    Own less. Do more – Nomadix, The Only Towel You Need

    After so many unexpected things happened in 2020, we have to rethink about our lives. I believe, you are like me, we were all expecting for a brand new and wonderful decade at the end of 2019. But who knows, our year of 2020 would be like this. We stay at home, we wear masks to go out, we can’t hangout with friends, and we even hesitate to visit our parents. Sorry to be so sad, but the year of 2020 gives us a lesson, we don’t need too much things in our life and we need to protect our earth.

    Part of living with less means using what you already have. You never waste a thing. With so much plastic waste floating in our oceans and trashing our communities, Nomadix has committed to using post-consumer recycled materials for everything they make. And since their fibers are designed to dry quickly and resist bacteria that cause towel funk, you can wash less and save precious water.

    All of Nomadix products are made using
    certified post-consumer recycled plastic
    and contribute to 1% For The Planet.

    Through years of research and development into turning recycled plastics into durable and versatile fibers, developing responsible manufacturing practices, avoiding harmful dyes that waste and pollute our water, Nomadix protects the world we love and live together at.

    The Only Towel You Need™ is a high-performance yoga towel, beach towel, and travel towel all-in-one. Nomadix designed this product to be versatile without sacrificing performance, so you can own less and do more. Made with post-consumer recycled plastic bottles, these towels are durable, lightweight, and buttery soft. They pack down small for easy travel so you can take them on any adventure.

    Israel’s First & Largest Cannabis Company Launches in Nevada

    The United States will experience a wellness revolution through a new line of  clinically-proven, proprietary cannabis products from Tikun Olam, a premier science based cannabis provider rooted in the world capital of medical cannabis: Israel. Following the success of their pilot program in Delaware, and uniquely positioned to revolutionize health & wellness for the nation, the groundbreaking medical and adult use lifestyle brand, Tikun™, will continue its U.S. expansion with a launch throughout Nevada in April 2017.

     Israel has been at the forefront of medical cannabis research since 1964, when Professor Raphael Mechoulam, considered the “Father of Cannabis” headed the team that first isolated THC and later discovered that THC interacts with the largest receptor system in the human body- the endocannabinoid system. These medical advances spurred Tikun Olam to launch as Israel’s first medical cannabis provider in 2007.

     Tikun Olam continues to lead the way with groundbreaking research, patient care, strain genetics, agronomy and advanced extraction techniques in the global cannabis field. They established the first professionally staffed clinic dedicated to helping patients medicate properly through precise dosage and specific strains. This resulted in the world’s first and largest database of patient feedback which guided the development of life improving strains for specific symptoms. This patient feedback also led to the development of a high-CBD strain,Avidekel™, acclaimed as “highless marijuana” by Reuters and a revolutionary step in the therapeutic use of cannabis.

     “Tikun Olam is the gold standard for pharmaceutical grade medical cannabis production in both Israel and Canada. The US cannabis market is becoming more sophisticated, looking beyond high-THC content to demand medically-proven, quality products for therapeutic cannabis use as part of a healthy lifestyle,” according to Bernard Sucher, CEO of T.O. Global LLC. “We are confident that entering the medical and adult-use U.S. market with a genuine approach to health and wellness, will position Tikun for a successful expansion where regulated markets exist.”

     Known as “Tikun™” in the United States, the intellectual property, cultivation methodologies, scientific collaboration, and overall best practices of Tikun Olam, will be utilized in production with their licensed partners CW Nevada LLC. The products will initially be launched at CW Nevada’s dispensaries and then rolled out to other dispensaries throughout the state. Tikun’s products will be available in flower, vape cartridges, topical creams, tinctures and edibles through six unique strains derived from the Israeli catalog of sixteen.  According to Tikun Olam’s patient testimonials, their strains have shown a marked improvement in the overall quality of life for 85% of patients treated, as well as alleviating symptoms related to Crohn’s, Colitis,  Parkinson’s, PTSD, AIDS and Cancer, just to name a few. 

     Tikun’s strains range from Alaska™, a high-THC sativa, known for its uplifting and invigorating qualities, to several high-THC indica strains such as Erez™, Or™, and Eran Almog™, known to be exceptional for pain management and the relief of various health conditions. The most revolutionary strains in the Tikun catalogue are Midnight™, created on a balanced 1:1 ratio of THC & CBD, likely to be popular among those looking for a daytime, mild effect; and Avidekel, the first ever high-CBD strain in the world, cultivated by Tikun Olam five years ago and named as more effective than generic CBD in clinical studies throughout Jerusalem.

     In the coming years, Tikun plans to continue building upon the patient trusted heritage that has defined their innovative leadership within the burgeoning cannabis industry. The experts of Tikun Olam will continue to break new ground by engineering products that cultivate pathways to new markets, catering to all those who seek an active and healthy lifestyle in every legally regulated market  in the United States.

    About T.O. Global LLC (USA):

    T.O. Global LLC  opened its operations in 2015.  T.O.Global LLC, whose brand is known nationally as Tikun™, is intent on expanding its branded products in the United States and plans to penetrate the legal cannabis marketplace through professionally licensed producers in all states where medical cannabis has been legalized.

Building on the scientific advancements, clinical research and extensive data pool of Tikun Olam, Tikun is positioned to serve as the pharmaceutical backbone for superior health & wellness products in the United States.
