👾 Cannabis Terpene Chart

 

🔥 Best terpenes to treat anxiety

There are several terpenes with anxiolytic properties, and this is one of the most common effects of cannabis in general. Among all of them, we consider limonene, caryophyllene and myrcene to be the most effective in this regard, and they are also the most present in modern marijuana varieties, so it is a good idea to choose OG Kush or Sour Diesel seeds to calm anxiety or punctual states of nerves.

🎯 Best terpenes for pain relief

In this case, both terpenes with analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties can work well, so there are quite a few that can help us relieve pain. To combat pain in localized areas with inflammation, arthritis, or chronic pain, the best terpene may be linalool, followed by caryophyllene. Myrcene, for its part, demonstrated in a study with mice in 1990 that it can inhibit certain types of pain. Some strains like Zkittlez or Skywalker OG can be perfect for pain relief.

🧐 Best terpenes to avoid nausea

It is suspected that caryophyllene may be good for treating nausea, but both limonene and myrcene have been shown to be very effective in this regard, and for this reason we think they may be the best option as an antiemetic and anti-nausea solution. If you are looking for marijuana seeds of varieties that can help you avoid vomiting or feeling sick, try Blue Dream or White Widow Strain, which in addition to improving health, their effect helps to see problems from a more positive point of view.

➕ Best terpenes to relax and sleep well

As with anxiety, a good part of today’s cannabis terpenes and varieties help to fall asleep, some due to their clearly sedative or narcotic properties, and others that cause such relaxation that they end up causing sleep. Of all of them we are left with Linalool and terpineol, but it is best that they come from a mainly indica variety to achieve the greatest entourage effect, such as LA Confidential Strain, Sensi Star, or White Widow among others.

🚀 Best terpenes to treat ADHD and improve concentration

To treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, varieties rich in terpenes can be used to help us concentrate. It seems that pinene is the most suitable terpene to improve focus and concentration, closely followed by terpineol, and although this is not entirely clear, it is possible that sativas perform better than indicas for this mission. If you want 2 perfect strains to improve attention for people with ADHD, try Critical Plus or Jack Herer

✨ Best terpenes to combat depression and increase happiness

Sadness can lead to depression, and depression can come from anxiety, so limonene, myrcene, or caryophyllene can work well, especially limonene. But if the depression is caused by stress, linalool can be more effective, which also relieves anxiety, so the best varieties to treat depression and enhance happiness can be Zkittlez, Lavender strain, or Do-si-dos, among others.

⛳ Best terpenes to relieve menstrual problems

Premenstrual pain and menstrual cramps can affect the quality of life of millions of women every month, but luckily medical cannabis can be very useful to prevent, alleviate, or directly eliminate this suffering. Until a few years ago it was thought that the most effective varieties in this field were those with very high THC, but since the appearance of genetics rich in CBD they have displaced the previous ones in the treatment of pain. It seems that regardless of cannabinoids, strains rich in caryophyllene and linalool are the best option for this type of pain, and among them Gorilla Glue and Girl Scout Cookies stand out for their effectiveness. If you don’t tolerate THC well, try Cannatonic or CBD Time for similar effects without noticing strong psychoactive effects

⭐ Best terpenes to treat neuralgic and neuropathic pain

Linalool reduces the excitability of cells in the spinal cord that transmit pain signals to the brain, and increases levels of adenosine in the brain (a central nervous system depressant), something that helps relieve nerve pain like no other terpene. For its part, caryophyllene activates the CB2 receptor, and it seems that it can also be good for calming neuropathic pain. At the moment we think that the best variety of commercial marijuana to eliminate pain related to the nerves or in the central nervous system may be the powerful Do-si-dos.

📲 Best Terpenes to Improve PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)

Several studies have shown that pinene, limonene and linalool can be effective in treating post-traumatic stress disorders, but as with relaxation and falling asleep, stress relief is another of the most common effects of cannabis Also post-traumatic stress. We believe that the best strains to combat PTSD should contain a combination of some of these terpenes added to a high content of THC, CBD or both, and within all of these, both Punch Strain and Blue Dream may be ideal.

🎬 Best terpenes to suppress appetite

Although whetting your appetite is another of the more normal effects of marijuana, there are some varieties that contain terpenes that have just the opposite effect, that is, they inhibit or suppress your appetite. Both limonene and humulene can be used in diets because they have this ability, and if combined with a THCV-rich chemotype the entourage effect will maximize appetite suppression and even gradual weight loss. THC-Victory or Dough Varin can be 2 special genetics for people who want to control their weight or avoid the munchies

☕ Terpenes to fight against cancer

It is a pity that there are so few studies on the matter, because some of them are very encouraging, since it has been shown that some cannabinoids can selectively induce cancer cells to commit suicide. Regarding terpenes, caryophyllene showed cytotoxic activity in lung cancer and ovarian cancer cell lines through the induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. From our point of view, strains with high levels of THC and caryophyllene may be the best to fight cancer progression, and among all of them Chemdog or Sour Diesel may be perfect.

📖 Terpenes to alleviate the effects of menopause

Many women experience hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain, or sleep disturbance when they reach a certain age and begin to feel the effects of menopause. In the USA and other countries, cannabis is being used more and more to better cope with these effects, and some women claim that it helps them lower their body temperature to relieve hot flashes and night sweats, regulates their sleep, or improves their mood. The problem is that it is difficult to find a single terpene or variety of cannabis that relieves all these symptoms, since they are very varied. The ideal would be to combine different chemotype profiles, for example, a caryophyllene-rich strain such as Sour Diesel to prevent hot flashes, a linalool-rich strain such as Zkittlez to regulate sleep, and a limonene-rich sativa such as Amnesia Lemon Strain to improve mood. mood and mood swings.
