Cannabis varieties with caryophyllene content (Against pain and inflammation)
- Medical cannabis, besides well-known cannabinoids like THC or CBD, also contains a wide range of different terpenes - aromatic and flavor compounds that provide various therapeutic properties in addition to their flower aroma
Treatment Using Aromatic Compounds - Terpenes
Beta-Caryophyllene is one of many terpenes found in mature cannabis flowers. Its distinctly recognizable flavor contributes to the typical pepper aroma. We can also find caryophyllene in hops, cloves, and rosemary. Molecularly, caryophyllene is classified among legal substances considered safe even when consuming larger quantities.
During the last decade, scientists have been increasingly paying attention to caryophyllene, with the greatest wave of interest emerging when they identified it as the first non-cannabinoid substance that directly activates endocannabinoid system receptors.
"Cannabis strains rich in caryophyllene terpene could potentially possess specific medicinal effects due to its influence on endocannabinoid receptors."
