Health, Cannabis and the Cannabinoid System
Not long ago scientists discovered that our body has a system called the endo-cannabinoid system or ECS
Our ECS controls some of the most important physical, mental & emotional functions in our body & mind.
These are:
• Eat
• Sleep
• Relax
• Protect
• Forget
EAT influences our appetite, how we metabolise our food, insulin regulation and many other food-related metabolic funtions.
SLEEP influences our sleep/wake cycles and affects different stages of sleep
RELAX affects our nervous system’s ability to wind down and return to a calm baseline, and balance our calming brain chemicals.
This protects us from hyperarousal and anxiety and helps our nervous system to self-soothe so we can manage chronic stress
PROTECT regulates our immune system against outside invaders like infections from bacteria and viruses, and inside threats like cancer and autoimmune issues, and protects our brain against toxins and inflammation, helping to regulate healthy programmed cell death.
FORGET helps the brain and body to process traumatic events and fear memory to aid in trauma healing and stress recovery so we don’t get stuck in fight-or-flight mode.
This often goes wrong in PTSD, which is why medical cannabis can be so helpful in sufferers
Thats why the endocannabinoid system is one of the most important systems for maintaining health and wellness!.

Endocannabinoid system
The endocannabinoid system can be depleted in today’s world in many ways.
Trough chronic stress, poor diet, environmental toxins and airpolution which have a negative impact on our health.
Through all this, the body cannot maintain a proper homeostasis (inner balance) in the body.
When the body lacks homeostasis, diseases happen.
Cannabis produces compounds similar to the compounds in the endocannabinoid system called phytocannabinoids like THC, CBD and CBG.
By using external cannabinoids like THC, CBD and CBG we can rebalance our endocannabinoid system and strengthen the system that brings harmony to our body.
Combining Cannabinoids and the entourage effect
The entourage effect means that cannabinoids work best if they work together.
Different cannabinoids interact with the body in different ways, they stimulate different receptors in the brain and body and thereby produce different results.
Together THC and CBD make a powerful team against inflammation, mental and physical pain, sleep disorder, stress, anxiety and much more.
