Enhance your cannabis journey by exploring the world of terpenes. With over 20,000 varieties, terpenes are aromatic compounds present in the world around us and- you guessed it – cannabis! Terpenes shape each cannabis strain’s distinct aroma and taste. They bind to receptors in the brain and give rise to various effects. Beyond sensory pleasures, terpenes offer potential therapeutic benefits, from anti-inflammatory to anti-anxiety properties.
Explore the entourage effect, where terpenes, in harmony with cannabinoids, amplify therapeutic effects. While ongoing research explores their full potential, terpenes like linalool, myrcene, pinene, limonene, and caryophyllene stand out for their unique characteristics and potential health benefits.
Discover the 16 most common terpenes in cannabis strains, each contributing to the strain’s unique flavor profile. For instance, linalool, found in lavender, may offer calming effects, while myrcene, present in hops and mangoes, is noted for its relaxing properties. Pinene, from pine needles, could have anti-inflammatory effects. Limonene, abundant in citrus fruits, may enhance mood and reduce anxiety.
