Terpenes and CBD Oil Part 2
The 9 Most Common Terpenes and Their Effects
- Myrcene is the most common terpene produced in the Cannabis sativa L world and is also found in multiple other plant species. About 65% of all Cannabis sativa L terpenes are Myrcene.
It produces earthy or musky notes, similar to cloves. Myrcene helps to reduce inflammation and chronic pain. It possibly could be included in cancer treatment. - Limonene is the second-most abundant terpene in the Cannabis sativa L. world. Limonene has antifungal and antibacterial properties. It may offer several important health benefits, including immune system support, improved gallbladder function, relief from indigestion, and reduced anxiety and insomnia.
Limonene is a terpene derived from pinene. Much like pinene, its name suggests it smells like lemons. - Linalool may promote calming, relaxing effects. It is also known for its analgesic properties. Linalool has been used effectively as a sleep aid and is widely regarded for its stress-reducing effects. Studies also suggest that linalool boosts the immune system.
- Caryophyllene has a strong spicy aroma that is also peppery and woody. Caryophyllene is the only terpene that binds to CB2 receptors. It is commonly used in topical creams as an anti-inflammatory agent.
- Alpha-pinene and Beta-pinene have the aroma of Pine and other coniferous trees. I’ll bet that surprises you endlessly.
Pinene is an anti-inflammatory in general and helps to improve airflow in the lungs and respiratory system.
It is also used in medicine as an anti-inflammatory, expectorant, bronchodilator, and local antiseptic. - Humulene is most commonly associated with hops—the same compound responsible for the earthy, spicy aroma found in your favorite IPAs.
Humulene offers a wide range of potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antitumor properties. It also acts as a natural appetite suppressant. - Terpineol is a rare terpene that smells like lilac blossoms with a slight citrus twist. It also smells like flower blossoms, pine, and clove.
Terpineol flavor has been likened to mint and anise, with semi-sweet lime notes.
It has calming, relaxing, and mood-enhancing properties. It has also demonstrated antioxidant properties and antimalarial properties. - Valencene is an exotic terpene found in large amounts in the sweet Valencia oranges. It is a rare terpene with a citrus, herbal, and woody aroma.
Valencene may have anti-inflammatory, anti-allergy, skin protectant, and anti-cancer effects. It is thought to produce blissful and mood-boosting effects. - Terpinolene has a piney aroma with floral essences. Some studies have shown that this terpene has depressant effects in the central nervous system. Terpinolene induces drowsiness and may be used to reduce anxiety and stress.

CBD stands for Cannabidiol, one of many phytocannabinoids found in cannabis. Unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive. Additionally, independent research and consumer feedback demonstrate numerous benefits for human and pet health. In hemp, CBD Oil is found in a much higher concentration than any other cannabinoid.
CBD Oil works synergistically with your body’s Endocannabinoid System (ECS) to supplement the naturally occurring cannabinoids in your system.
When your body absorbs CBD Oil, it improves the endocannabinoid system’s ability to promote a balanced internal environment (Homeostasis).
Consuming CBD Oil products can help you maintain a regular level of CBD Oil in your system, promoting optimal wellness.
Terpenes are organic compounds responsible for the distinctive fragrances of plant products, from citrus fruits to pine trees to Hemp and Marijuana.
In Hemp, about twelve terpenes have been found at concentrations high enough to warrant research. Of those twelve terpenes, there are six or seven available in even moderate-sized concentrations.
CBD Oil and/or CBG Oil Wellness Products are a combination of phytocannabinoids and terpenes, or phytocannabinoids, terpenes, and herbal supplements formulated to ease a specific condition, issue, or symptom. Examples include:
- Gummies that are specifically formulated for a night of deep, restful sleep.
- Capsules that are specifically formulated for pain management or headaches.
- Tinctures that are specifically formulated for improving daily brain function and your energy level.
THC-free CBD Oil means exactly what it says. It’s CBD Oil without any THC. There are two types of THC-free CBD Oil. Broad-spectrum CBD Oil contains trace amounts of other phytocannabinoids except THC.
The strict interpretation of CBD Isolate is CBD Oil without any other phytocannabinoids, including THC. It also has no terpenes or any other organic compounds that might be found in Industrial Hemp, Pharmaceutical, or Food Grade Hemp
If a label says CBD Isolate or Broad-spectrum CBD but you have doubts, read the COA (Independent Lab Results). This document should be available on the vendor’s website.
The lab results will show the percentages of phytocannabinoids present (or not present) in the formulation. More specifically, Delta 8 or Delta 9 THC should be listed as “ND” (for none detected).
If you can’t find a COA for the product you’re looking at, consider another brand or vendor. groovyhempcompany.com has a COA for every CBD product we provide.
In Full-spectrum CBD (with THC), the Entourage Effect is a term used to describe how THC amplifies the therapeutic impact of a combination of a major cannabinoid (e.g., CBD or CBN), minor cannabinoids, Terpenes, and other organic compounds.
In THC-free CBD, the Entourage Effect is a term used to describe how a specific formulation amplifies the therapeutic impact of a combination of a major cannabinoid (e.g., CBD or CBN), minor cannabinoids, Terpenes, and other organic compounds.
The abbreviation for a Certificate of Analysis is COA (AKA Independent Lab Results). A COA can be conveniently found on the individual product page, in the tab marked Independent Lab Results.
