CBD for Endometriosis

Did you know that CBD can help to treat the symptoms of endometriosis?

This condition of the female reproductive system involves the tissue that normally lines the uterus growing outside of it - usually on the ovaries, fallopian tubes or intestines.

This triggers inflammation in these areas and can cause severe pain in the lower abdomen, lower back, bowel area and pelvis, as well as during sexual intercourse or menstruation.

In CBD's effort to achieve homeostasis (balance) in the body, it can stimulate receptors within the endocannabinoid system that can mitigate the intensity of this inflammatory response.

An endocannabinoid called anandamide - known as the "bliss molecule" - also helps by regulating and reducing your body’s sensitivity to pain.

When anandamide binds to a receptor, it communicates with cells to stop sending out so many pain signals, which essentially helps to numb the discomfort.
