B-caryophyllene

With such high concentrations of beta-caryophyllene (β-caryophyllene) in spices and herbs such as black pepper, cinnamon, hops, and rosemary, it is no wonder that this terpene is identified by its strong, aromatic, and fragrance-rich profile. Caryophyllene is unique among terpenes since it can also be classified as a cannabinoid constituent due to its ability to activate and modulate CB2 receptors. This molecular interaction within the endocannabinoid system contributes to its therapeutic benefits. What this means for the medical world is that users can enjoy the benefits of β-caryophyllene without the psychoactive effects of THC in cannabis.

• Improve GI Health: β-caryophyllene possesses anti-inflammatory properties, which have been shown to assist in improving certain gastrointestinal conditions. Studies in rat and mouse models suggest its potential in modulating inflammatory pathways. These characteristics also benefit the liver by reducing inflammation and alleviating symptoms from scarring and fatty liver disease.
• Antispasmodic: Those who suffer from muscle spasms due to stress or from conditions such as seizures may find relief from caryophyllene’s muscle-relaxing properties. This sesquiterpene has demonstrated therapeutic potential in easing tension and spasms.
• Analgesic: Since β-caryophyllene affects the endocannabinoid CB2 cannabinoid receptor, it is especially effective as a pain-relieving agent with an analgesic effect. This pharmacological action makes it a promising natural alternative for pain management.
