If there is any plant that owns up to the term ‘One-stop solution’ due to its myriad applications, it is Hemp.
Scientifically known as Cannabis Sativa, hemp is etched in history books for its usage that traces back more than 1000 years.
Considered to be the strongest plant fibre in the plant kingdom, hemp has been an essential element to the commerce of the globe for a substantial part of the past.
The first vivid mention of the versatile plant is jotted down in the ancient medicinal script named Chinese Materia Medica, a book that dates back to 50 BCE.
The book was allegedly written by Shen Nung, who is considered the father of irrigation, agriculture, and traditional Chinese medicine.
