The endocannabinoid system also known as ECS, is a messenger and receptor system, integral to homeostasis in our bodies (the process of maintaining a stable and balanced internal environment in our body). It was discovered by researchers approximately 30 years ago. From embryonic development, just about every function in the human body is somehow influenced or modulated by the ECS.

The ECS interacts with endocannabinoids found in cannabis, which is the reason cannabis can provide medicinal benefits for so many symptoms. You can think of it as a switchboard functioning in physiological processes throughout the body, directing, correcting and overall managing our health.
