Learning About Hemp

Everything that touches our skin has a huge impact on the overall day itself, and the most proximal thing to our body is our linens, whether it be in the form of bed sheets or pillow covers. Over the years the growing concern over the impact of cotton on the ecosystem has prompted the demand for alternatives to go up. And among those alternatives, hemp linens have found prominence owing to their numerous qualities. People are now ditching traditional linens to get hemp linens in their homes. And with its excellent growth cycle and positive environmental impacts, Hemp linens are all set to satisfy the demand and become the dominant player in the market.

The earliest uses of Hemp can be traced back to 8000 BC. So why is that this miracle plant is not a common household name.
