CBD effects on the endocannabinoid system are very different from other classic phytocannabinoids like THC. In fact, unlike THC, CBD does not directly bind to receptors. Instead of stimulating your ECS (and potentially overstimulating it), CBD modifies CB1 receptors so that they are harder to stimulate and over-stimulate. CBD also helps boost your natural levels of endocannabinoids this is accomplished by inhibiting their reuptake and degradation. This binary activity of CBD on the endocannabinoid system, as well as countless other benefits on other systems (like serotonin and pain receptors) has a balancing effect for many people.
