ANCIENT GREEK PRESSING METHOD: HOW WE MAKE MASTER OIL
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 CBD oils on the market today are extracted using harsh chemical solvents or high-heat CO2 extraction. While these methods are fast and cheap, they destroy the delicate compounds that make 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 medicine, used for healing and wellness.
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 cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, CBN)
- 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.
