How does CBD work in the body?
CBD works
with the endocannabinoid system in the body. It’s a biological system composed
of fat based neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors. The CBD1 and
CBD2 receptors were the first receptors discovered and are two of the most
studied. CBD1 Receptors are located mainly throughout the brain and central
nervous system. CBD2 receptors are more concentrated throughout the peripheral
organs, immune cells and the gastrointestinal tract.
The
endocannabinoids produced in the body are chemical messengers. These messengers
tell your body’s receptors to promote healing or when to stop help maintain a
healthy balance. The body constantly seeks this balance called homeostasis.
CBD1 work with motor activity, appetite, motor coordination, immune cells,
short term memory and pain perception. CBD2 works with gut, kidneys, pancreas,
liver skeletal muscle, bone, eyes, skin, tumors, reproductive system, immune
system, respiratory tract and cardiovascular system.
