How Cannabis Works in the Body: The Endocannabinoid System and Endocannabinoid Deficiency Syndrome The Endocannabinoid System (ECS)

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS)The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is an indispensable physiological system within the human anatomy, which was found when researchers examined how THC, the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, affects the body. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a crucial component in preserving homeostasis, which refers to the body’s ability to maintain internal equilibrium in the face of external perturbations, and is intricately involved in regulating a diverse array of physiological processes, encompassing but not limited to the perception of pain, modulation of mood, regulation of appetite, facilitation of restful sleep, enhancement of memory,and bolstering of immune function.The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is comprised of a complex interplay between endocannabinoids, receptors, and enzymes.
