Botanical terpenes

Botanical terpenes are organic compounds found in plants that are responsible for their aroma and flavor. They are produced in the same glandular trichomes as cannabinoids and can be extracted from various plant species, including cannabis, pine, citrus, lavender, and many others. 

Botanical terpenes have been shown to have various medicinal properties, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and analgesic effects. They can also work synergistically with cannabinoids, such as CBD, to enhance their therapeutic effects. This phenomenon is known as the entourage effect. 

Botanical terpenes are commonly used in aromatherapy, as well as in the production of essential oils, perfumes, and flavorings. They are also increasingly being used in the production of CBD products, such as tinctures and topicals, to enhance the potential benefits and improve the overall experience of consuming CBD. Some potential benefits of botanical terpenes include:

1. Aromatherapy: The unique aromas of different terpenes can have a therapeutic effect on the mind and body, and they may be used in aromatherapy to help reduce stress, anxiety, and promote relaxation.
2. Anti-inflammatory: Some terpenes have anti-inflammatory properties, which may be beneficial for conditions such as arthritis and other inflammatory conditions.
3. Pain relief: Some terpenes have pain-relieving properties, which may be helpful for conditions such as muscle soreness, headaches, and other types of chronic pain.
4. Antibacterial: Some terpenes have been found to have antibacterial properties, which may be beneficial in preventing or treating infections.
5. Appetite stimulation: Some terpenes have appetite-stimulating properties, which may be helpful for conditions such as anorexia and cachexia.
