What are Terpenes???

Terpenes are essential oils that come from plants. For millennia essential oils have been recognized as having medical effects. Our products all have terpenes added to them, which significantly enhance the effectiveness of the product.

Terpenes naturally occur in plants and are considered by many to be the plant’s essence. The most commonly known terpene is probably limonene, found in lemons. This gives the “citrus” smell to these types of fruits. Myrcene is also a very common terpene and is found in mangos. Linalool is found in lavender. Pinene is found in pine trees. Humulene is found in hops. Beta carophyllene is found in black pepper.

We are going to create a series exploring each of these terpenes, which will cover what people are saying about each terpene as well as the scientific research being done to that end. For your convenience we’ve created a chart showing the each of the six main terpenes and what they are known for.
