What is the Endocannabinoid System?
Discovered 27 years ago, the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) resides in all animals, except the insect, and is important for the management of balance in the body. It influences all the other systems in the body.
So why has this system, with its obvious value to health and wellness, been kept secret? And how does cannabis play into it? It’s quite interesting and the explanation is one of the best TEDx talks ever produced.
Watch this video from Dr. Rachel Knox, TEDxPortland: “The endocannabinoid system and the revolution of one”.
