Features Floral Notes with Sedative Qualities
by Kassie Ferrero , contributing writer
Linalool is a terpene characterized by its floral notes , specifically lavender , and its sedative qualities . It is also a popular additive to food , perfume , soap , household products , and insecticides . Linalool is commonly used to assist with issues , including sleep relief , depression , and anxiety . Some studies have shown that linalool can block glutamate , a brain chemical that causes excitement , as well as help with Alzheimer ’ s disease and suppress acetylcholine , a brain chemical that signals muscle contraction and movement . Because of these therapeutic benefits , linalool is more commonly found in Indica-like strains and products associated with sleep . Here are a few products on the Missouri market that feature this relaxing Linalool terpene .
Gelato 41 Flower by Sinse Cannabis Gelato 41 , a phenotype of the famous Gelato strain and parent plant of Jealousy , is much different than its siblings . While Gelato is known for its sweet , berry grape profile , Gelato 41 features a more robust , earthy lavender scent palette .

With the array of effects at play , Gelato 41 can be used for multiple ailments such as relaxation , anxiety , pain relief , and sleep issues .
