The Science Behind Ayurvedic Healing Properties of Hemp

Whole hemp plants are a gift from nature that has been neglected for far too long. Hemp, one of the five plants considered sacred known as "bhang," was first found in the Indian foothills of the Himalayas. It is also mentioned in the Vedas. Since then, only the negative connotation that has been attached to it has prevented hemp from reaching every household in the nation.

Once its potential consumers are made conscious of its benefits, whether they be on the front of health or the industrial front, removing the misconception would not be very difficult.

In Ayurveda, hemp seed has an extended tradition of being utilized for spiritual and medicinal purposes. It is mentioned in early Ayurvedic writings like the Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Shargandhara Samhitas. The Ananda Kanda contains an entire chapter on hemp that goes into detail about its toxic effects, development, preparation, and use. Most people might be surprised to learn that hemp seeds have been utilized for a long time in Ayurveda.

Hemp in Ayurvedic Literature

Rasa Ratna Tarangini, a work of classical Ayurvedic research from the late 1800s AD, categorizes hemp, or Vijaya as it is called in Sanskrit, as one of the 11 kinds of Upavisha. Poisons with a softer impact are referred to as upa-visas. Although the medical type of hemp lacks these characteristics, the hallucinogenic effects of commercial cannabis are sometimes mistaken for the drug's illicit effects.

As a result, Upavisha is a mild poison that has a gentler impact on a person's health and power. Thus, certain Upa-visas, like Vijaya, are frequently employed in the production of ayurvedic medications after thorough purification. According to Ayurveda, its purification is mentioned as Sweadana in Dugda. A method by which the hemp is tied in a cloth bag and boiled continuously in cow's milk for 3 hours.

Action of Hemp in Doshas

Doshas determine the state of health or disease in a human being according to Ayurveda. Hemp is indicated in all Doshas for the following reasons.

• They are especially healthy for people whose vata predominates since they are a little greasy (Sligdha), dulcet (Madhura), and heavy (Guru). Hemp seeds have a tamasic and somewhat sedative impact that makes them a very effective sleep aid, especially for Vata-dominant people.
• Additionally, they are incredibly effective at balancing Pitta, the dominant Dosha in the blood. Hemp seeds are an excellent source of iron, making them ideal for people who are anaemic.
• However, hemp seed's innate cooling (Sita guna) properties can aggravate Kapha in people who have a predominant Kapha constitution. If the gastrointestinal tract is extremely slow or sluggish, this is felt much more keenly. Consuming hemp seeds may cause slowness or congestion (Mandtva) in people with Kapha constitutions. Again, this is because the digestive system is unable to completely deconstruct the delicious but dense seeds. Thus, in people with Kapha predominance, it is always advised to consume Vijaya with Deepana Pachana herbs like Shundi (dry ginger).

From an Ayurvedic viewpoint, hemp seeds function as a healthy tonic that enhances the general durability of the heart and circulatory system. As long as the gut is healthy, hemp seeds can contribute to the development of cleaner, stronger blood.
