Raw hemp fabric in various textures
At Pang Wangle, we love hemp—and for good reason. It’s the star fiber in our Breezy Hemp Pants, and honestly, it deserves the spotlight. Hemp is one of the most renewable and eco-friendly fabrics on the planet. It grows fast, needs far less water than cotton, and doesn’t rely on harsh chemical pesticides. It’s gentle on the Earth—and on you.
The hemp plant grows in versatile climates with minimal water and no pesticides needed.
Even better? Hemp fabric is naturally breathable, durable, and has antimicrobial properties. It helps keep you fresh, even in punishing heat or on a bug-filled trail. It’s built for comfort, sustainability, and a life outdoors.
And now, we’ve got yet another reason to love with this wonder plant.
Hemp seed oil interferes with the growth of malaria parasites.
Hemp Seed Oil and Malaria Relief
Recent research by IND HEMP and the National Hemp Association has uncovered an exciting new use for hemp: helping in the global fight against malaria.
Turns out, hemp seed oil—yes, from the same plant that gives us that breezy, breathable fiber—is packed with essential fatty acids like Omega-3 and Omega-6. And these nutrients may do more than support heart and brain health; they could actually help weaken malaria parasites in the body.
So, How Does It Work?
Hemp seed oil’s unique nutritional profile may help:
-
Disrupt the parasite’s lifecycle: Certain fatty acids in the oil can induce oxidative stress that may interfere with malaria parasite growth.
-
Reduce inflammation: Malaria often triggers intense inflammatory responses. Hemp seed oil contains Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA), a powerful anti-inflammatory, which could help reduce symptoms and improve outcomes.
-
Support immune function: By nourishing the body with vital fats, hemp seed oil might boost overall resilience against infection.
A Natural, Sustainable Approach
What makes this especially exciting is that hemp is sustainable and accessible—it grows in diverse climates and can thrive with minimal inputs. That makes it a promising crop for malaria-endemic regions, offering both a health boost and an economic opportunity.
