What are Cannabinoids?
It is already well known that cannabis is not only a wonderful stimulant, but also an effective medicine. What is less known is which substances from cannabis exactly ensure this and how they work.
Cannabinoids are chemical compounds (substances) in the resin of the cannabis plant. It is an extremely important component found in hemp. This component, which belongs to the so-called cannabinoids, contains a wide range of useful and highly effective properties and has a beneficial effect on both humans and animals.
CBD & THC are the best-known cannabinoids, but cannabinoids such as CBN, CBG, and THCV are also receiving increasing attention because of their medicinal effects.
Endocannabinoid system:
Cannabinoids work together in the human body and the effect depends on the entire scent of cannabinoids. The substances act on the body's own cannabinoid system, which is called the endocannabinoid system.
The endocannabinoid system is responsible for regulating the balance of the immune response and communication between the cells in our body.
As:
Appetite, metabolism, memory, sleep, digestion, hunger, mood, motor control, immunity, pleasure and reward, reproduction and fertility, pain and temperature regulation. Despite this system's integral role, it remained an unknown part of the human body. This system is named after the cannabis plant that made its discovery possible.
The endocannabinoid system plays an important role in your overall health and balance, but its real importance.

When deviations occur in the natural balance (homeostasis) of the body's functions, the endocannabinoid system is activated and responds appropriately by synthesizing endocannabinoids. These serve as neurotransmitters (information conductors). When the body produces neurotransmitters for the endocannabinoid system, they are picked up by specialized cannabinoid receptors on the cell surface. These receptors are found in different physiological areas.
The body's own (endo) but also plant (phyto) cannabinoids such as CBD interact with these receptors and pass on information about the change in conditions. In this way, a response can be stimulated, with the aim of maintaining body balance, or homeostasis, despite external influences.
