Excellence in Body Management
The History of HempHemp is an ancient plant that has been cultivated for millennia. The Columbia History of the World (1996) states that that weaving of hemp fibre began over 10,000 years ago!
Carbon tests have suggested that the use of wild hemp dates as far back as 8000 B.C.
In Great Britain, hemp cultivation dates back to 800AD. In the 16th Century, Henry VIII encouraged farmers to plant the crop extensively to provide materials for the British Naval fleet. A steady supply of hemp was needed for the construction of battleships and their components. Riggings, pendants, pennants, sails, and oakum were all made from hemp fibre and oil. Hemp paper was used for maps, logs, and even for the Bibles that sailors may have brought on board.
In 17th Century America, farmers in Virginia, Massachusetts and Connecticut were ordered by law to grow Indian hemp. By the early 18th century, a person could be sentenced to jail if they weren’t growing hemp on their land! Hemp was considered to be legal tender. For over 200 years in colonial America, hemp was a currency that one could use to pay their taxes with! (Don’t try that today, kids!)
The 1850 U.S. census documented approximately 8,400 hemp plantations of at least 2000 acres. Strains in cultivation included China hemp, Smyrna hemp and Japanese hemp.
For years, hemp farmers used a hand break operated machine when harvesting. Finally a machine was built that would take care of all the processes, breaking the retted stalks and cleaning the fibre to produce clean, straight hemp fibre which was equal to the best grades prepared on hand brakes. This machine was able to harvest 1000 pounds or more of clean hemp fibre per hour. This breakthrough made cultivating more fiscally attractive by reducing labour costs. By 1920 the hemp crop was entirely handled by machinery.
In 1896 Rudolph Diesel had produced his famous engine. Like many others, Diesel assumed that the diesel engine would be powered by a variety of fuels, especially vegetable and seed oils. Henry Ford of the Ford Motor Company seeing the potential of biomass fuels operated a successful biomass conversion plant producing hemp fuel at their Iron Mountain facility in Michigan. Ford engineers extracted methanol, charcoal fuel, tar, pitch, ethyl acetate and creosote, fundamental ingredients for modern industry. Today these are supplied by oil-related industries.
Drying Hemp for Weaving
An interesting situation arose during World War II as American Farmers were prohibited from producing hemp because of the 1937 law. However, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor halted the importation of Manila hemp from the Philippines, prompting the USDA to rethink their agenda and creating a call to action with the release of the film Hemp for Victory, motivating American Farmers to grow hemp for the war effort. The government formed a private company called War Hemp Industries to subsidize hemp cultivation. One million acres of hemp were grown across the Midwest as part of this program. As soon as the war ended, all of the hemp processing plants were shut down and the industry again disappeared. However, wild hemp may be found scattered across the country.
Prohibition, viewing hemp as a threat, a smear campaign against hemp was started by competing industries, associating hemp with marijuana.
Propaganda films like “Reefer Madness” assured hemp’s demise.
When Congress passed the Marijuana Tax Act in 1937, the decline of hemp effectively began. The tax and licensing regulations of the act made hemp cultivation nearly impossible for American farmers. Anslinger, the chief promoter of the Tax Act, argued for anti-marijuana legislation around the world.
From 1937 until the late 1960s the United States government recognized that Industrial Hemp and marijuana were two distinct varieties of the cannabis plant. After the Controlled Substances Act was passed, hemp was no longer recognized as being distinct from marijuana.

CBD & Our BodyEndocannabinoid System (ECS)
(we all have one)
Our bodies have two main Cannabinoid receptors; CB1 and CB2 as indicated above, which work with our brains. The word “Endo” means “within”, hence the Cannabinoid system within our bodies.
CB1 are abundant in our brains. CB2 are more abundant outside of our nervous system in particular our immune systems.
More than 100 years ago our misguided governments started to ban hemp form the food chain. Hemp is rich in vitamins, B1, B2, B6, D, E, Omega 3 & 6, Antioxidants, Amino acids. In fact all Amino acids essential for optimum healthy life style are found in the hemp plant plus over 220 other compounds.
By following a healthy life style, including increased consumption of hemp products one can “kick start”our ECS systems and improve our quality of life.

TERPENESTerpenes are now in the news due to the prominence of the exciting on-going work with the Cannabis Plant.Terpenes are extracted from various plants, trees, shrubs and flowers. To give a better description; when you are next in florists there literally hundreds of terpenes floating in the air, it’s the fragrance.Terpenes provide the smell and the flavour for many products.
When one smells a terpene the olfactory gland informs your brain, in particular your Limbic system of the presence of a terpene (smell). The Limbic system controls a variety of functions. Additionally the Limbic system transmits signals to release endorphins and serotonin.Terpenes have been used by the ancients. For example Lavender has a terpene known as “Linalool” which is present in many botanicals, especially cannabis. CBD Extracts have natural terpenes in them, however processing of extracts causes terpenes to be reduced therefore reducing the potential health benefits.
At CBD Works we reintroduce terpenes in to extracts giving you, the user, the full potential of the CBD product.Our R&D department have visited manufacturing facilities in Israel (2 companies) Spain (1 company) and the USA (2 companies). The CBD Works are proud to announce the signing of agreements with a group of academic botanical scientists to produce Terpenes and their by products which the CBD Works is bringing to the EU, UK and Irish markets.All CBD Works terpene products are food grade with the majority being organic. Moreover, they are fair trade sourced and cruelty free.

Capsules, Immune Drink Formulas & Powders
CBD Works-ZERO Bio-ECS Powder is micro-encapsulated, cannabidiol-rich hemp extract in modified intermediate food starch.
CBD Works-Zero Bio-ECS CBD Powder addresses one of the key challenges faced by producers of CBD supplements, foods and pharmaceuticals –the low (10-20%) net absorption rate of whole-plant hemp oil in the human digestive system. CBD Works hydrocolloid CBD powder provides materially higher bioavailability and thus more potency per gram.
CBD Works-Zero Bio-ECS Powder can be capsulized and ingested as a dietary supplement, or added to any existing CBD product for increased CBD potency with a smaller dose compared with traditional CBD products.CBD Works-Zero Bio-ECS Powder is more versatile than hemp extracts/oils, easing formulation and inclusion into retail products such as food and beverage products (almost without exception) including protein shakes, juices, soft drinks, coffee, tea, baked goods or frozen goods, or simply added to a glass of water.
The CBD Works uses CBD Works-ZERO Bio-ECS Powder in its formulations for bespoke capsules.The capsules in both 10mg CBD & 25 mg CBD sizes are blended with Hemp Juice Powder, Turmeric Powder and other organic extracts.Co-ingredients: modified food starch, acacia fibre (organic), xanthan gum (organic).Suitable for: Vegan, Vegetarian, Ovo-Vegetarian, Lacto-Vegetarian, Lacto-Ovo-Vegetarian, Halal, Kosher, Gluten Free.
