Endocannabinoids

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS)

Endocannabinoids Are Responsible for Keeping Critical Biological Functions in Balance



Homeostasis & Balance

The human Endocannabinoid System is a network of receptors spread throughout the entire body that control some of our most vital life functions.

Biological Control

The Endocannabinoid System controls our immune system, memory, appetite, sleep pattern, mood, and pain sensation among other biological functions.

The ECS System Controls

The ECS Controls the Hypothalamus. Pituitary Gland, Pineal Gland, Parathyroid Glands, Thyroid Gland, Thymus, Pancreas, Adrenal Glands, and more.

The Endocannabinoid System

The ECS is controlled by chemicals that our body produces called endocannabinoids. Our endocannabinoids are responsible for keeping our most critical biological functions in balance such as sleep, appetite, the immune system, pain and more. When the body gets out of balance and moves into a state of stress, endocannabinoids go to work to fix the problem. The pharmaceutically active components in the cannabis plant mimic endocannabinoids and so can be effective in helping the body manage crises and restore itself after trauma when the body’s endocannabinoids are not able to restore balance alone.

You are probably wondering, “Why does cannabis benefit so many different illnesses?” The short answer is that the cannabis is highly effective in treating pain and inflammation. It does this by working with the endocannabinoid system, which controls pain and inflammation. Can you think of a disease that does not come with inflammation and pain?

The cannabis plant happens to be one of the most (if not the most) pharmacologically active plants on the planet, containing over 400 active chemicals. The unique active components of cannabis are called cannabinoids, which are found alongside active chemicals called terpenoids (we also refer to them as terpenes) and flavonoids. These chemical components work together to provide a wide variety of therapeutic benefits to the human body

Cannabis & It’s Healing Powers

Various levels and combinations of cannabinoids, terpenoids, and flavonoids provide many benefits to the human body.

These benefits include dilating blood vessels, stimulating bone growth, protecting damaged brain cells, killing certain kinds of cancer cells, preventing seizure, controlling muscle spasticity, killing viruses and bacteria to name a few.

It is the combination of varying levels of cannabinoids, terpenoids, and flavonoids that seem to make the most effective medicine for specific symptoms and diseases – the isolated components appear to be less effective but nonetheless still therapeutic.
