Article Summary:
The article discusses the role of mast cells in the immune system, particularly their involvement in allergic reactions and conditions like mast cell activation disorder (MCAD). Mast cells, which are found throughout the body, release histamine and other inflammatory substances in response to perceived threats. However, when these cells overreact or are too numerous, it can lead to various health issues. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) plays a crucial role in regulating mast cell activity, with compounds like anandamide acting as brakes on their activation. Recent research suggests that CBD may help manage mast cell activation by enhancing the effects of anandamide and promoting balance in the immune system. For individuals with MCAD, using CBD isolate—free from THC and other plant materials—may be the best option for support. The article also emphasizes starting with low doses of CBD to assess individual responses.
