EDUCATION

THE HUMAN ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM

The endocannabinoid system is a key part of the body's cellular management system that sends and receives signals throughout your entire body. The purpose of this system is to assist pain modulation, memory, inflammation and many other immune and neurological system responses. The endocannabinoid system is a fundamental requirement for your body’s overall wellbeing which, until recently, has been massively overlooked. Everyone has the right to know how important the role the endocannabinoid system plays in our everyday health.

There are multiple cannabinoid receptors located throughout the body, which are all fundamental parts of the endocannabinoid system; they continuously work together and are involved in a variety of your body's physiological processes.
