Hemp Seed Enzyme

Hemp seeds are slightly beneficial in boosting energy, have a sweet taste, and are neutral in nature. They are associated with the spleen, stomach, and large intestine meridians. They have the following effects:

1. Promoting Bowel Movements:
   Hemp seeds help to lubricate the intestines and promote bowel movements. They stimulate the intestinal mucosa to increase secretion, accelerate peristalsis, and reduce the absorption of water by the large intestine, thereby aiding in bowel movements. Due to their high content of fatty oils, hemp seeds act as a lubricant laxative

2. Promoting Urination and Blood Circulation:
   The sweet taste of hemp seeds can tonify the middle and benefit the blood. When the blood vessels are restored, blood stasis is resolved. Hemp seeds enrich the blood and nourish the yin, and can break down blood stasis. Although not a blood tonic, they have the effect of promoting blood circulation. They are used for dysentery, irregular menstruation, scabies, joint stiffness, hair loss, insufficient lactation, difficult labor, transverse fetal presentation, bruises, and injuries.

3. Entering the Spleen and Nourishing Yin:
   Hemp seeds are sweet, neutral, and smooth, with a balance of gentleness and strength. They can enter the spleen and nourish its yin fluids. When combined with white peony root, they can also treat stomach issues.

4. Replenishing Deficiency and Growing Muscle:
   For those with yin deficiency and weak qi who experience excessive sweating, hemp seeds can harmonize the yin and yang energies, expel pathogenic wind, and stop sweating. They are used for symptoms such as physical fatigue, joint pain, emaciation, and a pale complexion. However, hemp seeds are slightly toxic, and excessive consumption of roasted hemp seeds may cause poisoning, leading to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and limb numbness. If these symptoms occur, seek medical attention promptly.
