Guide to Terpenes: Limonene and Terpinolene | Farmacy

Terpenes may not be as famous as cannabinoids like THC and CBD, but pure guide to terpenes will reveal that the more we learn about these natural oils found in cannabis and other natural ingredients, the more we’re discovering just how many amazing benefits they have. Terpenes not only give cannabis its distinct fragrances and flavors, but they can also provide incredible health benefits that our customers love.

This week in our ongoing guide to terpenes, we’re focusing on two common terpenes that are beloved by cannabis customers— even if they don’t exactly know them by name. Today’s post is all about limonene and terpinolene, two of the most common terpenes found in cannabis.

Guide to Terpenes: Benefits of Limonene

Created in the resin glands of cannabis plants, limonene has a fruity, citrusy, and refreshing fragrance. You can also find limonene in lemon rinds and orange rinds.

Limonene interacts with other terpenes and cannabinoids in what’s known as the ‘entourage effect.’ This is the name for the way that the properties of terpenes and cannabinoids change when they interact with each other.

Generally, these are some of the benefits of limonene that we’re starting to learn more about:

  • Boosted mood and increased positive feelings
  • Anxiety and stress relief
  • Antifungal and antibacterial effects
  • Improved absorption of other terpenes when consumed together
