We interact with terpenes daily in the air we breathe, and they are not just something we smell. Terpenes can enter our bloodstream from the vessels in our noses and can be ingested into our bodies through food and beverages. In many cases, they interact with our bodies in ways that give us therapeutic benefits. Some terpenes can be irritating or cause allergic reactions, and some can be toxic when ingested in high concentrations. Every plant has different concentrations of terpenes that can have varying effects on the body. We inhale and consume terpenes every day, and we may benefit from them without even realizing it.

Research on the therapeutic benefits of terpenes is still ongoing, but the evidence from the studies that have been conducted shows a lot of promise. Some of the therapeutic benefits may be subtle, but over time, they can have substantial impacts on your health. Many terpenes have anti-inflammatory, ant-microbial, and anti-cancer properties. Some can have sedating effects and some have energizing effects on the body. Studies have found that some terpenes can help with anxiety and depression. Some terpenes have also been shown to help improve memory.

There are hundreds of terpenes found in nature, and there are around 20 that commonly appear in cannabis. Every strain of cannabis has a different combination of terpenes which gives each strain its unique aroma. All our flower gets tested for terpenes at a third-party lab so you will know what terpenes are in each strain. We list the terpenes for each strain on our menu and we have a terpene quick guide on the back of our strain guide.
