Medicinal Properties and Therapeutic Effects of Hemp Seeds

Hemp seeds promote digestion and facilitate gastrointestinal motility, effectively alleviating constipation and dry stools. They also moisten the lungs and relieve dryness, making them useful for treating coughing, wheezing, and dry, itchy throats—with notably favorable clinical outcomes. Additionally, hemp seeds support cardiac repair and offer protective benefits to the heart.

Hemp seeds are elliptical or ovoid, slightly flattened, measuring 0.9–1.8 cm in length and 0.5–1.0 cm in width. Their surface is smooth, displaying mottled patterns in grayish-white and brownish-black, or yellowish-brown and reddish-brown. One side is flat while the other is convex; the flat side bears a prominent seed ridge. At one end, there is a grayish-white or light brown protrusion. The seed coat is thin and brittle; the endosperm is thick, white, and oily. Two cotyledons are present—thin and tasteless.
