These are mainly essential fatty omega-3 and omega-6 acids - these are linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid, GLA, and the rare gamma-linolenic acid. Essential they said because he is a human body can not produce itself and must be received or absorption of food.
Essential fatty acids also serve as building blocks for the creation of endocannabinoids. These substances work in the endocannabinoid system, which keeps a balance in the vital systems in our body. It has a great influence on the immune system, which probably plays an important role not only in the presence of atopy, as well as psoriasis and acne.

How to recognize a skin problem?
Problematic skin often already know from the fact that it is unusually dry. Dry skin is not a disease as such but is a symptom of a serious health problem. Some forms of dry skin can be congenital and include most of atopy manifesting atopic eczema. Dry skin can occur but the effects of other influences in our environment, whether it is affected by age, disease or taking certain medications.
Dry skin created by reducing the fat content in the skin, namely the loss of ceramide, which is due to the disease or the environment. Ceramides from the skin wash such as washing dishes, hand washing and cleaning using detergents. Lack of ceramide production has resulted in disruption of skin barrier function, which is especially true for young children. Water from deeper layers reaches the surface, the skin and dries quickly and is itching for that force to scratching. Of course, this skin condition worse infection and opens the gate.

Much more effective are ointments with hemp oil with added extracts from the flowers of hemp.These are produced in Czech only. Industrial hemp used to make this extract contains a number of cannabinoids (CBD mainly), which is also found in hemp oil, but the banned tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is not represented in significant concentrations.
Often just an ordinary outdoor cannabis (the genetic basis of privet), which in our climatic conditions, typically reach, if left to nature, about 5% THC potency. Cannabinoids is a synergy, so that mutually reinforce their therapeutic effects, and if any of the main cannabinoids are missing, as is the case with industrial hemp sadly they can not fully express the therapeutic potential of this plant.

Cannabis extract may be painted directly on the affected areas, or pre-dissolve in pure alcohol to give evenly applied to the skin when people place a greater extent.
