Terpinolene is a lesser-known terpene found in cannabis, and it stands out from other terpenes found in cannabis because, unlike most terpenoids, terpinolene offers neither pain relief nor anti-inflammatory benefits. That being said, terpinolene has been shown to have several great properties of its own. When used in tandem with other terpenes found in cannabis, including linalool and limonene, it can offer a holistic approach to healing.

Its flavor and aroma present a balance of woody, piney tones with citrusy hints. Common plants that contain this monoterpene include cannabis, conifers, rosemary, lilacs, and sage. It can also be found in tea tree, cumin, and other herbs.

TERPINOLENE TERPENE SYMPTOM RELIEF & HEALTH BENEFITS

Anxiety & Insomnia Relief: For those suffering from high levels of anxiety or insomnia, terpinolene may provide relief. Studies have shown this terpene to function as a central nervous system depressant with sedative properties, which can cause drowsiness and bring forth sleep. It can also calm the body down to relieve tenseness and stress associated with anxiety. When combined with THC and CBD, the terpinolene’s effects are enhanced.
Antibacterial: Terpinolene has been found to exhibit antibacterial and antimicrobial activity by slowing the growth of bacteria and fungi.
Anticancer: Recent research has revealed the therapeutic benefits and anti-proliferation properties of terpinolene. It has the ability to downregulate cell proteins, which can reduce the spread of cancer cells in the body, including the generation of cancerous neuroblastoma cells. Terpinolene can help reduce oxidation, inflammation, and oxidative damage at the cellular level.
