Hemp oil question

[Daniellekitty]

Hello, I am new here. Found it by searching for information on Hemp Oil. There is a rumour going around that it can be beneficial to psoriasis sufferers and I wanted to investigate further. 
I would like to know if anyone has any experience or thoughts on Hemp Oil use. I would like to know if it really is a rumour before I spend money on buying some.
What do the experts say?
Is it another fad?
Do I drink it, rub it in or put it into my food?

Thanks for any response in advance.

First off there are no experts here, we are just people with psoriasis sharing our experiences. Personally I think we know better than the "Experts" as we live with it, but that's a different story.

I have sent you a message to let you know I moved your post here as it may get noticed better by other members, I don't know what you do with it but for what it's worth if you want my opinion I wouldn't bother.

Hi Danielle and    to the forum I'm sorry I have no knowledge of hemp oil what little I've read is inconclusive and I wouldn't spend a lot of money on it
We have a thread on here you can read Hemp Hand Oil - anyone tried it?

And one on hemp hearts not exactly what you want but may be of interest Hemp Hearts

I would look at other natural treatments while you are here there are many threads in the natural treatment board .
Enjoy your time with us and if you have any other questions just shout out

Hi Danielle
I have been using Hemp oil for just over a year 
Hemp oil has just the right ratio of 3-1 of omega 3 and 6 the human body needs. you drink it i take a tables spoon a day, you can cook with it too like coconut oil, They say it has a nutty taste but i don't think it has i don't like the taste of it but i wouldn't stop taking it
You can get it in capsules but they work out expensive as i think you have to take a lot of them to get the benefit
Hemp oil is great  for your mental health too
A table spoon a day and after 3 weeks you will just feel better , for me and some mates i told about it ,it was like flicking a switch on  

Hope this helps a bit

Welcome!

Much like everything else there will be some who feel it helps and others who don't. I think you're smart to research it before buying. From what I understand it's more healthy than using animal fats for cooking and can have some overall health benefits. I think anytime you're boosting your health you are certainly doing something positive. As a treatment for psoriasis by itself, my opinion is probably no. I use coconut oil for instance (cooking and applied like a cream), but I wouldn't ever tell anyone that it is going to clear up psoriasis... it just helps with the dryness and itching.

So yes, it can be beneficial to overall health but I don't know of any study that says the benefits are specifically for psoriasis sufferers. Of course anytime you are in better health it can improve your bodies defense when dealing with any disease.
