Endocannabinoid System (ECS)

CB1 and CB2 receptors

Are you curious why CBD oil works the way it does? Let us explain the basics.

We all have an endocannabinoid system, which consists of receptors located in our brain and central nervous system, among other areas. Hemp-derived phytocannabinoids —like CBD oil— interact with these receptors for various benefits.

The ECS is believed to support many biological processes that keep us in a balanced, neutral state.

​

Some people say it helps maintain homeostasis.

​

Our bodies naturally produce endocannabinoids on their own (i.e. anandamide) to support the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) when our body starts to fall out of balance. However, when we aren’t making enough, that’s when phytocannabinoids heroically swing into the picture. They very similar to the compounds our body naturally makes, so it’s effortless and natural to supplement with hemp-derived CBD oil.

​

Phytocannabinoids from hemp is a non-toxic way to support the ECS.
