What is Valencene?
Valencene gets its name from Valencia oranges, where it is found in abundance. In cannabis, it contributes a bright, sweet citrus aroma reminiscent of fresh orange peel. This sesquiterpene has gained attention for its anti-inflammatory properties and its effectiveness as a natural insect repellent. Research suggests Valencene may also have anti-allergenic effects, potentially reducing the symptoms of allergic reactions. Strains high in Valencene tend to produce uplifting, cheerful effects with a distinctly tropical flavor profile that appeals to users who enjoy citrus-forward experiences.
