The human endocannabinoid system (ECS) is one of the major systems in the body. It plays a vital role in regulating physiological processes to achieve a state of internal harmony, also known as homeostasis.
Maintaining homeostasis is key to your overall health; however, it requires a delicate balance, and the ECS works to correct that balance when thrown off by something like an injury. The ECS influences a variety of processes, including mood, digestion, pain perception, sleep, and more.
