Linalool

Commonly found in many flowers and plants such as mint, cinnamon, and rosewood, linalool is a naturally occurring terpene that emits a floral scent similar to lavender with gentle hints of citrus. It’s this iconic lavender scent that makes it such a contender for stress relief among its other health benefits. As a cannabis terpene, linalool contributes significantly to cannabis’ physiological benefits and is often used in aromatherapy and essential oils for its calming effects.

LINALOOL TERPENE SYMPTOM RELIEF & HEALTH BENEFITS

• Anxiety & Anti-Depressant: Much as lavender is notable for its stress-relief qualities, research has found that linalool is especially effective in tapering levels of anxiety and symptoms of depression. The sedative properties in linalool that promote stress relief also act as a powerful sleep aid, which can help those suffering from insomnia get a good night’s rest. Linalool’s anxiolytic properties have been studied for their potential therapeutic benefits in managing stress and anxiety disorders.
• Anticonvulsant: In the same vein of anxiety and stress relief, linalool has great pain-relieving and muscle-relaxing effects. By reducing the intensity of the chemical that’s responsible for muscle contraction—acetylcholine— this monoterpene is able to reduce muscle spasms and convulsions. This analgesic action makes it a valuable addition to therapeutic products targeting chronic pain and muscle tension.
• Antiseptic: Linalool is widely used in cleaning products such as detergents and shampoos, not only because of its gentle scent but also because it has antimicrobial properties. Its antifungal and antimicrobial effects also make it a popular ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products. Linalool’s fragrance and aroma are prized in products ranging from perfume to household products, boasting both therapeutic value and a pleasant scent.
