Limonene
Limonene is the second-most abundant terpene in cannabis, although it is
not found in all strains. It is known for its potent antifungal and antibacterial
properties and is often used in commercial cleaning products. It can
also be used for fungal infections or as a natural insecticide.
Limonene is easily absorbed by inhalation and assists in the
absorption of other terpenes through the skin and other body
tissues, such as the digestive tract.
Limonene can also be found in citrus fruit rinds, peppermint,
rosemary, juniper, and several pine needle oils. It is
commonly found in cannabis strains with a lemony, citrus
scent, such as Sour Diesel, Super Lemon Haze, Tangerine
Dream, Green Crack, Girl Scout Cookies, Jack Herer, Jack
the Ripper, and Pre-98 Bubba Kush.
Strains with limonene are great for elevating your mood,
tackling anxiety, and relieving stress. Limonene-rich strains
are also good for treating pain and inflammation, easing
nausea, and reducing the size of tumors. High concentrations
have even been shown to cause cell death in breast cancer cells.
Pinene
Pinene is the most abundant terpene in nature. There are two structural
isomers of pinene: α-pinene and β-pinene. α-pinene, as its name suggests,
is found in pine needle oil and is responsible for the fresh pine smell of
the forest, while β-pinene’s aroma is found in rosemary, dill, and parsley.
Pinene can also be found in basil, sage, citrus peels, and turpentine.
Cannabis strains with high pinene levels include Jack Herer, Snoop’s
Dream, Strawberry Cough, Blue Dream, 9lb Hammer, Dutch Treat,
Romulan, Critical Mass, Vanilla Kush, Cookie Cross, Lavender, and
Island Sweet Skunk. The pinene in these strains will leave you
feeling energetic, alert, and focused.
