CBD and the Endocannabionid system
How Does CBD Work In Your Body And It's Benefits
The vast array of biological systems in our bodies get depleted from environmental stressors we experience everyday. Cannabidoil, or CBD is a compound found in hemp plants, which naturally heals and replenishes these systems. This process helps to bring the body back into balance, giving us a chance to feel our best, both mentally and physically. Utilizing CBD in treatment of mental health is the missing piece to the puzzle.
The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a receptor system found throughout the body and is involved in regulating many of our critical biological processes. These systems and processes have a direct effect on SLEEP, MEMORY, MOOD, METABOLISM, INFLAMMATION, and many other vital aspects of our health.
There are two different cannabinoid receptors in our bodies, CB 1 and CB 2 receptors. CB 1 receptors are primarily located in the central nervous system. This includes the brain, nerve cells, lungs, heart, spinal cord, and reproductive organs. CB 1 receptors play a role in the regulation of mood, pain, sleep, and motor skills. The CB 2 receptors are primarily found in the immune and lymphatic systems which regulate inflammation, digestion, heart, and stomach function.
Cannabinoids bind with the CB 1 and CB 2 receptors in the ECS throughout the body. CBD helps the ECS function optimally, which allows biological systems and processes in the body function properly. This helps the whole body find homeostasis and allows us to maintain overall good health and reduces severity of mental health symptoms such as anxiety.
