Understanding pain and inflammation.

A healthy nervous system supports a healthy pain and inflammation response.

Our guide to understanding pain & inflammation

Inflammation in itself is actually not a bad thing but an important biological response of body tissues to harmful pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants. It is a protective response involving many different cells. The problem we see is chronic inflammation which is when your body has lost the ability to regulate its inflammatory response and inflammation itself starts to cause chronic pain and long term damage.

It’s therefore important to support your body by providing the necessary building blocks for both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory compounds. You can do this through optimal nutrition as well as by adding exceptional quality raw, organic supplements to ensure you are getting everything you need.

The endocannabinoid system and the nervous system.

The Endocannabinoid System acts to maintain a healthy balance of the nervous system. The nervous system in turn supports a balanced pain and inflammation response.  In other words, through its action to balance the nervous system the Endocannabinoid system has been shown to help your body maintain healthy inflammatory processes. It is also linked with your brain-pain network and can help regulate and balance your perception of pain.

We have cannabinoids receptors all over the body and within the nervous system.  Thus it makes total sense to nourish these cannabinoid receptors. A great way to nourish the Endocannabinoid system is by adding CBD and other the cannabinoids found in our cold pressed whole hemp oil to your daily health regime.
