From what I've read they are both used more for pain relief. I spoke with my auntie yesterday for the first time since my break up, she's all for natural healing and she recommended 'rescue remedy' drops and lozenges or valerian root tea.

I've put the lozenges on today's shop so I'll see how they go🤞

Had a few yesterday but still ended up freaking out when he came round to see the kids, throwing things at his car after smacking him round the head and ripping his shirt. Spoke to my auntie and apparently that can happen as it's getting all the tension and anger out ( wish she'd said before I bought them) had a few today and I'm ok, a bit peed off he didn't ask the kids about their first day back at school but otherwise quite chilled

Hemp oil does nothing...it's no more effective than a food suppliment. CBD oil mixed with hemp oil is called: 'CBD complex' ....does very little good except keep the cost down. The straight CBD oil in at least 10-15% is the only one that is fairly effective in calming. I have tried the 5% and it was just very mild calming. But the cost is very high so that's the problem. There is no THC, so it's legal at health food stores and mail order... but you have to be very careful not to get Hemp oil instead...does not work because it has no CBD in it.

I agree about the hemp oil. What I got was Hemp Seed Oil. It tastes like sunflower seeds. It did nothing to calm anxiety. Like you said, it is just a food supplement (Omega 3 or 6 oil).

no it wouldn't ...there isn't anything in it that is active... it's a snake oil switch play on words using the name hemp which is falsely associated with the type of plant used to make CBD.... hemp is a different plant type than the high yield marijuana plant that the CBD oil comes from. The CBD is one of the active compounds called cannabinoids.

A cannabinoid is one of a class of diverse chemical compounds that acts on cannabinoid receptors in cells that alter neurotransmitter release in the brain.

I got it on Amazon and there were people that said it helped. Maybe the placebo effect.

Thanks for educating me. There is so much misinformation out there.

I checked amazon too.... they only have hemp oil... it flat out does not work I don't care what anyone says.... I did my homework extensively and got the 5% CBD oil at a local health food store, and it was somewhat effective.... but to get the real thing and have it be a 10-15% strength, you have to find a reputable online source. Depending on what country you live in, will depend on your distributor.

I've just bought some hemp capsules which I must try. I'll try to remember to let you know after I've taken them for a while x
