Hemp and Chinese Medicine

Whilst I am a believer in Chinese herbs and particularly in the mix at www.3cordyceps.com , I was intrigued by the discovery of www.basichemp.com

I dont profess to being knowledgeable about hemp, but am definitely prepared to believe that it has values unrelated to its 'druggie' reputation when treated properly. Certainly the use of hemp as a material in clothes etc is well known to me.

However, the key to this in my opinion is the increasing recognition in the so called 'West' of new ingredients that are beneficial to our bodies and the creation of mixes that incorporate traditional Chinese herbs, Ayurvedha and now the likes of hemp.

As the nutraceutical industry expands, we are only going to see more of these combinations, not just in food supplements but also in cosmetics. One key is going to be that we can check the quality and provenance of the ingredients. This will take time, but there are going to be some big winners out there
