Myrcene is one of the most common cannabis terpenes. Beyond cannabis, myrcene is found in hops and is responsible for the peppery, spicy, balsam fragrance in beer. It’s also expressed in lemongrass, which has been used in traditional folk medicine for centuries.

D-Limonene, or simply Limonene, is not only the third most common terpene in cannabis, but the second most common terpene found in nature generally– providing the strong citrus aroma of lemons, oranges, grapefruits, and other fruits. Limonene is known for its aromatherapeutic benefits such as uplifting your mood.

This terpene has analgesic effects, meaning it can help to relieve pain. When taken orally, it has powerful anti-inflammatory properties that have been shown in a study to decrease allergic inflammation in the airways. Humulene may also produce mild sedative effects and may provide antibacterial properties.
