I have typically been interested in odortherapy for relaxing, sleeping and getting rid of stress.
I recognize strongly that odortic compounds produced by plants and fruits offer health benefits.
The terpenes found in reds, pepper, hops, lavender and herbs can positively affect the mind and body. There is a wide selection of terpenes found in cannabis. These terpenes are produced by the same glands that secrete THC and CBD and are responsible for the particular odor. Strains can odor savor berries, pine, citrus, fuel and all sorts of scents. These terpenes are believed to work synergistically with cannabinoids to influence effects. The more than three most respected cannabis terpenes are myrcene, caryophyllene, limonene and terpinolene. While cannabinoids are the main problem when determining how a strain makes a consumer feel, terpenes also add to those effects. When choosing a cannabis strain, I don’t spend my money much attention to whether it’s a sativa, indica or hybrid. I focus on the strain’s chemical profile, which consists of cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. Cannabis strains can be separated into more than two broad chemical profiles or chemovars. Type I is high in THC percentage and low in CBD. Type II offers equal parts of THC and CBD. Type III is high in CBD and low in THC. I mainly shop for dried buds that I can roll into a joint or pack into a pipe. I properly savor a Type II because the even ratio of THC and CBD supply a mild high along with therapeutic properties. I savor the refreshing, lemon-like odor and flavor of limonene. I occasionally look for the pine-tree savor scents and taste of the pinene terpene.
