Miracles of Health full-spectrum hemp extract products offer a synergistic approach to bringing mind, body and spirit back into harmonious balance. The extract works by activating and supporting our own natural Endocannabinoid System (ECS).
Our extract is made from the highest quality, organically grown hemp. It contains significant levels of cannabidiol (CBD), as well as vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, terpenes, flavonoids, and cannabinoids — a full spectrum of therapeutic compounds. These natural substances react with receptors and cellular pathways throughout the human body.
Bear in mind, hemp contains more than 80 different cannabinoids. Our whole plant extract comes from varieties of Cannabis sativa that, unlike marijuana, do not cause a “high.” While rich in non-psychoactive CBD, the plants contain only trace levels of tetrahydrocannbinol (THC) — 0.3% or less.
Our bodies naturally produce endocannabinoids. These signaling chemicals play a vital role in memory, mood, hormone balance, movement, sleep, immune health, pain management, cognition, appetite and neuro-protection. In short, the endocannabinoid system regulates “homeostasis”—a healthy state of balance.
Scientists have also identified that endocannabinoids interact with a specific neurological network, similar to the way endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine do. Receptors are located throughout the body, but they are concentrated in the immune system and make up the largest concentration of receptors in the brain.
Small doses of cannabinoids from whole plant hemp support the ECS by signaling the body to build more receptors and make more endocannabinoids. CBD works as a switch. It also seems to inhibit the breakdown of our own naturally occurring endocannabinoids. By supplementing with high quality hemp extract, we help bring the body back into balance.
Endocannabinoid System Science
The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a unique chemical messaging system active throughout the brain and body that affects many important functions.
- The ECS produces endocannabinoids that play a role in regulating appetite, metabolism, stress response, learning, sleep, mood, pain, immune function, and more!
- The ECS has preventative and protective mechanisms for the nervous and immune systems, initiates pain control, and calms inflammation.
- The ECS was discovered in 1990, and its complex functions are still being researched.
Understanding the ECS is critical if we are to more effectively manage human health, especially chronic, debilitating diseases for which there are no orthodox cures. Some researchers suggest that when properly activated, the ECS may help suppress certain disease processes.
Evidence suggests that the ECS may even be involved in generating subtle-but-therapeutic shifts in the ways we perceive the world, relate to our internal landscape, think and feel about ourselves, and interact with each other. A healthy ECS increases our ability to be open to new perspectives and experiences.
Endocannabinoids are chemical compounds that our bodies make naturally to activate the receptors within the ECS. When the body is stressed, endocannabinoids go to work to fix the problem.
Cannabinoids are chemical compounds originating outside the body. There are more than 100 known cannabinoids, including cannabidiol (CBD), found in the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa).
CBD works as a switch to turn on the endocannabinoid system. Research has shown that small doses of cannabinoids from hemp can signal the body to make more endocannabinoids and build more cannabinoid receptors.
CBD is also thought to prevent the breakdown of endocannabinoids, which promotes homeostasis—equilibrium—by balancing metabolic functions, nutrient transportation, energy storage, and insulin sensitivity.
Understanding Endocannabinoid Deficiency
Through the stresses and strains of modern living, the endocannabinoid system can become depleted, impacting its role of bringing balance to the body.
American neurologist Dr. Ethan Russo has termed this “endocannabinoid deficiency,” suggesting that it lies at the root of many difficult-to-explain illnesses such as fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, irritable bowel syndrome, and even migraines.
According to Dr Russo, “If you don’t have enough endocannabinoids, you have pain where there shouldn’t be pain.”
