Alpha Bisabolol Terpenes
Our isolated Cannabis Terpenes are completely raw and undiluted, they can be used individually in your product to harness each terpene’s unique effect or combined in different terpenes.
In nature terpenes do not occur in isolation. Individual plants produce a variety of types of these molecules that come together to form what is called a terpene profile. Research has revealed that terpenes possess significant wellness properties.
Terpenes/terpenoids have a wide range of biological and pharmacological activities, for instance, antifungal, antiviral, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antihyperglycemic, antiparasitic, antioxidant, and antimicrobial.
a-Bisabolol, also known as alpha-bisabolol, bisabolol, or levomenol, is most commonly found in chamomile and cannabis, and it’s known for its fresh floral or honey-like fragrance with notes of spice or citrus. A-bisabolol appears in dermatological and cosmetic products, including lotions, shampoos, soaps, and shaving creams, due to its pleasing scent and soothing qualities.
However, modern research shows that a-bisabolol has much more to offer than its sweet scent. a-Bisabolol’s therapeutic properties include anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibiotic, antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-anxiety, anti-depression, and analgesic.
Alpha-Bisabolol Research and Benefits
Besides being widely used in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, a-Bisabolol has several potential therapeutic properties, such as contributing to overall well-being, mood elevation, and deeper sleep. The various applications of a-bisabolol suggest that terpene has the potential to boost whole-body wellness.
Though much of the research conducted in the past was performed on mice, there are promising human studies to support claims of a-bisabolol potential. Some of the current research highlights its promise, such as:
Anti-Anxiety
- A 2017 study on mice revealed that bisabolol has the potential to act as an anxiolytic by interacting with GABA, a neurotransmitter that blocks impulses between nerve centers in the brain.
Antioxidant Properties
- According to a 2016 study, Bisabolol may have the ability to treat kidney injuries due to its powerful antioxidant properties. Researchers made this conclusion based on results showing that this terpene provides protective benefits for kidney conditions.
Analgesic
- A 2011 study suggested Bisabolol’s ability to reduce inflammation and pain, suggesting that Bisabolol has analgesic outcomes.
Anti-Inflammator
- A 2014 study found that a-bisabolol may reduce cytokines’ production – proteins that trigger the immune system – and inhibit skin inflammation without causing side effects.
Cancer
- A study published in 2011 showed Bisabolol might kill acute leukemia cells. An earlier study in 2010 found that bisabolol inhibits skin, ovarian, breast, and prostate cancer cell growth, showing promise as a potential therapy for cancer patients.
Antibacterial and Antifungal
- Other known properties of Bisabolol have been studied, showing fungicidal and antibacterial actions against Staphylococcus aureus and common fungal infections like Candida.
