Works Every living animal and human has an ECS, an Endocannabinoid System, which consists of endocannabinoids, receptors, and enzymes. This system is a sort of communication network amongst cells throughout the body. Endocannabinoids, which are cannabis-like substances produced naturally by the body, first received their name because of their similarities to cannabis, as far as how they act within the body. The ECS regulates temperature, mood, appetite, sleep, reproductive systems, pain and pleasure signals, digestion, and a whole lot more. Responses by the ECS are measured and precise, designed to keep the body in a state of homeostasis, no matter what is occurring in the immediate environment. When the body’s ECS is not functioning properly, CBD can mimic the endocannabinoids, which can help perpetuate homeostasis and keep everything in good working order.
