What is the Endocannabinoid System / What is homeostasis?

Our body has a system, the Endocannabinoid System (ECS), which helps maintain homeostasis and also affects multiple functions of the human body and which produces various cannabinoids – called endocannabinoids, such as anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol.

The ECD contributes to the normal functioning of many mechanisms in our body, but chronic stress, malnutrition, trauma, infections, many health conditions, etc., affect the function of the ECD, thereby reducing the production of endocannabinoids (which our body normally produces on demand).

In this case, phytocannabinoids (contained in the cannabis plant) come to supplement that deficiency of endocannabinoids, bringing the ECS back into balance and thus, our homeostasis and our health.
