How does CBD work in the body?
In the human body, there is a so-called endocannabinoid system. It is a complex cellular signalling system, and many of its actions and functions are still not fully understood. It is important to note the discovery by scientists that it is the primary system responsible for maintaining balance in many of our body's physiological and cognitive processes. It also plays an important role in the regulation of sleep, mood, memory, appetite, and in the immune response that is given by the body to various diseases and inflammation.
To keep the endocannabinoid system in balance, our body is only able to produce the necessary cannabinoids, the so-called endocannabinoids. However, when CBD is used as a phytocannabinoid, it can further help keep the endocannabinoid system in balance and even help restore it .
