Homeostasis

Homeostasis is a state of internal balance within the body that is maintained and stabilised by self-regulating biological processes.

The human body naturally identifies issues and triggers biological responses to rectify the issue and reinstate homeostasis to ensure survival. One of the systems responsible for this is the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is also the system that regulates cannabis when consumed. This means that when cannabinoids are consumed, they can interact with the ECS and influence homeostasis.
