Many researchers have started looking into the different aspects of different cannabis products, hoping to prove the benefits of the products. CBD and medical cannabis are common subjects of these studies. These specifically show how people can use them to treat pain, sleep, and epilepsy. However, a recent study decided to take a different route of looking for the potential benefits. The study looked into hemp clothing, laced with CBD, and its effect on the human body.

Study

For the study, the researchers looked into the phenolic acids content. Researchers use this to find the chemical composition of hemp fibers. They also used the Ferric Ion Reducing Antioxidant Power FRAP antioxidant activity of the hemp fabric. This involves seeing how it affects the wearer. The study involved the researchers recruiting 15 volunteers for six weeks and evaluating the effect of the hemp garment on their skin. The researchers tested the parameters twice, before and after six weeks of hemp clothing wearing. They tested this by using the methodology by including measurements of skin biophysical properties. These properties include tests of skin moisture, transepidermal water loss, and sebum, which is the oil that forms on skin. The researchers also tested the effects of the substances on the fabrics  on the skin cells of the wearer.

Results

Upon completing the study, the researchers found that using this material for clothing was safe and had no adverse effects. Additionally, they found that the fabric had an influence on slowing down skin aging.

Discussion

The results of this study showed that there was another possible use for both hemp and CBD. The fact that there was no adverse effects from using it as clothing and that it could potentially be used as a skin care product as an additional benefit further shows their benefits. It is the hopes of activists that as more studies show more of these benefits, it will push lawmakers towards comprehensive legalization.
