What Are Cannabis Terpenes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Terpenes are produced in the same glands that make CBD and other cannabinoids<\/a>. They’re stored in the sugary trichomes that develop on the flowers and leaves of the female cannabis plant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terpenes are responsible for the aroma of the herb. Some terpenes smell like citrus fruits or cinnamon; others like mint or lavender. They make up the largest portion of the cannabis plant’s essential oil<\/strong> \u2014 which contains terpenes, alcohols, sesquiterpenes, and other aromatic molecules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are hundreds of different terpenes in the cannabis plant, each with a unique impact on the body. Some inhibit inflammation, others alleviate pain or nausea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Benefits of Cannabis Terpenes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Each terpene in the cannabis plant has its own set of benefits. Some terpenes are sedative (such as myrcene or humulene), others more stimulating (such as terpinolene or limonene).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of these terpenes are also the active ingredient in other medicinal plant species. For example, pinene is a terpene found in both cannabis plants and pine trees. It’s involved with the powerful antibacterial and antifungal benefits of both plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
