What are Terpenes exactly?

Well, terpenes actually exist in all different types of plants. They are molecules that are directly related to that strong, sometimes pungent scent. They’re usually discussed in relation to Hemp oils but are not synonyms. They are simply a reference more often in combination due to the high concentration of terpenes in these plant types.

This in turn produces that very strong aroma that comes from plant-based products. Another strong target group for terpenes are essential oils such as peppermint and lavender. They are oils that have extraction from their respective plants. These oils are so highly concentrated they also produce a strong smell that varies from plant to plant.

The most important item to remember is how vital a role these terpenes are. In fact, these smells in nature are there to try to attract pollinators to them. They can always work in the opposite direction and repel certain predators with their smell. They can even act as part of the immune system in plants to combat various infections.

Why are they even used?

This is a valid point as some of these smells are so strong, they might seem repulsive to some of us. While these are a natural recurring action done by these plants, they are quite popular in the wellness arena. These smells can help boost mood and feelings, depending on which direction you want to go. If you want to work on being calm and relaxed, you look towards getting terpenes from essential oils that have production from lavender or bergamot to name a few.

Each blend of terpenes in our oils are designed for a specific experience when used consistently and properly. They can help begin generating a calming effect, and the proper setting can possibly begin to ease your stress levels. If you look towards sharper or sweeter scents such as peppermint or citrus, you can possibly instill the opposite effect. This will produce an environment where you feel more awake and energetic. These can be supportive in whatever your goals are with your activities. If you build a regime for working out early in the morning, use some citrus oils before your workout. These can be beneficial in giving you a feeling of boosted energy, for example our ENERGY Hemp Oil

Keep in mind that these are best in use with a combination with some sort of wellness regime. Just putting a few drops of peppermint oil on your hands every day might be a nice smell, but it is important to also combine it with a certain type of lifestyle. These terpenes work really great for those that have the aim to lead a healthy and natural lifestyle.

Proper diet, combined with exercise is a good start. Expanding into yoga and its traditions will only continue to potentially enhance any effects. Finalizing it with consistent meditation and other alternative stress relief techniques rounds out the potential outcome of using such compounds.

What about Hemp-derived terpenes?

There are many beneficial uses from using the extracted oils from Hemp. Hemp in general is a fantastic plant that has a long history with a myriad of uses. Up until the 20th century it was one of the most popular crops to grow globally. This was due to its ability to make rope clothing and herbal extracts.

It has since made a comeback in the 21st century as the world is starting to remember how great it is. And just how many actually wonderful and sustainable uses that hemp has. It is also an amazing plant to do a multitude of different types of extractions. From isolated to full-spectrum, depending on what you are looking for. It is also one of the few plant extracts that, depending on its specific strain, can actually help produce different types of oils that offer the potential benefits. This means they are not isolated into one category. Whether it’s offering a calming sensation only such as lavender or a focused sensation only such as rosemary.
