CBD works by interacting within our body’s Endocannabinoid System. This is a biological system composed of endocannabinoids, which are endogenous lipid-based retrograde neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors and cannabinoid receptor proteins expressed throughout our bodies vertebrate, central nervous system, brain, and peripheral nervous system.
This system remains under research, and experts believe that this system may be involved in regulating our physiological and cognitive processes, Appetite, Pain-Sensation, Inflammation, Muscle Control, Energy, Stress Response, Mood, Motivation and Reward, Metabolism, Focus, Thermoregulation, Sleep, Memory, and in mediating the effect of Cannabinoids. Cannabidiol (CBD), Cannabigerol (CBG), Cannabinol (CBN), Cannabichromene (CBC).
Two primary endocannabinoid receptors are CB1 and CB2. CB1 receptors are found predominantly in the brain and the nervous system, the peripheral organs, and tissues. They are the main molecular target of the endocannabinoid ligand (binding molecule) and anandamide. CB2 receptors are predominantly in the body. One other main endocannabinoid, 2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), is active in both cannabinoid receptors, along with its own mimetic Phytocannabinoid. CBD 2-AG is involved in the regulation of appetite, immune system functions, and pain management.
Layman terms = Experts believe the overall function of the Endocannabinoid System is to create Homeostasis (BALANCE throughout the brain & body), which is what Cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, CBN, CBC) are designed to support by nature.
Meanwhile, meditation is a reflective practice that involves reaching mindfulness and relaxation through deep breaths, focusing exercises, self-awareness, and creating balance in your life. Some people choose to meditate daily (or multiple times per day), whereas others may meditate when feeling stressed or overwhelmed.
CBD works by creating balance to the endocannabinoid system regulating our physiological and cognitive processes, and mindfulness meditation also creates balance, making them a perfect match.
