CBD oil, on the other hand, is an oil rich in phytocannabinoids that has a high content of cannabidiol (CBD), a natural component of hemp and other cannabis plants. Rather than being made from the seeds of the plant, however, it is made from the flowers, stalks and leaves. It has become an extremely popular product in the health and nutritional products industries, as well as in the medical marijuana industry, as it can be helpful in treating certain conditions without having to worry about the psychoactive or intoxicating effects associated with using marijuana.

The types of conditions that can be treated with CBD oil are many and varied. For example, the product has been shown to help in the treatment of epilepsy, various inflammatory disorders, depression, cancer, neurological disorders, seizures and much more.

The main difference

So what is the main difference between hemp seed oil and CBD oil, aside from the fact that they are made from different parts of the hemp plant?

The primary difference is the amount of CBD that each contains. Hemp seed oil, although rich in omega acids, contains very low levels of CBD (typically less than 25 parts per million or none at all), while CBD oil can range anywhere from 2% to 99.9% CBD depending on product, purity and source.  This is an extremely important distinction.
