CBD Creams


It is against the law in Europe to make medical claims for cosmetic ingredients. Due to the current indeterminate legal status of Hemp products, CBD can only be made available as a cosmetic.

Therefore information, claims or knowledge concerning any possible medical benefits from the use of these unguents are unavailable on this page or on any Love Quota instructions. 

Anecdotal/experiential, blogged or word of mouth information and your own research into the listed essential oils and cbd*  (which we  provide), will guide you in choosing the right product for your condition

Although we will not be able to make many public we would very much like to hear your experiences in using these products especially if negative and also of course any benefits that you derive from by the use of creams and salves.

Let’s start by being clear; CBD a cannabis derivative it.

Cannabis is one type of flowering plant in the family of Cannabaceae. The number of species within the genus is disputed; two or three. Although the plants are indigenous to central Asia and the Indian subcontinent they can be found over the whole world including The Arctic and the Antarctic due to humanity’s long held love of them.
Cannabis is and has been for 1000’s of years, used for fibre, oils, medicinal purposes and as a recreational substance. Each type of cannabis plant is selected to produce an abundance of fibre, oil or psychotropic substances, in the last decade a much larger percentage of production is being focused on the supposedly medicinal components.

CBD or Cannabidiol has receptors*1 in the human brain and immune system, most densely in the spleen. Iit is one of 113 cannabinoids; chemical compounds that act on cannabinoid receptors in the human brain and immune system, most densely in the spleen.

Yes, the human brain and body has points which are there solely (it would seem) to receive/perceive/absorb, these specific substances from this family of plants! The same receptors have been found in mammals, fish, birds and reptiles.

CBD is said to have unmeasurable (nil) psychotropic effect and many beneficial qualities. It appears to be safe but a review in 20171 recommended continued research. It is said to be able to support neural pathways and aid their repair, while maintaining a healthy balance in both body and mind.

Extracts 4 Life have been producing and supplying cbd oil for a number of years, their clients are eager to benefit from CBD’s supposed benefits for a number of illnesses as well as for treating anxiety2, stress3,4, and pain5.

There were a number of clients who for one reason or another didn’t want to topically apply the oil that they were taking internally. Extracts for Life pride themselves on their service orientation probably more than any other factor in their production except high quality.

The requests that came in were pretty specific, they were from the many with gym subscriptions, people working inheated or hot conditions, the elderly and people with skin issues.

At the beginning of 2019 LQB a small scale producer making high quality skin products to produce a line of unguents that combine LQB’s trademark essential oil efficacy with the seemingly magical properties of CBD

An oil is "essential" in the sense that it contains the "essence" and characteristics of a plant's fragrance and/or healing properties. The use of essential oils  has been dated back to 4500 BCE. 

EO's are used to ease a wide assortment of ailments, one of the reasons is because they leave no dangerous toxins in the body. They are commonly used in manufacturing, chemical, pharmaceutical industries, as well as in cosmetics, perfume and beauty products.

According to numerous sources EO's are incredibly effective at healing and offer a natural way to improve your entire body's functioning. They are absorbed through the skin, so as well as an oil's properties they also moisturise and nourish.
It is important to recognize that for many natural remedies to be effective, they need to be used on a daily basis.

To finish the point I was making...!

I am not saying that modern medicine is evil or that people shouldn't use it.

I am am saying we need to understand that for all the benefits there is so much damage and so many deaths being hidden that it is only sensible to doubt whether the positive outweighs them.

More importantly medicines are designed to maintain profits for huge multinationals by maintaining the use of their product.

Modern pharmaceuticals are not designed to cure, they are not designed for the recipients best health or welfare.
