The human body has an endocannabinoid system (ECS) that receives and translates signals from cannabinoids. The ECS is a vital component in maintaining homeostasis- a stable, relatively constant internal environment and helps to regulate functions such as sleep, immune-system responses, and pain. Research studies suggest that CBD is a phytocannabinoid (phyto- meaning from plants) interacts with our body’s natural endocannabinoid system (endo meaning originating within the body). CBD influences cannabinoid receptors, while also enhancing your natural levels of endocannabinoids.
