What is the Endocannabinoid System?
To understand how CBD works, let’s talk about your endocannabinoid system, an organ system that’s rarely discussed and was only recently discovered in the 1990s.
Your endocannabinoid system helps regulate a number of your bodily functions including your appetite, digestion, immune function, stress and mood, and sleep. It’s made of these three components:
Endocannabinoids
Endocannabinoids are naturally produced & responsible for interacting with the cannabinoid receptors.
Cannabinoid Receptors
Cannabinoid receptors are attached to cell membranes in your body and regulate processes like appetite, pain management & immune function.
Enzymes
Enzymes play a vital role in breaking down the endocannabinoids.
How does CBD Interact with the Endocannabinoid System?
When CBD bonds with cannabinoid receptors, it helps improve their function, which can help you achieve optimal health. It may also be beneficial if your body is suffering from cannabinoid deficiency. In such cases, it may help prevent irritability, headaches, and a plethora of other health problems.
Think of CBD as your endocannabinoid system’s best friend. It can help activate endocannabinoids so that they can work their magic at times when your body is lacking the cannabinoids it needs to function optimally.
