ABSTRACT

The Endocannabinoid System is heralded as a homeostatic super-modulatory system overseeing five main areas related to human health: relaxation, appetite, sleep, protection, and memory processes. A complex, cell-signalling endogenous system harnessed by phytocannabinoids, this ubiquitous physiologic system has potential to be one of the most important factors involved in maintaining human health through allosteric modulation and retrograde neurotransmission. Learn more about this system, the discoveries that elucidated its crucial role in health, and the newly penned clinical endocannabinoid deficiency that could potentially be the underlying commonality of numerous disease states.
