Linalool Terpene Explained
Linalool has a floral scent reminiscent of spring flowers but with spicy overtones. It possesses sedative properties and is an effective anxiety and stress reliever. Studies show that inhaling Linalool reduces stress levels, thereby creating a healthier immune system that is better prepared to fight infection and disease. Linalool can improve sleep leading to increased energy the following morning and has also been used as an analgesic and anti-epileptic.
Studies suggest Linalool's anti-inflammatory properties are potentially useful for dampening an over reactive response to injury or sickness. It is abundant in many cannabis strains as well as plants like cinnamon, rosewood and birch trees. Linalool is commonly used as an anti-fungal and pesticide, making it an attractive ingredient in topical creams, flea baths and bug repellents.
