What is the Endocannabinoid System and How Does it Work?

In the 1990’s, scientists discovered Endocannabinoids, natural cannabis-like molecules produced by the human body. The Endocannabinoid system maintains bodily homeostasis, biological harmony.

Homeostasis is the concept that most biological systems are actively regulated to maintain conditions within a narrow range. Conditions need to be just right for our cells to maintain optimum performance. Unique mechanisms have evolved to draw our cells back into the normal zone if they move out. The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a vital molecular system for helping maintain their equilibrium.

Endocannabinoid receptors are present throughout the body, including our skin, immune cells, bone, fat tissue, liver, pancreas, skeletal muscle, heart, blood vessels, kidney, and gastrointestinal tract. The ECS is involved in a wide variety of processes, including pain, memory, mood, appetite, stress, sleep, metabolism, immune function, and reproductive function. Endocannabinoids are arguably one of the most widespread and versatile signaling molecules known to man.

This is the reason why CBD, and the other cannabinoids, are needed to ensure that our ECS maintains the delicate balance our bodies need!
