What is the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)?
The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a complex, biological network found in all humans.
It plays a key role in maintaining internal balance or homeostasis by regulating how our body responds to pain, stress, sleep, inflammation, immunity, and mood.
This system includes:
- Endocannabinoids (natural compounds made by the body)
- Receptors (CB1 and CB2) located in the brain, immune system, and organs
- Enzymes that break down these compounds after use
CBD and other phyto-cannabinoids bind to ECS receptors to help the body:
- Manage stress and anxiety
- Support better sleep
- Regulate pain and inflammation
- Improve appetite and digestion
- Strengthen immune response
By supporting the ECS, cannabinoids promote natural healing and balance without disrupting normal function.
