What Is The Endocannabinoid System?

The endocannabinoid system has been recently recognized as an important modulatory system in the function of the brain, endocrine, and immune tissues. It appears to play a very important regulatory role in the secretion of hormones related to reproductive functions and response to stress.

The ultimate goal of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) is homeostasis – the maintenance of a constant internal environment.

Endocannabinoids are neurotransmitters, chemical messengers that send instructions to cells. Endocannabinoids and their receptors are found throughout the body: in the brain, organs, connective tissues, glands, and immune cells. It is a system, with its complex actions in our immune system, nervous system, and all of the body’s organs, they are literally a bridge between the body and the mind.

Furthermore, it is involved in neuromodulation and immunomodulation in the immune system, helps regulate the central control of energy balance, plays a key role in the maintenance of bone mass, regulates metabolic processes (including storage), promotes/regulates sleep, regulates pain signaling as more important tasks.
