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.
