Ever wonder how cannabanoids enter and work inside our body? Today we’ll be going over one of the most important questions for understanding a vital part of our body—the endocannabinoid system.

Our brain is made up of neurons and neural circuits. Neurotransmitters called endocannabinoids travel from one neuron to another and attach onto receptors to send signals throughout our body. This signaling network, called our endocannabinoid system, helps us maintain balance and a mind-body connection.

Some scientists believe that many human ailments and diseases – including pain, inflammation, multiple sclerosis, neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, Tourette’s and Alzheimer’s as well as epilepsy, glaucoma, osteoporosis and cancer – stem from an imbalance or weakness in the ECS.

Therefore, phytocannabinoids, also known as plant cannabinoids (i.e. THC, CBD), can successfully treat these conditions. When they enter our body, they are able to easily connect with our ECS to provide the various effects we are familiar experiencing.
