How Does CBD Works with Your Endocannabinoid System?

CBD interacts with your endocannabinoid system in a variety of ways.

Most significantly, CBD is an agonist to the ECS and can mimic the effects of the body's naturally produced cannabinoids. In other words, it helps to promote homeostasis—that is, it helps to regulate your body systems so that they're working optimally. This benefit can be especially helpful for people who suffer from anxiety or insomnia. The calming effects of CBD may help you relax at night and fall asleep more easily, while also improving your quality of sleep overall.

CBD can also relieve pain and inflammation by interacting with receptors throughout your nervous system (including those in your brain), digestive tract (which causes nausea), immune system (which regulates autoimmunity), cardiovascular system (which promotes heart health) and more.  These interactions produce benefits: one study showed that CBD users had reduced risk factors for heart disease compared with non-users.  Another study found that CBD users were less likely than non-users to report depression or anxiety symptoms.  Additionally, another study suggested that CBD use could reduce autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis by upending how our bodies respond when faced with pathogens (the most common cause of autoimmune disease).

Endocannabinoid receptors interact with CBD compounds to influence bodily functions.

Now that we have a better idea how the endocannabinoid system works, let's look at how it interacts with CBD. The cannabinoids in full spectrum CBD interact with receptors in the brain and body to influence certain functions.

Many of these are related to pain relief and inflammation, but there are other processes that benefit from CBD as well.  Some are related to the digestive, cardiovascular and our auto-immune system.

The endocannabinoid system keeps the body in homeostasis.

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a natural network of receptors and cannabinoids that helps your body achieve homeostasis. In other words, it keeps your body in balance.

Every living thing has an ECS, which makes sense given how important maintaining balance is to life. The ECS works by influencing the function of many different systems in the body, such as your nervous system and immune system. It helps you maintain stable internal conditions so your cells can do their job efficiently without getting overloaded or worn out by external stressors like temperature changes or toxins in the environment around them—which means less inflammation!

Stress, injury, and poor diet can put stress on your endocannabinoid system and increase the amount of cannabinoids you need.

You may help your endocannabinoid system by adding CBD, reducing stress, staying active and eating well.

Stress can make you feel tired and foggy-headed, but it also affects the way our bodies operate at a genetic level—and that includes the ECS. When we're stressed out, our body releases more cortisol than usual. This is an evolutionary response to danger: high levels of this "fight or flight" hormone signal our genes to release stored energy from fat cells so that we have enough fuel for quick movement in an emergency situation. But when these high levels of cortisol are sustained over time (i.e., through ongoing stress), they cause damage on both short-term and long-term scales: cortisol breaks down bone density while also blocking endocannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 within brain cells themselves; when this happens regularly throughout life, it can result in a variety of health problems later on down the road like anxiety disorders and heart disease—not to mention potential memory loss as well!

If you're feeling overwhelmed with daily stresses right now then consider trying out some CBD products because they've been shown not only reduce anxiety, but also improve overall moods. 

The ECS naturally replenishes itself.

The ECS provides a feedback loop, which means that when it's working right, the endocannabinoids produced by your body in response to external factors (like stress) will be replaced. This can be helpful because you are constantly producing new endocannabinoids and breaking down old ones. So, if you're stressed out at work or feeling anxious about an upcoming presentation, your body will naturally replenish itself with new chemicals that calm your nerves.  You can support this process by adding CBD to your health and wellness routine.

CBD works to supplement the process of ECS replenishment.

CBD supplements the natural process of your body replenishing its own endocannabinoid system. By supplementing this process, CBD helps to keep your body in homeostasis. Homeostasis is the optimal state of being for the human body. In homeostasis, all systems are functioning at their best and there's no need for extra supplementation or support because everything is working as it should be.

CBD works alongside your body's ECS to replenish neurotransmitters that have been depleted due to physical or mental stressors on your system. This can happen when you're under a lot of stress or have had a long day; whether you're experiencing chronic pain from an injury or just taking part in sports activities such as marathon training!

Your body's natural cannabinoid system can be improved by adding CBD, allowing it to better keep your body balanced and healthy

• By helping your body reach homeostasis, CBD can help you feel calmer, more focused and less anxious.
• If you have a skin issue like acne or eczema, adding CBD to your daily routine may improve your skin's appearance.
• If you're having trouble sleeping at night, taking CBD before bed can help with this. It's also been shown to reduce stress levels that might interfere with getting quality shut-eye.
• Since CBD has anti-inflammatory properties and reduces pain signals sent from the brain to muscles and joints (among other things), it can be an effective treatment for anyone who experiences discomfort on a regular basis—whether from injury or illness.
