What is Linalool?
Linalool is a terpene known for its distinctive floral, lavender, and slightly spicy aroma. While it is rare for linalool to be the dominant terpene in cannabis strains, it often appears among the top three terpenes in certain indica and hybrid strains. Interestingly, linalool is so prevalent in various fruits and produce that the average person consumes about 2 grams of it annually through their diet, even if they do not consume cannabis.
Therapeutic Benefits of Linalool
Linalool is highly valued for its therapeutic effects, particularly its sedative and anti-stress properties. Strains with a significant presence of linalool can greatly aid in promoting deeper and longer sleep. Moreover, linalool has shown anticonvulsant properties, making it a potential aid for conditions involving seizures. One of the most notable benefits of linalool is its ability to reduce anxiety. Studies on rodents have demonstrated that high levels of linalool reduce depressive behaviors and allow the animals to spend more time in fear-inducing environments comfortably compared to control groups. Human studies have also found that linalool effectively lowers anxiety levels, providing promising anti-anxiety effects.
