The ECS is the single largest receptor system in the human body. It’s responsible for maintaining and regulating homeostasis. Someone with a fully functioning endocannabinoid system would be able to stay in complete homeostasis — perfectly healthy — with no pain or anxiety or sleep issues.

Endocannabinoids are perhaps the most important part of the multifaceted ECS. They’re tiny chemical compounds naturally produced by the human body. Anandamide (otherwise known as “the bliss molecule”) is the best-known endocannabinoid, though another one called 2-AG is actually more prevalent. These endocannabinoids are largely responsible for the natural ‘high’ someone feels after an intense workout or run.

As great as the endocannabinoid system is, its not bulletproof. Just like your stem cells, your body’s endocannabinoids can get depleted over time. This type of depletion invariably results in any number of problems with pain, anxiety, or sleep.

Some scientists think endocannabinoid deficiency is a modern-day epidemic. If you have any of its most common symptoms — which include pain and inflammation, autoimmune problems, and even the slow regeneration — a certain natural antidote is worth pursuing.  That antidote, of course, is CBD through either medical marijuana orCBD oils.

Regenerative medicine is an effective option for those who want to reduce pain and avoid surgery. Yet almost regardless of this option’s target — whether it’s PRP or stem cell therapy — regenerative medicine requires your body’s existing cells to promote regeneration and long-term healing.

In other words, regenerative medicine is only successful to the extent that it can rely on your body’s stem cells. If you want to do your best to ensure that, consider CBD. It provides a natural boost to the endocannabinoid system and may even help stem cells migrate to the areas where they’re most needed.
