Do You Know Why Lavender is Relaxing?

Brandon Lay | February 17, 2024

The genus of plant called Lavandula, or Lavender, has quite a few varieties, as many plants do, but they all have one very distinct and dominant trait – or terpene – in common: Linalool. Another less known terpinoid of Lavender is linalyl acetate. Both of these terpenes induce calming effects through inhalation or topically rubbing on our skin. And for some who know only too well, these terpenes may induce an allergic reaction.

Cannabis plants have many terpenes, all to a different degree of potency, which is why there are so many strains of cannabis out there. When linalool is among the dominant terpenes in a cannabis strain, expect its effects to be calming or relaxing. But each strain will have at least a handful of dominant terpenes. So, we now know the presence of linalool means a relaxing experience, but in addition to what? An uplifting terpene? A terpene that makes you feel creative? Or one that makes you sleepy? Or another that helps in the fight against certain bacteria? All or some are possible. And together they create what is called an entourage effect.

KEY WORDS/TERMS: Linalool, terpene, terpenoid, strain, entourage effect.
