endocannabinoids

Endocannabinoids are natural chemicals our body produces to help regulate various functions like mood, appetite, pain, and memory. They act as messengers, binding to specific receptors in the brain and nervous system to maintain balance, known as homeostasis. Think of them as the body's internal communication system that fine-tunes responses and keeps different processes running smoothly. Endocannabinoids are similar to compounds found in cannabis, but they are naturally made by the body to support overall well-being and adapt to changing circumstances.
