What are terpenes?

Aside from their amazing aromas, terpenes have amazing effects on our bodies and even our minds.

Terpenes are natural compounds found in plants that are responsible for flavor, color, and those amazing aromas we smell. They are stored within the trichomes of the cannabis plant (but let’s not forget that terps are found in both plants and animals, not just ganja).

You can think of terpenes like you think of essential oils; very concentrated amounts of compounds that are extracted from plants.

Like essential oil, terpenes have been known to provide a variety of health benefits. Check out the list of terpenes and their effects below!
