Insomniacs find very restful nights when using products that contain Borneol. Other amazing properties include, its analgesic, antiseptic and bronchial prowess. If you suffer from asthma, yet still enjoy smoking pot, you will find this terpene a great choice.

Delta 3 Carene and Myrcene

Most of the organic compounds found in terpenes share traits. For example, nearly all of them share ant-inflammatory properties, as do both of these. Both are found abundantly in indica strains. You find Myrcene in just about every strain out there, indica or sativa. But the sedative affects of indica are mostly due to the myrcene terpene. The Delta 3 Carene goes a step further.

Limosene and Linalool

I like to call these guys the cancer twins. Both demonstrate remarkable healing and aid in cancer treatments. Limosene is citrusy in aroma and is great for weight loss. And like Borneol its used for treating bronchial infections. Linalool is more spicy and has the added ability to treat neural issues like twitching and spasms.

These terpenes usually linger in low concentrations on the leaves of most strains. However, the advent of hybrid science has changed that. As a result researchers are creating new cannabis strains constantly for specific medical applications. Each have exceptional medical properties and value.

Eucalyptol is popularly used in many bath and hygiene products like mouth wash, toothpaste, throat medications and cough syrups. It also great for skin creams and powders. And finally, terpineol is an agent that rids the body of toxic poisons, an all natural antioxidant.
