industrial hemp helps to increase the production of hemp fiber. For instance, in January 2021, the US Department of Agriculture announced the final rule regulating the production of hemp in the United States. The rules are issued under Section 10113 of the law. This has implicitly legalized the manufacturing and selling of Delta-8 THC, which contains minor psychoactive substances similar to the legally banned Delta-9 (marijuana).

The Hemp Fiber Market Is Expected To Reach $26 Billion By 2026, Driven By The Legalization Of Hemp Cultivation As Per The Business Research Company's...

People who use medical cannabis products for chronic pain may have a higher risk of heart rhythm disorders, or arrhythmias, according to preliminary results presented August 22 at the European Society of Cardiology scientific meeting in Spain.

This study indicates that there may be a previously unreported risk of arrhythmias following medical cannabis use, study author Dr. Nina Nouhravesh of Gentofte University Hospital in Denmark, said in a news release.

However, she said that even though there was a higher risk of arrhythmia among cannabis users, the absolute risk was modest.

In the study, researchers identified 1.6 million patients in Denmark diagnosed with chronic pain between 2018 and 2021. Over 4,900 of these patients picked up at least one prescription for a cannabis product (dronabinol, cannabidiol or other cannabinoids).

Dronabinol contains high amounts of THC, the main psychoactive compound in cannabis plants. Cannabidiol, or CBD, does not produce the same high as THC. Cannabis plants also contain other cannabinoids which have differing effects.

Researchers matched cannabis patients to similar patients based on age, sex, and the type of chronic pain who did not pick up a prescription for a cannabis product during the study period. They followed both groups for 180 days.

People who didnt use medical cannabis had a small risk (0.49%) of being diagnosed with a new arrhythmia during the follow-up period.

For medical cannabis users, the risk was still small (0.86%), but it was 74% higher than for non-cannabis-users.

However, researchers pointed out that a greater proportion of people in the cannabis group were taking other pain medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opioids, and anti-epileptic drugs.

As a result, we cannot rule out that this might explain the greater likelihood of arrhythmias [in the cannabis group], Nouhravesh said in the release.

Dr. Nikhil Warrier, a cardiac electrophysiologist and medical director of electrophysiology at MemorialCare Heart & Vascular Institute at Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, Calif., said the new study is consistent with other research showing a higher risk of arrhythmias in cannabis users compared to non-users.

One study he pointed to found that young adults with cannabis use disorder had a higher risk of being hospitalized for arrhythmia.

Another study found that cannabis users with existing health problems such as high blood pressure, high lipids or obesity were also at greater risk of arrhythmia-related hospitalization. The highest increase in these hospitalizations occurred among white males ages 45 to 54 years.

In addition, other research has found that young cannabis users with pre-existing depression have a higher risk of arrhythmia compared to cannabis users without depression.

However, Warrier pointed out that the Danish research is an observational study, which inherently has its limits. So one should interpret the results with caution, as it may not imply causality.

Likewise, Dr. Sherry Yafai, a cannabis expert and an emergency medicine physician at Providence Saint Johns Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif., said one of the limitations of the new study is that more people in the cannabis group were taking pain medications or anti-epileptic drugs than in the non-cannabis group.

She pointed to several studies showing that certain opioid pain medications and anti-epileptic drugs can increase the risk of arrhythmia.

As a result, Yafai said it is hard to know if the moderately higher risk of arrhythmias seen in the cannabis group is due to the cannabis products or to other medications that people were taking.

This, she said, also suggests that the two groups of patients were not perfectly matched.

While researchers did match cannabis and non-cannabis patients based on age, sex, and type of chronic pain, other factors may also influence the risk of arrhythmia.

When somebody is taking more opiates, more anti-epileptics, and more NSAIDs, it often indicates that their disease prognosis is worse or their pain levels are much higher, said Yafai.

This raises the following questions, she said: Did the cannabis group have a greater proportion of sicker patients?

If so, would those people have been more likely to develop arrhythmia due to their other health problems, even without cannabis use?

To answer these questions, additional research would be needed, with cannabis and non-cannabis groups matched by medication use, the severity of illness, and other factors.

While many people have used cannabis to find relief from chronic pain, Warrier said people should be aware that cannabis is not without side effects.

I have had patients come to see me who are on cannabis for their chronic pain who dont realize the full impact of this choice, he said. So it is important for them to recognize that this is not a risk-free endeavor.

Yafai said its important for people to know that not all cannabis products are the same; each has different effects, as well as heart-related risks.

Products can contain THC, CBD, or other cannabinoids in varying combinations and amounts. Some products, such as vape pens, may contain higher amounts of THC than is naturally found in cannabis plants.

People who are older or who have underlying factors that increase their risk of arrhythmia should be especially cautious when using cannabis products to treat chronic pain.

Like any medication that is ingested or inhaled, you really should consult with a cannabis specialist to decide if THC or other cannabinoids may be helpful and work best for you, said Yafai.

In November 2021, FSSAI approved the use of hemp seeds in limited quantities in food and beverages

In November 2021, FSSAI approved the use of hemp seeds in limited quantities in food and beverages

As a keen observer of popular culture and more pertinently, the myriad superfood trends that emerge from there with alarming ferocity Ive always found the whole appropriation bid both amusing and sad.

Amusing, because we always seem to need such ostensibly new age Western fads to take us back to our intrinsic traditional knowledge. Sad, because of our rather desperate desire to have something weve known all along validated, repackaged and then, ultimately shoved down our gullible throats!

It first happened with yoga by way of the Western boomer generation of the 70s. Now, millennials and Gen Z seem to have a whole other social media-fuelled agenda of their own this time, to reintroduce us to our very own ashwagandhaand haldi doodh.(The latter bearing hip, new names of golden latte and even moon brew, if you may.) But theres another such superfood thats slowly inching forward. Never mind the fact that it has existed in our midst for millennia. 9,000 years, to be precise. And thats hemp. Known to you and me as bhang.

But this is not the same bhangyoure probably thinking about with Holi benders at the forefront. Though both marijuana and hemp are varieties of the cannabis plant, hemp, also known as cannabis sativa, is not an intoxicant. Unlike marijuana, hemp contains low levels of the psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and higher concentrations of cannabidiol (CBD), which mitigates any psychotropic impact.

And this is why in November 2021, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) approved the use of hemp seeds in limited quantities in food (5 mg THC per kg) and beverages (0.2 mg THC per kg). This move came about not just to promote a sustainable plant-based diet, but also to highlight the other benefits of consuming hemp.

This is precisely why I have been using both hemp oil and hemp hearts (which is the inside of the seed) to crust fish and lamb for a while now. The hearts have a mild, nutty taste and texture similar to cashewnut. Hemp is also one of the healthiest superfoods we have today, says chef Vicky Ratnani. Ironically, he was first introduced to hemp in the kitchen in Canada years ago while filming his food show there. The latest addition to his Mumbai-based cloud kitchen Speak Burgers menu is a hemp seed and quinoa iteration, that he says will be out soon.

Rich in protein, fibre, and fatty acids, including omega 3, 6 and 9, hemp has several antioxidant effects and may reduce symptoms of numerous ailments, improving the health of the heart, skin joints and even helping mitigate depression and anxiety.

It was finding a cure for her depression by consuming hemp that saw Amruta Shitole start The Hemp Cafeteria in May, along with her brother Vishal in Pune. Every dish on our menu be it our bestselling tawa burger or our chutney and paneer layered sandwich has hemp seeds in it. Even our multigrain breads are baked using a bit of powdered hemp in the dough, says Shitole, who plans on regularly updating her all-vegetarian menu as per demand.

The true proliferation of hemp and its assorted derivatives is best seen among the hardy mountain communities in places such as Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, where it forms an integral part of the local pahadidiet. In fact, till date, Uttarakhand is considered to produce the best quality hemp in the world.

Besides having proven digestive qualities thanks to their high fibre content, whole hemp seeds are also warming in nature. Quite like a vegetarian alternative to fish or cod liver oil. Something that is crucial to maintain body temperature in the cold climate of Uttarakhands mountainous regions such as Garhwal and here in Kumaon, says chef Naveen Adhikari.

A Kumaoni native, Adhikari does a whole menu of traditional hemp-based dishes for guests at the Mary Budden Estate thats part of Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary, overlooking Uttarakhands Jhandi Dhar Hills. These range from the ubiquitous bhang ki chutneyand a hemp heart-flecked raita to a local bhangwala halwathat is the ghee-rich sum of its hemp hearts, semolina, almond flakes and jaggery parts.

The popular Uttarakhandi hemp chicken dish called bhangira chicken was part of the a la carte menu at a recent hemp-centric food festival at The Park hotel in Chennai. We used everything from hemp seed oil, hemp seeds, hemp hearts to hemp powder in the curated dishes, which ranged from an avocado smoothie and a grilled fish to an adobo chicken tortilla and rasmalai bombe dessert. For the bhangira murgh, we ground hemp seeds with other spices into a paste, which was used for flavour, says the hotels executive chef Ashutosh Nerlekar.

Up until a few months ago, there was much to be said about the hemp procurement hurdles faced by those in the business. And not to mention consumer apprehension and scepticism. That has changed.

According to Sarah Nicole Edwards a British expat who runs the entirely plant-based Copper + Cloves caf in Bengaluru it used to be a Herculean task to get her supplies on time. I remember bringing back bags full of edible hemp products with me every time I went back to the U.K., when India always produced the best hemp to begin with, she says. Today, her menu has everything from a hemp seed and cacao smoothie to a chocolate mousse topped with hemp hearts.

Not only has this ancient superfood won hearts overnight, its popularity is spurring enthusiasts to widen its scope and take it to a new demographic. Up next: a range of high-protein, hemp-based dog treats by Bengaluru-based India Hemp and Co., founded by sisters Jayanti and Shalini Bhattacharya. Truly, hemp for all, all for hemp.

If youre new to the world of CBD products, the Full-Spectrum CBD Oil from Fabuleaf is a good choice as it features a lower concentration at just 10mg per dose. But you dont have to worry about a lack of pain relief, as the CBD oil also contains other phytocannabinoids and terpenes for additional therapeutic benefits.

Pros:

Cons:

All of Fabuleafs products, including the CBD oil, feature hemp extract harvested from the flower only to get a better quality of CBD, terpenes, and other cannabinoids. Plus, by leaving out the stalks and leaves of the plant during the extraction process, the flavor of the oil loses a lot of its bitterness, leaving a subtle earthy taste that is not at all unpleasant.

Fabuleaf prides itself on its rigorous quality control standards, with the hemp for the entire product line coming from a single hemp farm in Colorado. Organic farming practices are used throughout the growing and harvesting process to ensure the products are pesticide, herbicide, and GMO-free.

Youll know the purity is there as this CBD oil is made from just two ingredients: hemp flower CBD oil and MCT oil. The third-party lab test results, which are available for each product batch, show that youre getting the potency of CBD advertised on the bottle, plus terpenes and extra cannabinoids, but no nasty extras.

We know the impact pain can have on a persons life, so its so important that we only include products on this list that have the best chances of managing your discomfort. Therefore we carefully researched dozens of CBD brands to find the CBD oils that met strict criteria when it came to customer satisfaction, ingredient quality, and brand reputation.

Quality CBD starts with quality hemp, therefore, we prioritized brands that harvest their hemp oil from domestic plants, grown using organic farming practices. This guarantees a CBD oil that is free of pesticides and herbicides.

How CBD is extracted can also impact the quality of the product. We prefer CO2 extraction over solvent extraction as it results in a cleaner product and a higher yield. If a brand does use solvent extraction we made certain to check the certificate of analysis to ensure no residual solvents were present in the oil.

In addition, we favored brands that used full-spectrum or broad-spectrum CBD oil. This is because it contains additional cannabinoids and terpenes, which may boost the anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects of CBD oil.

While many of the oils on this list are just made of a few ingredients CBD oil and a carrier oil we did also consider oils that contained additional therapeutic ingredients that support joint health and have anti-inflammatory effects, such as turmeric, ginger, and avocado oil.

CBD oil often has an earthy aftertaste that can be slightly unpleasant. However, with a quality product there will be minimal or no bitterness, and certainly no grassy flavors. There are oils available in fruity and sweet flavors that we also considered for this list, as long as natural flavoring was primarily used.

Being able to trust a CBD oil that you put into your body is so important, so we made sure that each product we selected:

CBD oil may seem like it is the answer to your prayers, but if you cant trust a product if you cant trust a brand. Therefore, we also looked for indicators of user trust and solid brand reputation, such as:

While research into the effectiveness of CBD in managing pain is still ongoing, according to the National Centers for Complementary and Integrative Health, some evidence suggests that CBD could have modest benefits for chronic pain.

Plus, a 2020 review in Frontiers in Pharmacology found that CBD could have numerous health benefits besides relieving chronic pain, including reducing inflammation and improving sleep. Additional research indicates that CBD may help with neuropathic pain caused by damage to the nerves and aid in the management of arthritic pain.

While more evidence is needed to determine the full therapeutic potential of CBD in managing pain including in effective and safe dosages based on current research CBD may be a viable natural alternative to prescription pain medications.

Furthermore, CBD is generally well tolerated by most people, with side effects tending to be mild and temporary, such as fatigue, diarrhea, and changes in appetite. Whereas the side effects of prescription medications for pain can have more significant side effects such as mood changes, side effects, and headaches, as well as the dangers of chemical dependency.

There are three primary types of CBD that feature in CBD oils, which are:

If youre trying CBD for the first time, its best to be cautious and start with a smaller dose, with between 10 and 15mg being a good starting point. If you dont feel the desired effects you can increase the dose by 5mg at a time, but do so gradually as taking too much could lead to increased fatigue and diarrhea.

To administer CBD oil is very simple. You take the dropper filled with your desired dose of oil and dispense the drops under your tongue and hold them there for 30 to 60 seconds to maximize absorption. It will take between 15 and 30 minutes before you start to notice the effects and they can last anywhere from 4 to 8 hours.

Before taking CBD for the first time, its important you consult with your doctor as it may interact with certain medications or over-the-counter dietary supplements.

Health professionals recommend women avoid using CBD during pregnancy, as cannabinoids can affect certain hormones including estrogen which are vital for maintaining reproductive health. Therefore, CBD should also be avoided when breastfeeding or taking certain contraceptive medications.

CBD oils and tinctures may have the advantage over other CBD products for pain. The CBD from oil is absorbed much quicker than with any other edibles since it enters the bloodstream directly through the blood vessels. Therefore, relief from pain and inflammation and other beneficial effects of CBD kick in quickly.

However, CBD oils can be an acquired taste and if theyre not your cup of tea you may be looking for an alternative way of using CBD to manage your pain. Thankfully, there are many other types of CBD products that may help ease pain and inflammation, including topical formulations, capsules, nasals sprays, e-liquids, gummies, and other edibles.

While CBD oils address pain throughout the body, topical CBD creams provide localized pain relief, ideal for targeting muscle strains or isolated joint pain. Topical treatments are absorbed directly through the skin providing greater bioavailability of the anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving CBD, for concentrated relief, as well as promoting healthy skin.

Furthermore, topical CBD balms and creams often feature additional active ingredients such as cooling menthol and camphor to provide additional pain-relieving benefits to aid in recovery. CBD creams usually only take around 20 minutes to provide targeted pain relief and the effects can last up to a few hours. Creams can be reapplied as needed.

Usually available in a variety of fruity flavors, CBD gummies are a good option if youre not keen on the earthy, sometimes bitter aftertaste of CBD oil. Just be sure to check your chosen gummies are free of artificial colors or flavors.

While the CBD is not absorbed as quickly from gummies as it is from CBD oil you know exactly how much CBD youre getting with a specific dose infused into each tasty treat. You can expect the effects of CBD gummies to kick in between 30 minutes to an hour after eating.

You should always do your own research before trying out any new health and wellness product, including CBD oils.

You want to look for a company that has a good reputation amongst its customers, with lots of positive reviews from verified buyers. Its also worth checking to see if the CBD oils have been reviewed in detail by independent wellness websites as this gives you a real and in-depth insight into what the product could do for you.

Furthermore, you can satisfy yourself that a CBD brand is selling high-quality products by checking that each batch is third-party tested to ensure all oils, gummies, and whatever else they sell to match the claims on the packaging and is contaminant free and therefore safe to use.

There are two types of cannabinoids: endogenous and exogenous. Endogenous cannabinoids are naturally occurring in the body and exogenous cannabinoids are those found in the cannabis plant, which includes CBD.

Cannabinoids both endogenous and exogenous bind to endocannabinoid receptors that are attached to cells, which stimulates different cell responses that influence pain signaling pathways. This can change the way our body perceives pain, as well as create pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects.

On its own, pure CBD oil tends to have a bitter and earthy place, which is almost grass-like. However, most CBD oils are blended with a carrier oil (such as hemp seed oil) which will offset the bitterness of the CBD. Additionally, many CBD oils include natural flavorings such as fruits, chocolate and mint to make them much more palatable.

While more research is needed, there is evidence that supports the beneficial effect of CBD in managing chronic pain in adults. For example, a study in the Journal of Experimental Medicine found that using CBD consistently can reduce pain and inflammation.

This study also found that those using CBD for pain were not likely to build a tolerance to the effects of CBD. This means that they wouldnt need to increase their dosage over time, which is often the case with over-the-counter or prescription pain medications.

While the terms are often used interchangeably, CBD oils and tinctures are entirely different products. CBD oils are typically made with just two ingredients: CBD oils and a carrier oil, like hemp seed oil or medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) coconut oil.

A CBD tincture is an alcohol-based extract. High-proof alcohol is used as a solvent to extract the natural compounds from the hemp plant, as well as being used in the final product. This method of extraction requires a lot of refinement and can leave a bitter taste. Therefore, tinctures are often mixed with additives, such as natural or artificial sweeteners.

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, and in particularly high concentration in hemp plants. These compounds are what give the characteristic aroma of many plants, such as pine, lavender, and of course cannabis, which help protect the plants from animal grazers and pathogens

However, research has shown that terpenes may also offer health benefits to humans, by acting on the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to cannabinoids, like CBD, mimicking their pain-relieving and calming effects.

There are several terpenes that are believed to help ease pain via anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, including:
