The Endocannabinoid System maintains balance within the body, helping it stay in a normal state. For example, when inflammation becomes excessive, this system helps reduce it. It is present in all vertebrates, including mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians.
When cannabinoids bind to receptors located in various organs, the system regulates bodily functions, such as reducing inflammation, relieving pain, alleviating allergies, reducing anxiety, and minimizing stress.
