That wafting fragrance of the rose garden? Terpenes. The aroma of a fresh-cut orange? Terpenes. In fact, terpenes are one of the most basic building blocks of nature, responsible for the powerful scents and essential oils that restore and refresh us.
The hemp plant produces a particularly diverse and abundant array of terpenes. Contrary to popular assumption, CBD or THC is not responsible for the pungent and complex scents associated with cannabis. Rather, that scent is produced by terpenes.
What Do Terpenes Do?
Terpenes are used by plants as a chemical communication mechanism, attracting pollinators and deterring pests and the growth of bacteria. These terpenes can also have a beneficial effect on human health, as discussed below.
