(And here are some ways to address and mediate ECS regulation!)

Did you know that stress and isolation put pressure on the endocannabinoid system? I just recently wrote about how the migration of our social culture to digital platforms has adversely affected our well-being!

Both approaches have been found to help to regulate the ECS. NSAIDs also act on the ECS, as do nutraceuticals like echinacea and dark chocolate.

Here’s one article and a screenshot of an excerpt from the article:

As Western science is finally catching up to recognize how our physical and mental well-being is tied to the regulation of our endocannabinoid systems, it is important to also work to veer toward external systems that support our well-being.
