hemp root oil

Hemp root oil is a lipid-based extract derived from the roots of the *Cannabis sativa* plant. Unlike hemp seed oil or CBD oil, hemp root oil contains negligible amounts of cannabinoids like THC and CBD. Instead, its chemical profile is characterized by triterpenoids such as friedelin and epifriedelanol, which possess documented anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Historically used in traditional medicine for treating inflammation, joint pain, and skin burns, the oil is typically produced by macerating dried roots in a carrier oil or through lipid extraction. Modern research suggests its potential in topical applications for pain management and skin health, though it remains primarily in the realm of nutraceuticals and traditional remedies rather than regulated pharmaceuticals.
