Our body has a system that produces its own set of cannabinoids, called the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS contains a complex network of neurotransmitters and receptors that spread throughout the body, working to maintain balance within several organ systems.

When CBD and other cannabinoids enter your bloodstream, they influence your ECS to either produce more or less of certain cannabinoids, thereby either relieving stress or reducing the amount of pain and inflammation you feel.
In short, they communicate with your body’s endocannabinoid system to help your body maintain balance.
