Terpenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons that are mainly found in essential oils and are known for a wide range of therapeutic benefits.
Here are some of the most commonly found cannabis terpenes in Florida:
Limonene
This is known to be one of the most aromatic terpenes available. Limonene carries a very familiar citrusy fragrance that makes you feel like you’re smelling fresh oranges and lemons. The undertone of these terpenes is very fruity and often has a hint of mint and a few spicy flavors. This is why you can find this form of terpenes in the terpene profile of most citrus fruit rinds, peppermint, juniper, and rosemary.
Some of the most common therapeutic benefits of terpenes include stress relief, anxiety relief, and mood elevation. Besides, the limonene terpenes are also widely known to be antibacterial, antifungal, and antidepressants.
Pinene terpene
These are known to be some of the most well-researched terpenes in the world. If you’re looking for pinene terpenes, you can either get your hands on Alpha-pinene (α-pinene) or Beta-pinene (β-pinene).
The alpha strain is more commonly found in cannabis terpene profiles, whereas the beta variant is more common in plants. Since the pinene terpenes are more on the plant side, they are said to smell like trees—particularly, Christmas trees. The smell is very refreshing, herby, and earthy! You’re likely to find pinene terpenes in most natural plant life, including parsley, basil, and orange peels.
Pinene terpenes are a common ingredient of most antiseptic ointments. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, it may also assist those struggling with conditions like arthritis and fibromyalgia. Further benefits include stress relief, energy-boosting, and improved focus.
Linalool terpenes
This is one of the most commonly found variants that is naturally produced by hundreds of plants in the world. This type of terpene is often mixed with THC for maximum therapeutic benefits. Linalool terpenes carry a very floral fragrance, often like lavender and subtle hints of spice and citrus. This type of terpene profile is usually found in plants that also produce natural essential oils. Therapeutic benefits include stress relief, pain relief, muscle-relaxing, and immune support.
