CBD, Your body and Your ECS System
Did you know — research has discovered receptors throughout the human body for cannabis, receptors which are specifically designed to work with our Endocannabinoid System.
The ECS has special cells in places such as your lungs, eyes, and nervous system — including hi-level brain activity and focus.
Endocannabinoid System ECS
The Endocannabinoid System is a vast network of receptors that work together to keep the body functioning at its optimal, most comfortable state. One way CBD interacts with this receptor complex is: stress level reduction, better, longer sleep, and acting locally as a powerful anti-inflammation agent. Some patients even use topical CBD creams for fibromyalgia.
Cannabinoids are the natural chemical keys to the ECS that augment happiness and homoeostasis — a happy body that feels and moves good!
Imagine this networked matrix — head-to-toe sensors that communicate with each other through various hormonal messengers (like cortisol or adrenaline), regulating everything from blood sugar levels to muscle function.
This biological miracle is known as homeostasis — an internal possessed equilibrium despite environmental fluctuations.
Understanding Receptors
Unlike the brain’s other chemicals, cannabinoids are unique and go backwards along the synapse in the brain. Endocannabinoid molecules are a molecular match for CBD molecules via the CB1 and CB2 receptors. These receptors are found throughout the body and play an important part in fostering a balanced, healthy immune system.
Patients may experience undue stress, irritability, and sleeplessness along with pain. Different products, brands, and delivery systems may be needed for patients as you dial in their dose and monitor their responses.
The brain’s most plentiful receptor, CB1R, is getting attention as a buffer in the neurodegenerative field as the brain is where more CBD1 receptors are found than anywhere place in the body. There is relief found in this receptor’s ability to modulate signal transduction pathways and also majorly affect peripheral sites.
When we decompress from stress, to counterbalance the effects of say an adrenaline rush from a car accident, once the threat and shock are over, cannabinoids are what is pulled back into the brain’s chemistry to stabilize physiology and psychology.
CBD and PharmaCentrix’s full-spectrum products offers these compounds, specifically made into the industry’s most potent, consistent CBD product lineup — available to pharmacists only.
What Does the ECS Do?
Imagine if your body was a machine. You can think of it as an orchestra with many different instruments playing at once, each doing their part to make sure that everything runs smoothly and efficiently (including every cell in the human anatomy). Now imagine one person who is not playing their instrument, but rather watching.
Instead of melodies they experience dissonance, or dis-ease in the body. Homeostasis is the opposite of disease; reaching and maintaining biological equilibrium.
CBD can help support this intricate chemical process by giving your patient’s body the cannabinoids they’re missing.
