Many of us have heard of CBD and possibly seen those three letters displayed across storefronts. But, what exactly is it? CBD is also known as cannabidiol, which is a common cannabinoid found in both hemp and marijuana plants. When used on a regular basis, CBD may offer a spectrum of therapeutic effects. It does so by interacting with our body’s endocannabinoid system (this plays an important role in our central nervous system [CNS] development), which is what regularly processes our mood, immune response, and sleep. One of the most compelling aspects of CBD, specifically in topical form, is its ability to target localized discomfort, making it an ideal companion for anyone leading an active lifestyle.  The quest for plant-powered products that help soothe tired muscles, and promote joint health, is a perpetual one. Amidst this pursuit, having witnessed the therapeutic effects of CBD, Global Xtracts rose into the scene.

Global Xtracts extends beyond the typical wellness brand by upholding the highest standards of quality, transparency, and scientific integrity. Their journey to search for natural alternatives that could improve overall well-being, led the way to creating a brand built on plant-powered goodness. “We are firm believers that even the smallest actions we put into the world and into our community, can have a profound effect on mankind at large,” says the team at Global Xtracts. “We have embarked on a mission to bring the finest CBD the world has to offer.”

HOW CBD WORKS

To provide a bit more background, this is how CBD works in the body. CBD directly engages with the endocannabinoid system (also known as ECS) which regulates homeostasis in the body. CBD may modulate the activity of CB1 and CB2 receptors, and interact with non-cannabinoid receptors. This interaction goes to various neurotransmitter systems, which impacts serotonin, dopamine, and glutamine, contributing to the overall sense of well-being associated with CBD.

COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT CBD

Some individuals may be hesitant about purchasing CBD-based products because they are quite unfamiliar with it and may immediately associate it with marijuana. They do have a point in the fact that CBD is present in marijuana plants, and especially present in hemp. Hemp happens to be legal in many places due to its low THC levels, but unlike THC, CBD does not cause a psychoactive high. CBD may offer therapeutic benefits that contribute to human wellness, while not altering one’s state of consciousness. CBD is also not addictive. In fact, numerous studies have shown a very low potential for abuse.

Another common misconception is that CBD is only supposed to be used to help remedy specific health issues. This is false. Just like anything you may do and take to maintain your health and well-being, CBD can be incorporated on a regular basis. A pushback from using CBD may also stem from not knowing how much you should take. The truth is, the optimal dosage can vary from person to person, as everyone may react differently. With the consultation of a medical professional, CBD can be added to your daily wellness routine.  When it comes to CBD, consistency, in terms of use, is a key factor to reaping its full therapeutic potential. It’s important to note that CBD infused products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. While it may serve as a holistic catalyst to overall well-being, it’s not a substitute for ailments requiring medical care.

There happens to be an overwhelming amount of misconceptions surrounding CBD as well as the products. If you search for CBD online, you will immediately be flooded with different types of edibles, topicals, oils, capsules, etc. There are many different factors that come into play when selecting a CBD product, such as the source (hemp-derived, organically grown), the type (isolate, broad or full spectrum), extraction methods, additional ingredients, manufacturing process, third-party testing and reviews. Pricing, quality and consistency also matter in the selection process. With this in mind, by incorporating these elements along with naturally-derived ingredients, Global Xtracts CBD offers its customers a premium choice when it comes to CBD topicals.

ABOUT GLOBAL XTRACTS’ CBD BALM

The 2000mg CBD Balm is a moisturizing salve that is used to help soothe muscle and joint discomfort at its source. You can enjoy potent yet soothing topical relief, plus a layer of skin-nourishing hydration with Global Xtracts’ nourishing plant-powered balm. This carefully crafted blend is formulated with broad spectrum CBD sourced from US organically grown, premium quality hemp, Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) and naturally derived beeswax and plant extracts. Its rich emollient texture creates the ultimate calming experience, while soothing lavender and eucalyptus essential oils soothe the senses. It’s ideal for those seeking the benefits of CBD through topical application. The product is for topical use only.

Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) -  These lightweight, easily absorbed fats do not just stop at moisturizing – they excel at nurturing and revitalizing the skin. MCTs boast powerful antioxidant properties, safeguarding against free radicals that contribute to premature aging. Their ability to deeply penetrate the skin's layers ensures a thorough, non-greasy hydration, leaving skin soft and supple. Moreover, MCTs exhibit antimicrobial properties and effortlessly accommodate various skin types, providing a natural, gentle solution for sensitive skin.

Beeswax is extremely versatile and is actually considered a powerhouse for the skin. It is rich in vitamin A, which helps with skin cell regeneration. It also has properties, which can help soothe irritated skin and prevent infections. Many actually use beeswax as a moisturizer that serves as a protective barrier that is able to shield against environmental elements. The best part about beeswax is that it is non-comedogenic, which means that it works well with every skin type without clogging pores.

The essential oils add the finishing touch to the CBD Balm. Beyond its enchanting scent, lavender oil is known for its calming properties. Inhaling lavender's soothing aroma can induce a sense of tranquility, making it an ideal remedy for tension and stress. Its natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory attributes contribute to skin health. With its gentle sedative effects, lavender oil encourages a restful night’s sleep.

Eucalyptus essential oil is also infused into Global Xtracts’ 2000mg balm. The refreshing scent of eucalyptus naturally awakens the senses, promoting mental clarity. Blended into Global Xtracts balm, it offers skin purifying qualities and a rejuvenating touch. On its own, eucalyptus essential oil emerges as an aromatic powerhouse, breathing vitality and freshness into every aspect of life.

Incorporating these naturally-derived ingredients, Global Xtracts CBD Balm becomes a holistic catalyst for relaxation, rejuvenation, and overall well-being.  Its broad spectrum profile is THC free and also free of parabens, phthalates, sulfates, or artificial coloring. Customers can purchase the product knowing that the brand strictly abides by cruelty-free standards. All of these factors are a testament to the quality and efficacy of the product and the reason why 98% of customers keep going back for more. “I call it my miracle balm,” says Tina from Michigan. “I’m always amazed at how quickly it works.”

For best results, using the mini spatula provided, scoop a generous amount of balm, warm it up by rubbing it between your palms and massage it gently onto affected areas. Allow the product to absorb into the skin and reapply as needed throughout the day and at bedtime.
