Homeostasis creates balance in the human body. For example, when you get hot, you sweat. When you sweat, that liquid evaporates on the skin. The body's temperature then lowers. Again, sweat is just one example of homeostasis. The endocannabinoid system plays a role in homeostasis, affecting a number of bodily processes like pain management. The receptors in the endocannabinoid system are modified by CBD so that they are harder to over-activate. CBD also boosts the amount of endocannabinoids in the body. It does this by slowing uptake and degradation of endocannabinoids. It also balances hormones and the central nervous system.
