Tea from Technical and Medicinal Hemp on Prescription
- Hemp tea can be prepared from both industrial and medicinal hemp
- Both types of tea have significant therapeutic and healing effects
- Hemp tea provides a long-lasting effect with a slow onset compared to smoking
Medicinal hemp can be used "in a thousand ways". The same applies to its methods of application - patients and recreational users can choose whether to smoke, eat, vaporize in herbal form or in extract form, or even drop under the tongue as a tincture. A less known, but equally effective, gentle, and certainly very appealing method is application in the form of hemp tea.
In the following article, you will learn how CBD tea from industrial hemp works, what effects the psychoactive tea with full cannabinoid effect has, and how to prepare these types of teas. If you are interested in only the recipe for preparing teas from "marijuana" and hemp Chai Latte for connoisseurs, you can skip directly to the end of the article.
Tea from Industrial Hemp
If you are not interested in the psychoactive hemp effect, CBD tea from industrial hemp is the right choice for you. The main active ingredient in this type of tea will be CBD, a non-psychoactive phytocannabinoid found in industrial hemp, but also in other, "more classic" plants such as echinacea or cabbage.
Pure CBD from industrial hemp can also be added to your tea in the form of a tincture, which is available in our e-shop.
Preparing this tea is very simple and does not differ from preparing classic tea. It is recommended to use about 1-2 teaspoons of finely ground, well-dried industrial hemp per cup of tea. Pour with hot, boiled water and let it steep for 2-5 minutes. Dosage is entirely up to you. You can also flavor the tea with lemon, sugar, stevia, or milk.
If you choose to prepare CBD tea using cannabidiol tincture, we recommend checking the dosage methods in our article "CBD Dosage".
Healing Effects of CBD Tea
1. Improving Sleep Quality
Insufficient or poor sleep can literally turn you into a walking zombie. Statistically, about 70 million people suffer from fatigue caused by insomnia and sleep disorders. Although CBD can be used for concentration disorders and thus acts similar to caffeine in certain doses for some, patients suffering from sleep disorders praise the improved quality of their rest after consuming CBD tea before sleep.
2. Stress Relief
Stress, which we feel, for example, when working with an approaching deadline, can ultimately boost our productivity, which isn't so bad. Chronic stress, however, is a completely different story - it worsens memory, reduces creativity, and generally seems to lock up a person's psyche. For people who also suffer from anxiety, stress can develop into depression and become even more exhausting.
Fortunately, CBD can help in this situation - studies show its positive, antidepressant effect. In studies conducted on experimental mice exposed to long-term stress, CBD even showed the ability to restore brain memory capacity and support its plasticity. No wonder that hemp tea enthusiasts continuously praise its excellent, antidepressant effects.
3. CBD Provides Help with Nausea
Chronic nausea can be a truly demoralizing experience, and a person suffering from it can feel literally trapped in the bathroom. Even in this case, CBD tea can help - A study published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology proved its effectiveness as an antiemetic - it acts beneficially against nausea.
