Understand your ECS asap!
Getting informed about your Endocannabinoid system and its role in the body is the best place to start when stepping into the world of medicinal cannabis. You need to know the body you are trying to heal before you can apply the appropriate remedy. Once you know why you want to use cannabis as a daily medicine, the next important steps are knowing what is in your bottle of plant medicine, how it interacts in your unique body and why you want to search out the most naturally grown and untampered plants for medicine you can get!
The Endocannabinoid system or ECS for short, is as vital a system as our more commonly known lymphatic, circulatory and endocrine systems, however it remains highly under rated by common science. The ECS’s role is to regulate and maintain homeostasis of all other systems in your body and is the key factor in immune function, repair and wellbeing. The ECS is naturally occurring in the body and consists of 1000’s of cannabinoid receptors in the skin, tissues and organs. The role of these receptors is to assist with and maintain homeostasis in the body as it interacts with the constant influx of disruptors to our internal harmony. By taking a Full Spectrum CBD product you light up the otherwise dormant receptors within the endocannabinoid system and with consistency and time of awakening, we experience an enhanced capacity in our body’s ability to self-regulate, balance, heal and recover from the everyday influences that we experience as individuals.
Other plants such as sunflower’s and echinacea also interact with our Endocannabinoid system however Cannabis, is the primary herb or the mother, when it comes to awakening and stimulation of the entire ECS. A fun fact, it’s not just us, but our dog’s, cat’s, horse’s, guinea pig’s, & whales that we share this great planet with, that have an ECS too!
