What is Hemp?

Hemp is a versatile plant from the Cannabis sativa family that has been used for thousands of years. It’s known for its industrial applications (like fabric, ropes, and paper) and wellness benefits through naturally occurring compounds like hemp extract.

What is Hemp Extract?

Hemp extract comes from the flowers and leaves of the hemp plant, where powerful compounds called cannabinoids are found. These compounds interact with your body to support balance, calm, and overall well-being.

Hemp FAQs: Get the Facts

Will Hemp Get You High?

No. Hemp extract does not produce intoxicating effects. While technically psychoactive (because it interacts with your brain), hemp will not cause a “high” like other compounds found in cannabis.

Does Hemp Show Up on Drug Tests?

Drug tests do not screen for hemp specifically. However, many tests do detect THC—the compound responsible for intoxication. While hemp products contain minimal amounts of THC (within legal limits), it’s always best to check with your provider if you’re concerned.

How Long Does It Take to Feel the Effects of Hemp?

Everyone’s body responds differently to hemp. Some may feel effects within a few days, while others notice benefits over 4-6 weeks of consistent use. Patience and consistency are key—start low and gradually increase until you find your sweet spot.

The Benefits of Hemp

Hemp is a wellness powerhouse that supports your body in multiple ways. Here are a few ways our community members report using hemp in their daily lives:

• Promotes a sense of calm and focus

• Helps manage everyday stress

• Aids in exercise recovery and reduces inflammation

• Supports restful sleep and healthy sleep cycles

How Does Hemp Make You Feel?

While experiences vary, many users describe a feeling of overall balance and relaxation. Zakah Life® customer Lisa shared, “After consistent use, I’ve noticed significant improvements in my well-being and daily calm.”

Understanding Hemp Oil

What is Hemp Oil?

Hemp oil is derived from hemp plant parts (flowers, leaves, and stems) using processes like CO2 extraction. This preserves the plant's beneficial compounds, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids.

How to Use Hemp Oil

Start with a small amount, such as a quarter dropper, once a day. Observe how your body responds, then slowly increase the amount as needed. Establishing a routine is key to experiencing hemp's benefits.

Hemp for Dogs: Supporting Your Furry Friends

Is Hemp Safe for Dogs?

Yes! Hemp interacts with a dog’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), just like it does in humans, providing similar calming and wellness benefits.

How Much Hemp Oil Should I Give My Dog?

Start with a low amount and gradually adjust. Dogs are more sensitive to hemp, so they typically require smaller servings. Always follow the product's guidelines for the best results.

Benefits of Hemp for Dogs:

• Supports calm behavior

• Aids joint health and mobility

• Promotes overall well-being

Hemp Topicals: Targeted Relief

What is Hemp Cream?

Hemp-infused creams, like Zakah Life® balms and lotions, provide soothing, targeted care for specific areas of your body—perfect for daily aches, post-workout recovery, or simply nurturing your skin.

Can You Travel with Hemp Cream?

What is Hemp Balm Used For?

Hemp balms are excellent for areas that need extra attention. Whether you're targeting sore thighs, joints, or muscles, hemp-infused balms deliver quick relief and botanical nourishment.

Where Can You Buy Hemp Products?

High-quality hemp products are available online, in wellness stores, and at local pharmacies. For the purest and most trusted products, look for brands like Zakah Life® that prioritize transparency, quality testing, and natural ingredients.
