What is Terpineol?
Terpineol (alpha-terpineol) is a monoterpene alcohol with a pleasant floral aroma reminiscent of lilacs and lime blossoms. In cannabis, it is often found alongside Pinene, though its delicate scent can be masked by more dominant terpenes. Terpineol is widely used in the fragrance industry and has demonstrated significant relaxing and sedative properties in research. It also shows antibiotic and antioxidant activity. Terpineol may enhance THC absorption, potentially amplifying the relaxing effects of indica-dominant strains. Strains containing Terpineol often produce calm, pleasant effects ideal for evening use.
