Why CBD Helps -
The Science
- Scientists discovered endocannabinoids in the human body in the 1990s. Endocannabinoids are natural cannabis-like molecules.
- The endocannabinoid system helps to maintain bodily homeostasis, regulating our processes like pain, anxiety, stress, mood, sleep, metabolism, and immune function.
- Endocannabinoids are found in all vertebrates: mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish. So, of course that includes our pups!
- Endocannabinoid receptors are present all throughout the body: our skin, immune cells, bone, fat tissue, liver, pancreas, skeletal muscle, heart and blood vessels, kidney and gastrointestinal tract, brain and nerves.
- Researchers have found that the effects of certain plants mimicked our endocannabinoids. This includes the CBD (cannabidiol) which is extracted from hemp plants.
- This is why CBD is so effective as a pain and anxiety reliever for our pups.
