Through Essential Eats, we offer nutrient-rich hemp products packed with PUFAs to support your health, energy, and wellness—one delicious, whole-food meal at a time. It all started in March 2019. I was looking to diversify my sports massage business by providing products. While researching for ingredients I stumbled across hemp. I found a research paper praising the benefits of hempseed oil for the skin, especially dry, flaky, eczema skin. Being post-menopausal my skin had become very dry and cracked so I started taking 2 tablespoons of hempseed oil a day. It had a profound effect on my dry hands, I no longer felt compelled to regularly apply hand lotion. More amazing than this, I begun feeling my digestion improve, my energy was balanced, and the pain in my right shoulder (which I had suffered with for years) was gone! I was converted and excited. I couldn't stop raving about this powerful plant. I told my family and friends about hemp so they could experience the incredible benefits for themselves. And so my small idea to add products to my massage business has grown into endless and exciting possibilities of what I can create through Hemp & Co.
