For those of you who thought CBD wasn't right for you

I couldn't sleep after taking CBD...?
The "voice of the body" and the real role of CBD that can be seen from each reaction

I tried CBD,
"I couldn't sleep."
"I feel like it's not working somehow."
I sometimes hear voices.

But if you change your perspective a little, there is actually an important "body reaction" hidden there.



For those of you who drink CBD at night and have "clear eyes"

I used CBD to sleep, but my mind became clearer??
This experience is actually not uncommon.

It is especially common in people who tend to have insomnia from a young age or who live a life that is not relaxed during the day.

This is not because CBD has "stimulated" you.
As a result of trying to adjust the excessive sympathetic nervous system and stress response system, the brain's wakefulness system temporarily responded.

CBD, especially with high bioactivity, can easily reach the body even in small amounts, so it may respond as "clarity" or "clarity of vision" rather than sleep.

Rather, it's a sign that CBD is starting to reach your ECS (endocannabinoid system).

Not all of a sudden, but from one drop in the morning or noon.
By starting from there, the rhythm of the autonomic nervous system is adjusted, leading to a natural night's sleep.



For those who drink at night and "didn't feel much"

In this case, it may be too early to conclude that it is not working.

If your ECS itself is slowing down due to years of stress or disrupted sleep rhythms, it may take some time for the effects of CBD to manifest as a "feeling".

This is
1) Decreased secretion of endogenous cannabinoids (anandamide and 2-AG)
2) Decreased sensitivity of CB1 receptors
It is thought that it has an effect.

The balance of the body does not return immediately.
CBD is not a "sedative" but a "regulator".
By incorporating it little by little into your daily routine, your ECS will gradually wake up.



For those who drink it during the day and feel "clearer vision" or "feel brighter"

This is just proof that CBD has reached the ECS.

When the body is freed from tension and the noise that was on the vision and emotions is easily removed,
"I can see brightness in front of me."
"I feel energized somehow."
It will be an experience.

This state is an ideal ECS state with sympathetic and parasympathetic balance.
By preparing it with CBD during the day, you can create a "foundation" for a night's sleep.



For those who drink it at noon but don't really understand.

In this case, you might be doing the following:
1) The amount of CBD is too low (it does not reach the "threshold" for reaction).
2) The sensory antenna is dull and you don't notice the change
3) Or CBD adjustment is progressing "behind the surface" and has not yet appeared on the surface

Just because you don't feel it doesn't mean it's not working.
When the ECS is starting to get in order, the body is quietly starting to change.

One day, I often suddenly realize, "Come to think of it, I'm less frustrated than before" or "I may be less tired."



Conclusion: CBD does not "work", but "prepares"

If you look too much for CBD for immediate results, it tends to be a black-and-white evaluation of "it works or doesn't work".

But CBD originally has the power to "return" and "adjust".
It's not just about sleeping,
It is involved in the balance of the entire body, such as clarity, mood stability, and autonomic nervous system switching.

Why
It is important to look at "how your body reacted" rather than "I couldn't sleep".

Your ECS may be responding quietly but surely.
And it's in that reaction that CBD really has value.


The body is made up of water and intestines.

The body that does not smell is made of "water" and "intestines"

Sweat, body odor, bad breath, and even skin moisture. Everything was connected by water and intestines.

Introduction: The Concerns of Modern People and the Importance of Water

I am worried about the smell of sweat.
I'm embarrassed by the number of farts and the smell.
Recently, I was shocked to be pointed out bad breath and body odor......

But in fact, it may not be "sweat" or "body odor", but "intestinal condition and lack of water".

Many modern people live with mild dehydration and lack of exercise.
The combination of these two weakens the function of the sweat glands and causes odorous substances to accumulate in the body.



Effects of dehydration


1) Lack of water can dry out the intestines, making it easier to constipate and gas.
2) The body's detoxification function is reduced, and the odorous components contained in stool and urine ooze out of the skin and exhaled air.
3) The sweat component becomes thicker, less likely to evaporate, and becomes sticky and smelly.

The first thing you need to do is to be aware of water intake × 30 mL of your body weight.

Weakening of sweat glands creates "smelly sweat"

1) In a life of lack of exercise, eccrine glands (sweat glands for regulating body temperature) are not used, and sweat gland function decreases.
2) Mineral reabsorption does not work well, resulting in sticky and odorous sweat.
3) In the case of women, sweat can cause makeup to fall apart and waviness in the hair.

But if you drink water and get into the habit of sweating lightly,
Sweat is smooth and easy to evaporate, turning into "good sweat" that doesn't smell.

Furthermore, the sweat
"Natural toner that moisturizes the skin"It will be.

Body odor, bad breath, farts, and stool odor...... It's all about the "gut"

When bad bacteria dominate in our intestines, harmful gases and odorous substances such as "indole," "scatol," "ammonia," and "hydrogen sulfide" are produced by the decomposition of food.

These substances are absorbed not only from the stool and farts, but also from the intestinal wall, into the blood, and circulate throughout the body, causing the following negative effects:
Indore Scator
→ Originally the cause of strong odor in the stool, when absorbed by the body, it can put a strain on the liver and be released from the skin as body odor.
→ It is believed to cause chronic inflammation and weaken the immune system in the long run.
ammonia
→ Caused by protein spoilage, when it enters the blood, it is detoxified by the liver, but too much of it exceeds the liver's ability to detoxify, causing fatigue and difficulty concentrating.
→ It also causes a peculiar body odor when it comes out of the skin.
hydrogen sulphide
→ Eggs have a strong smell like rotten eggs, which can damage the intestinal mucosa and interfere with intestinal motility and cause constipation.
→ If it enters the bloodstream, there is also a concern about damage to the brain and blood vessels.

In some cases, what you thought was "body odor" or "bad breath" was actually "stool odor".

What is reduced water?



1)Reduced water (electrolytic reduced water) is a slightly alkaline functional water with a low redox potential (ORP) obtained by electrolysis of tap water.
2)In Japan, it is produced in a water purifier approved by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare as a medical device and has been recognized for its effectiveness in improving gastrointestinal symptoms.
3)Similar reduced water (mineral-containing spring water and mineral springs) exists in nature, and it is said that there are many people who live a long and healthy life in areas where they drink such water on a daily basis.

Reduced water and its effects on intestinal environment and health

Research in Japan: Professor Yuji Naito, Professor Emeritus (Former President) Toshiichi Yoshikawa, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine

The protective effect of reduced water on the gastric mucosa and the positive effect on the intestinal environment were reported.
It also suggests anti-inflammatory effects on active oxygen suppression.

Overseas Research:

Reduced water contributes to oxidative stress and fatigue recovery after exercise (Processes, 2022）
Decrease in blood viscosity by electrolyzed water (JISSN magazine), 2016）
Improvement of metabolic acidosis and improvement of anaerobic exercise capacity (Biology of Sport), 2018）

The relationship between sports and reduced water



1)Inhibits exercise-related oxidative stress and lactic acid build-up and promotes recovery
2)Reduced water alleviates the increase in blood viscosity caused by dehydration and reduces the burden on the circulatory system
3)Acid-base balance to support improved performance during anaerobic exercise
4)In particular, when it comes to reducing fatigue and restoring muscle tension, many people who drink reduced water after exercise say it is at the physical level

To a lifestyle that does not make sweat an "enemy"

1)Sweating is not a "cause" of body odor or makeup loss, but a "sign"
2)By activating the sweat glands, improving the intestinal environment, and drinking high-quality water,
Sweat turns into an "ally" that does not smell, moisturizes, and detoxifies.

Summary: You can't be fooled by scent. Creating a "body that doesn't smell" from the root

1)Rather than deceiving with deodorant or perfume, reviewing the intestines, sweat glands, and water is essential care.
2)Body odor, stool odor, farts, bad breath, and dry skin ...... all related to "intestines and water".
3)"Changing water". It is the first step to "change your body".

Cannabinoid deficiency

When disparate disorders are connected by a single line

― Fibromyalgia, migraine, IBS and the perspective of "cannabinoid deficiency" ―


This blog is based on what we talked about in the Amazing Power of the Endocannabinoid System Series Episode 6 Deep Dive "Self-Care and ECS".
This is a supplementary article that delves further with my own changes and observations in my body.
Whether you have watched the video or not, please read it as a hint to face your body






? Watch the video: "The moment when fibromyalgia, migraine, and IBS connect as one"




Hello.
If you have reached this page, you may be:
**You may be suffering from fibromyalgia, migraines, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)**, or more.

Even when I went to the hospital, I was told that there was nothing abnormal or that it might be due to stress.
But there are certainly symptoms.
Pain, nausea, abdominal pain, anxiety, fatigue, inability to sleep...
The disparate discomfort may actually lead to a common cause.

The moment I realized this,
My experience as a doctor and my own experience finally became a "single line".
On this page, we will tell you about this new perspective, "cannabinoid deficiency," and the "endogenous cannabinoid system (ECS)" that supports it in an easy-to-understand manner.

What is cannabinoid deficiency?

Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency (CECD) = Cannabinoid Deficiency
This concept was coined by the American neurologist Dr.. It was proposed by Ethan Russo.

According to his theory, when the function of the "endocannabinoid system (ECS)" in our body decreases,
It is believed that various disorders such as pain, inflammation, indigestion, anxiety, insomnia, and immune disorders can occur.

In particular, the following three diseases are thought to be closely related to ECS dysfunction.
*Fibromyalgia
*migraine
*Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

In other words, these things, which were thought to be "separate diseases", are actually the same roots. That's the way of thinking.

What is the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)?


The ECS is the "balance system" that our body is inherently inherent.
It works all over the body to maintain homeostasis.
* Cranial nervous system: emotions, memory, pain perception
* Immune system: control of inflammatory response
*Gastrointestinal tract: intestinal movement and inflammatory reactions in the intestines
*Autonomic nervous system: Balance of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems

If this ECS is working properly, even if there is some stress, pain and anxiety will be supported by the "ability to recover on its own".
However, if the ECS does not work well due to chronic stress or disturbances in the living environment,
Your body begins to show signs of discomfort.


Reasons for overlapping symptoms ~It may be a disturbance in the ECS~

■ Fibromyalgia
The main symptoms include chronic pain throughout the body, fatigue, and sleep disturbances.
In addition to nerve hypersensitivity, called central sensitization, it is thought that a decrease in the function of the ECS (endocannabinoid system) is involved.



■ Migraine
In addition to throbbing headaches, it is characterized by nausea and sensitivity to light and sound.
Here, the interaction between the serotonin system and the ECS is important, and disturbances in the coordination of the ECS may be involved in the development of migraine.



■ Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain and repeated diarrhea and constipation are observed.
In addition to abnormal ECS in the intestinal tract, the imbalance with intestinal bacteria is also thought to be behind this symptom.


All of them seem to be disjointed at first glance,
In fact, it has been found that "the brain, gut, immunity, and emotions are connected."
At the heart of this is a coordination system called ECS.

How does CBD support the ECS?

CBD (cannabidiol) is a natural cannabinoid found in plants,
It is a supporting ingredient that indirectly regulates the function of the ECS.
1.Inhibits the breakdown of endogenous cannabinoids (anandamide)
2.relieves inflammation and pain signals
3.Suppresses nervous excitement caused by anxiety and stress
4.Supports the balance of the autonomic nervous system

Some people feel that incorporating CBD has reduced their pain, allowed them to sleep, and stabilized their mood.
This may not be just a symptomatic treatment, but an opportunity to regain your original balance.

But sometimes CBD alone isn't enough

In fact, you may not see immediate improvement with CBD.
The reasons for this can vary, but the following may be at play.
*Severe ECS dysfunction and long recovery
*Inadequate CBD intake or quality (e.g., fat-soluble or water-soluble)*?Lack of sleep and excessive stress keep up with ECS recovery
* Other factors such as nutrition, gut health, and exercise habits remain unadjusted

That's why it's so important to take a look at your entire life while incorporating CBD.

5 self-care to regulate the ECS

1.Consume omega-3 fatty acids (blue fish, sesame oil, etc.)
2.Keep doing light exercise (walking, stretching, yoga, etc.)
3.Sleep well (review your sleep environment, refrain from using your smartphone before bed, etc.)
4.Letting go of stress (deep breathing, meditation, spending time in nature)
5.Improve the intestinal environment (be aware of fermented foods and dietary fiber)

Because ECS is a network that spreads throughout the body,
Small daily choices and habits have a big impact on your future physical condition.

◆ Postscript: As my own feeling

Actually, I myself have migraines.
And I have been suffering from strong tension and stiffness from my back to my shoulders for many years, as if the same mechanism as fibromyalgia is suspected.

Even if you think you have medical knowledge,
Before I took CBD, I myself may have been a classic example of an imbalance in my ECS.

And when I encountered CBD,
Little by little, I began to listen to my body's voice,
Right now, I'm in the process of reviewing not only CBD, but also my lifestyle itself.
* Moderate exercise
*Ideas for sleeping well
* Balanced diet
*How to let go of stress

All of them are "I knew but couldn't do it".
However, by incorporating them little by little, I feel that my body is definitely changing.

Poor health is not "my fault".
However, the ability to adjust is "within me".
I am now experiencing this firsthand.

It's not "CBD = cannabis". That's why I want you to know "the amazing mechanism in the body"

It's not "CBD = cannabis". That's why I want you to know "the amazing mechanism in the body"



~Background of the production of the video series "CBD Chosen by Science" and "The Amazing Power of the Endocannabinoid System"~

"CBD is cannabis, isn't it?"
Even now, I often hear such voices.

CBD (cannabidiol) is indeed one of the components originally found in the cannabis plant.
However, it would be too wasteful to cut out only that and conclude that it is "dangerous" or "suspicious".

In fact, to understand the true meaning of CBD, we need to pay attention to "inside our bodies".
The key to this is a mechanism called the endogenous cannabinoid system (ECS).

Why did we create this series?

As a doctor, I have dealt with many patients over the years.
Among them, I have seen many people who continue to feel unwell even though there are no abnormalities in the tests, or who do not get better even after taking medicine.

And one day, I came across the latest research on CBD and ECS.
**I strongly felt that this may be the root cause that is overlooked in modern medicine.

However, in Japan, the word CBD is associated with "cannabis".
The concept of ECS is little known.
On the contrary, the current situation is that even within the industry, only trends and commerciality are ahead of the essence.

If this continues, many people will not be able to reach the "knowledge they really need".
So IA series of videos that convey the essence of the truth based on scientific evidence in an easy-to-understand mannerI decided to make it.



2Two Pillars Video Series

Currently, we have two series on YouTube.

◆ CBD series selected by science

With themes such as CBD quality, extraction methods, bioactivity, and bioavailability, the book clarifies "what is real" from a scientific perspective.
We are delving into the differences in content that cannot be described by simple words such as "organic" or "full spectrum".

◆ Amazing Power Series of Endocannabinoid Systems


What is ECS? Why is it involved in the ill conditions of modern people?
The relationship between diet, sleep, exercise, stress, intestinal environment, etc.
It is carefully explained in three formats: "Quick Understanding", "Deep Digging", and "Short Video".

Blog as a gateway to the essence

If you are reading this blog, there is something I want you to know first.
That is, the ECS is never irrelevant to your health.
??I'm not feeling well
??Menopausal discomfort is painful
??I can't sleep well
??I can't get rid of the pain
??Easily irritable

These may be related to ECS disturbances.

One tip to help you get it in place is CBD.
But not all CBD is the same.
That's why "what you choose" is so important.

"Whether it's your first time or you've already seen it."

This blog is a "gateway" for those who want to watch videos from now on.
And for those who have already seen it, it is a "map that connects the whole picture".
