Endocannabinoid Theory

The Endocannabinoid Theory suggests that your body naturally produces chemicals called endocannabinoids, which help regulate various functions like mood, appetite, pain, sleep, and immune response. These endocannabinoids interact with specific receptors in your nervous system, maintaining balance, or homeostasis. This system is similar to how cannabis compounds, like THC and CBD, influence these processes, but in your body’s internal system, allowing for fine-tuned regulation without external substances. Essentially, your body’s endocannabinoid system is a natural, internal network that supports overall health and stability.
