What is exactly the endocannabinoid system 101?

I'm trying to understand how CBD works in the body. Can you explain the endocannabinoid system in simple terms and how it interacts with CBD?

About the author

The endocannabinoid system is the motherboard of our bodies, and its job is to promote homeostasis (optimal health balance) throughout the body. It’s connected with every other system through a network of receptors, which allows it to monitor and respond to imbalances by shifting towards a balanced state.
