🧠 What Is the Endocannabinoid System?
The Endocannabinoid System is a cell-signaling network found throughout the human body. It was only discovered in the early 1990s, but scientists now consider it one of the most important systems involved in regulating homeostasis — the body’s internal balance.
The ECS plays a key role in maintaining equilibrium across nearly every major physiological function, including:
