The Endocannabinoid System: Understanding the Keys to Body Balance
Our body has a remarkable ability to maintain its internal biological balance in the face of environmental changes: this is called homeostasis. At the heart of this constant regulation is a fascinating biological network: the endocannabinoid system (ECS). Discovered in the early 1990s by the scientific community, this system plays a key role in our daily sense of harmony and serenity.
What is the endocannabinoid system made of?
The endocannabinoid system is a cellular communication network present in all vertebrates. It revolves around three major elements:
- Endocannabinoids: Molecules naturally synthesized by our own body to meet its balancing needs.
- Cellular receptors: Distributed throughout the body, the main identified receptors are CB1 and CB2.
- Enzymes: They are responsible for breaking down endocannabinoids once their mission is accomplished.
What is the role of the ECS in daily life?
The endocannabinoid system acts as a discreet regulator. Its main objective is to help the body regain its calm and natural state of harmony when it experiences a period of intense stress. It thus contributes to the general relaxation of the body and the serenity of the mind.
How do CBD flowers and resins interact with the ECS?
The hemp plant produces botanical compounds called phytocannabinoids, including cannabidiol (CBD), as well as aromatic terpenes. Unlike THC, CBD does not cause any psychoactive effects or addiction.
When diffused or inhaled as pure vapor, CBD and terpenes gently interact with our endocannabinoid system to encourage letting go and a sense of tranquility.

To support your natural balance, discover our artisan CBD flowers as well as our selected CBD resins, and adopt appropriate methods:
- Controlled temperature vaporization: Use a dedicated plant vaporizer (between 160°C and 190°C) to benefit from the vapor of aromas and cannabinoids without any combustion.
Olfactory ritual and diffusion: Treat yourself to a moment of calm at the end of the day to appreciate the natural terpene profile of the plant during your breathing exercises. To go further, discover our explanations on hemp terpenes.
