By Rachel Garland

 

Chances are, you’ve heard about CBD.


People are claiming it is helping them with everything from anxiety to stress and even pain.


But you might be wondering:


Is CBD really all that it is hyped up to be and does it actually work?


Keep reading to learn more about what makes this plant based compound so amazing.


What is the Endocannabinoid System?

In order to understand how CBD works, you need to know a thing or two about the endocannabinoid system, or ECS.


The ECS is a biological system in all vertebrate species.


Research shows that this fascinating and vital system is designed to maintain homeostasis.


Or, in layman's terms, balance.


As a matter of fact:


The ECS is said to impact almost every major function in the body including but not limited to:


Mood

Appetite

Sleep

Memory

Pain

And so much more!


How is one system able to influence so many different processes?


Our endocannabinoid system is made up of receptors, enzymes, and endocannabinoids - AKA cannabinoids our body produces.


A regulatory system, our ECS seems to play an important role in keeping our bodies balanced.


By this point you might be wondering…


What does CBD have to do with the ECS?


Well, let’s just say, this is where things get really interesting.


Understanding CBD and Your Endocannabinoid System

Have you ever wondered why people are turning to CBD for so many different conditions?


It’s all thanks to our endocannabinoid system, or ECS.


Research indicates CBD may actually support our ECS, thereby helping to restore balance.


Hence why the therapeutic potential of Cannabidiol is so far reaching! 


Our bodies are designed for CBD!


When we nourish our system with this plant-based compound, we are helping to bring our bodies back into their natural state of homeostasis.


This is truly what makes CBD so unique from other plant-based substances.


While certainly no medical claims can be made, it’s clear 

Cannabidiol may have an incredible impact on our health.


How to Support Your ECS 

How can you support your ECS?
