STORY AT-A-GLANCE֍ Cannabinoid receptors in the human body were discovered in the 1990s, which in turn led to the realization that we make compounds in our body — endogenous cannabinoids — that influence these receptors
֍ Endocannabinoid deficiency has been identified in people who have migraines, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory and neurological conditions and a variety of treatment-resistant conditions
֍ While CBD has gained the most attention, CBD alone cannot fully support your body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS).
You need the other phytocannabinoids and terpenes as well֍ Hemp has been outlawed in the U.S. since 1938. The latest Farm Bill, signed into law at the end of 2018,
makes it legal again;
hemp oil with full-spectrum phytocannabinoids may benefit a wide range of health problems֍ There’s an intimate relationship between your ECS and your omega-3 status.
Omega-3 fats make your cannabinoid receptors more active, and are used as backbone structures to produce cannabinoids in your bodyFull article with video: https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2019/02/10/endocannabinoid-system-role-in-human-health.aspxAgelbert NOTE: The CBDs (plus phytoCBS and terpenes) can now
