How you could benefit from terpenes

Terpenes are a huge part of the natural world and give plants and fruit their instantly recognisable smells. If you’ve ever savoured the sweet aroma of orange or loved the relaxing scent of lavender, you’ve encountered terpenes at work. Beside layering nature with an abundance of smells, terpenes also have a range of extraordinary physical and mental benefits. Here are a few ways CBD terpenes can improve your overall wellbeing.

Aromatherapy

Humans have been using aromatherapy as a form of treatment for millennia. Many ancient cultures in China and India used natural botanicals to treat both psychological and physical problems. The terpenes abundant in smells such as fruits and plants have an uncanny ability to reduce stress, put your mind at ease and help you relax. If you use terpenes regularly, your emotional well-being will get a big boost.

A change of mood

There are hundreds of terpenes that exist within nature. With all that variety, there’s plenty of choice when it comes to picking your desired state of mind. Our CBD vaping range comes in a variety of different flavour profiles to help change your mood. Each of these products uses terpenes to do exactly what they say on the tin. Have you had a stressful day at work? Some of  our Lavendar Kush Vape Oil will help you to relax. Need a spark to finish that assignment? The citrus tang of Tangerine Dream is a perfect choice. 

Body balance

Many terpenes, especially myrcene, also contain a huge amount of health benefits that give your body some balance. Myrcene originally developed these properties to help plants defend themselves from diseases. Thankfully, humans can take advantage of these benefits too. The skin and lungs have been shown to benefit massively from terpenes.

Relax into sleep

We all need a decent night’s kip. If you’re not sleeping for 6-8 hours a night, your mental and physical health will inevitably suffer. Terpene-rich CBD products are a great way to soothe your mood and give a relaxed state to fall into a deep sleep. The terpene caryophyllene, with its spicy and peppery notes, is especially useful for getting your head down and can be found in our cherry pie profile.

With their aromatherapeutic and mood changing properties, terpenes are what makes CBD tick. If you’re interested in enhancing your CBD products even further, check out our terpene collection for a variety of herbal and fruity flavours.
