Maintaining balance is the primary role of the ECS. The family of molecules most like the cannabinoids found in cannabis flowers are referred to as the endocannabinoid system.
We now have a really strong understanding of how much of our human experience in our bodies is integrated using the endocannabinoid system.

Interest in cannabis for health and wellness has grown exponentially over the years with more people wanting to understand how cannabis works in the body. Cannabis interacts with the body in a lot of dynamic ways.

Endocannabinoids are abundant throughout the nervous system, the brain, the spinal cord—think eating, anxiety, learning and memory, reproduction, metabolism, growth and development. The function of the peripheral nervous system is relaying information between your body and brain. This includes involuntary body functions such as breathing, blood flow, and heartbeat as well as sensory information and control of voluntary movement. These functions all contribute to homeostasis, which refers to stability of your internal environment.
