You don’t need a scientific background to understand the
basics of alternative medicine. Let’s make the science simple.

The Endocannabinoid System
Within your body lies a network of cannabinoid receptors that help maintain balance across various internal systems. This network, known as the endocannabinoid system (ECS), acts as a control centre for vital functions such as eating, sleeping, resting, digesting, and relaxing.
Your Body’s Receptors
According to scientists, the primary role of the endocannabinoid system is to maintain a state of homeostasis, keeping the body’s internal environment stable amidst external changes. When you’re tired, hungry, or stressed, sleep-deprived, it restores balance.

Homeostasis
The endocannabinoid system comprises naturally occurring endocannabinoids, enzymes that break them down and receptors that trigger specific responses. Alternative, natural medicines can enhance this system, with cannabinoids interacting with these receptors to boost the body’s regulatory mechanisms

The endocannabinoid system was identified in the 1990s when researchers studied cannabinoids, the active compounds in alternative medicine. While there’s still much to learn, numerous clinical trials in Australia are currently exploring its potential
At times, the endocannabinoid system may not function optimally. Alternative medicine can help restore this balance, activating the body’s natural defences.
The TGA in Australia has made certain unapproved medication available through the Special Access Scheme.
A doctor must first assess one’s eligibility, confirming that conventional treatments have either not worked or caused adverse side effects. One’s medical history will be considered, as not all medications are suitable for everyone.
To begin your journey with alternative medicine, get started below and book a consultation with a qualified doctor
There are various treatment options, each with different combinations of active cannabinoids tailored to achieve specific effects. Personalisation is key, as understanding the benefits and risks of these treatments is essential for effective therapy.
