The Endocannabinoid System
After decades of research into the Cannabis sativa plant, commonly known as dagga, ganja, Mary Jane, science has emerged with an understanding of how the active ingredients in Cannabis, THC and CBD, works with the brain. Knowledge long acknowledged in Eastern Medicine, as far back as 10,000 BC.
The discovery of the endocannabinoid system (EC), a unique communications system that controls functions between the brain, endocrine and the immune systems, plays an important role in biological and thought processes. The EC plays an important regulatory role in the secretion of hormones related to reproduction and stress.

Cannabinoids are a grouping of different natural chemicals produced by the body that act on the EC system. The active ingredients in Cannabis are called Cannabinoids.

In order to build the EC system it is important that supplements are taken internally, so as to strengthen the system from within. Whilst this will have a long-term benefit, many require short-term relief of symptoms. It is for this reason that we offer our balms and skin supplements for topical external use.
The difference between CBD & THC
Though CBD and THC are both found in marijuana and interact with the endocannabinoid system, there are some important differences a person should be aware of:
CBD
CBD is unlikely to get an individual high. Medical marijuana that is CBD dominant has minimal THC. As a result, a person will not feel high when taking the medication.
THC
THC produces the high people associate with using marijuana. Medical marijuana that contains THC will cause the person to experience a high when taking the medicine.
