The endocannabinoid system (ECS), also referred to as the endogenous cannabinoid system,
is a complex physiologic network that stretches throughout the human body and helps establish and maintain overall health and wellness. Endocannabinoids work by interacting with their corresponding receptors, aptly named cannabinoid receptors. It appears that the most important of these internal receptors are called CB1 and CB2.CB1 receptors primarily influence activity in the brain and nervous system. Meanwhile, CB2 receptors mainly influence immune system activity and interactions with body tissues and organ systems. Endocannabinoids and their corresponding receptors exist across nearly every cell and tissue type in the human body. Therefore, they have a significant influence on many aspects of both the body and mind.
