THE ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM
Cannabis has been consumed as food and used therapeutically for thousands of years; however, it is only recently that we have begun to understand just how this amazing plant benefits such a wide range of conditions. The answer lies in the special relationship that the plant has with the chemistry of our body, through its interactions with our own endocannabinoid system.
The endocannabinoid system regulates some of our most vital life functions, including memory, immune response, pain, digestion, motor function, appetite, sleep patterns, mood and emotions, protection of brain and neural tissues, and so much more.
The endocannabinoid system is a network of cannabinoid receptors that are like locks. When our body is functioning optimally, it produces cannabinoids that act as keys that activate these locks. When our body is out of balance, it is unable to produce sufficient cannabinoids, resulting in disease, disorder, and chronic illness.
Cannabinoids from the cannabis plant are very similar to our body’s own endocannabinoids and they too can act as keys, supplementing our body’s natural supply and activating these receptors to correct and return our body to a state of homeostasis and well-being.
If you are interested in understanding more about the endocannabinoid system and the incredible relationship between your body and the Cannabis plant, we highly recommend taking some time to watch these videos listed below:
We have several care packages that can help to activate the endocannabinoid system.
We highly recommend our kick start your health kit or The pain and inflammation kit.
