Myrcene most often produces very relaxing sedative effects, and is the primary compound responsible for the “couch-lock” effects famously associated with cannabis. It has an earthy and clove-like aroma.
In addition to powerful sedative effects that are useful for sleep disorders like insomnia, other medicinal benefits of Myrcene include muscle relaxation, gastric protection, and anti-inflammatory action.
Myrcene can also be found in mango, lemongrass, thyme, and hops.
Limonene typically produces mood-elevating effects, promoting stress-relief and a feeling of enhanced focus.
Medicinal benefits of Limonene include gastroprotective action such as reducing heartburn, ulcers, and gallstones, as well as anti-fungal properties and useful anti-depressant effects. Limonene is found most readily in fruit rinds, particularly citrus fruits and is also prevelant in herbs like rosemary and peppermint. The scent is strongly citrusy, sweet-tart, and fresh.
Linalool has long been valued for its relaxing and calming effects, and cannabis strains with high Linalool percentages typically produce relaxed body-high experiences.
Apart from its usefulness for relaxation and sleep, Linalool’s medicinal benefits include immune system support, anti-convulsion properties, and anti-microbial action. It can be found naturally in rosewood and sage. The aroma is floral and sweet with subtle hints of citrus.
Pinene usually produces lightly energizing effects with a sense of calm rather than anxious jitters. Pinene is also thought to enhanced alertness. It has even been reported to increase creativity for some.
Medicinal benefits of Pinene include improved airflow and bronchodilation (making it very useful for asthma and other respiratory conditions), anti-inflammatory action, and improved memory retention. The scent is very refreshing, earthy, and woodsy.
β-Caryophyllene can produce calming sedative effects and is valued for its anti-anxiety properties. β-Caryophyllene is the only known terpene that can directly activate the CB2 receptor of the Endo-Cannabinoid system, giving it powerful pharmacological effects - it has been reported to have anti-depressant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and gastrointestinal protection benefits. The sharp aroma is peppery, spicy, and woodsy.
Eucalyptol can contribute to energizing, uplifting effects in cannabis strains with high percentages of the terpene. Medicinal benefits of Eucalyptol include improved circulation, anti-bacterial/anti-fungal properties, and pain relief. Also known as Cineol or Cineole, Eucalyptol is a powerfully medicinal terpene found in many plants and herbs including ginger, bay laurel, and of course eucalyptus. The aroma is refreshing, minty, and slightly sweet.
Also known as α-Caryophyllene due to its near-identical structure to β-Caryophyllene, which may lead to potentially similar relaxing effects in many cases, though Humulene is not able to interact with the Endocannabinoid receptors like β-Caryophyllene. It is particularly valued as an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent, in addition to showing promise as a tumor-fighting medicine. A unique benefit of Humulene may be its effectiveness as an appetite suppressant.
Ocimene is often associated with uplifting, energizing cannabis effects. The terpene functions as part of the cannabis plant’s external defense system, which explains its powerful anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties. Ocimene’s other medicinal benefits include antioxidant action, cough suppression, and decongestion. Ocimene is a common terpene in fragrant herbs such as mint, parsley and basil. The scent is described as sweet, woodsy, and herbaceous.
