About NZ Hempress Talks

Our talks educate kiwi's on the importance of the endocannabinoid system's role in the body and how it supports and balances all the other systems of the body, from the respiratory, circulatory to the lymphatic system. The ECS is the master key that maintains order and balance. Without it, the body can fall out of balance, leading to chaos, disorder and inflammation. A healthy functioning ECS can support a healthy body and mind. 

You can learn more about our vision, mission and how we're transforming the health of kiwi's across Aotearoa with our NZ Hempress Talks here. Be sure to follow the links above to learn more about the NZ Hemp Industries Association.
