Terpene Talk 2.o
Welcome back to another edition of Terpene Talk, brought to you by your trusted weed delivery service, Better Days Delivery. We're here to keep you elevated and educated because understanding the herb is key to breaking the stigma surrounding cannabis. For all the enthusiasts out there who love this plant as much as Angelica loved terrorizing Tommy and his friends, let's dive into the world of terpenes!
Did you know that cannabinoids and terpenes are two distinct entities in the world of cannabis? While cannabinoids like THC and CBD are well-known for their psychoactive and therapeutic effects, terpenes are the aromatic compounds responsible for the diverse scents and flavors of different cannabis strains.
Now you might remember from our first terpene blog post, we highlighted myrcene, limonene, pinene and linalool. This time we’ll be covering humulene, caryophyllene and eucalyptol. Go ahead and bookmark this page and our What’s the 411 on Terpenes? blog for a quick and easy reference guide.
Humulene
Humulene, a terpene with a distinctly spicy and herbal aroma, has garnered significant attention and utilization within the healthcare industry. Renowned for its potential therapeutic benefits, humulene is often integrated into various wellness products and treatments, contributing to its widespread use. Its properties are not only limited to healthcare applications but also extend to its prominence in the world of aromatherapy and natural remedies.
Caryophyllene
Caryophyllene is a unique compound with a peppery, spicy aroma that makes it easily recognizable. Its distinctive scent is not only a defining characteristic of certain cannabis strains but also a valuable asset in various other fields. One of the most intriguing aspects of caryophyllene is its ability to bind directly to CB2 receptors in the body’s endocannabinoid system, a trait typically associated with cannabinoids rather than terpenes. This interaction can lead to a range of potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, making caryophyllene a subject of interest in medical research.
Eucalyptol
This minty terpene, known for its refreshing and invigorating aroma, is packed with powerful antibacterial and antifungal properties. Its crisp, cool scent not only adds a pleasant fragrance to a variety of products but also contributes to its efficacy as a natural remedy. These properties make it a valuable component in the formulation of numerous health and wellness products, ranging from topical creams and ointments to cleaning agents and personal care items.
