Linalool 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.
Why do so many different plants produce calming terpenes like linalool? Don’t worry; your herb garden isn’t stressed out. The potent aroma of terpenes like linalool deters predators and insect pests while attracting good pollinators like bees and butterflies.
Linalool also has antimicrobial properties that help protect plants from diseases, which translates to therapeutic uses for humans, such as antibiotics, traditional medicines, and sedatives. It turns out your brain links your sense of smell to memory and emotion, which is why aromatic terpenes like linalool can hold a significant influence over your mood and general psyche. Linalool also releases serotonin, the “happiness hormone,” which can help you feel calmer and sleep better.

Reported Linalool Benefits
Linalool, a natural sedative, has multiple reported health benefits, including:
- Rest and relaxation: Linalool increases adenosine, a sedating hormone that helps us fall asleep and is famous for its calming and relaxing effects.
- Anxiety and depression: Mice displayed lower levels of stress and depression-like behaviors when exposed to linalool.
- Stress relief: Studies show linalool activates the body’s parasympathetic response (also known as the “rest and digest” system), which regulates stress levels in the immune system.
- Pain: Linalool eases pain in several ways.
* It targets acetylcholine, the brain chemical responsible for muscle movement.
* It reduces the excitability of spinal cord cells that transmit pain signals to the brain.
* It increases the brain’s adenosine levels, which controls heart rate.
