The Ancient Art of Cold-Pressing Hemp
At Conklin and Chemist, we don't follow modern shortcuts. Instead, we honor a time-tested tradition that dates back thousands of years — the same method ancient Greeks used to press olives for their prized olive oil.
Why Hand-Pressing Matters
Most botanical oils on the market today are extracted using harsh chemical solvents or high-heat extraction methods. While these methods are fast and cheap, they destroy the delicate compounds that make whole-plant hemp so beneficial.
Our hand-pressing method is different:
- No Heat: We use cold-pressing to preserve the natural enzymes, terpenes, and fatty acids
- No Chemicals: Just pure mechanical pressure, the way nature intended
- Whole Plant: We press the entire hemp plant — seeds, stalks, and flowers — to capture the full spectrum of nutrients
The Greek Connection
The ancient Greeks understood that gentle, mechanical pressing preserved the integrity of the plant. Their olive oil wasn't just food — it was a cornerstone of wellness, used for nourishment and vitality.
We've adapted this same philosophy for hemp. By pressing slowly and carefully, we create a fat-soluble, whole-plant oil that your body recognizes and absorbs naturally.
The Result: Master Oil
What you get is a raw, potent oil that contains:
- Full-spectrum whole-plant botanicals
- Natural plant waxes and chlorophyll
- Essential fatty acids (Omega 3, 6, and 9)
- Terpenes and flavonoids for the entourage effect
This is wellness the way it was meant to be — pure, powerful, and rooted in ancient wisdom.
