Holland’s Hemp History

Hemp is one of the oldest crops domesticated by man. The history of hemp in Holland also goes back for thousands of years. The stalk of the hemp-plant produces one of the strongest natural fibres that were used to make things like rope, textile and paper. Also the seed of the hemp-plant contains high-grade food oil that was also used for lamp oil, the production of paint and (green!) soap.

Ingestion Method for Essential Oils

**Caution – not all essential oils are created equal, therefore when using the ingestion method of essential oils read your labels and do your research before taking any internally. You only want high quality therapeutic grade and ones that are (GRAS) generally regarded as safe by the FDA. DO NOT attempt to do this with any store bought essential oil, even the ones you find at a health food store, as they may not be pure enough!

Respect must always be taken in regards to the power of an essential oil. In most cases, one or two of drops is plenty! Consider this: one drop of Peppermint equals 28 cups of Peppermint tea! The essential oils I use are never diluted and they are free of any chemicals, and third party verified.

They are very potent and you...
