The main cannabinoids
A cannabinoid is a molecule naturally present in hemp and other sources, such as the human body. Cannabinoids interact with the endocannabinoid system, a network of receptors in the body that regulates essential functions such as mood, sleep, appetite, pain, and the immune system.
Entourage effect:
Cannabinoids often work synergistically with terpenes to enhance their benefits in what's known as the entourage effect. This phenomenon optimizes the therapeutic effects of hemp extracts.
In summary, cannabinoids are key molecules that influence our well-being by modulating essential biological processes.
â
What are terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds naturally present in many plants, including hemp (Cannabis sativa). They give plants their distinctive scents, such as the lemony scent of citrus fruits, the woody aroma of pine, or the floral notes of lavender.

Role of terpenes
-
Aromatic: Terpenes determine the aromas and flavors of hemp or cannabis strains.
-
Protector: In nature, they protect plants by repelling predators and attracting pollinators.
-
Therapeutic: Terpenes interact with cannabinoids to amplify their effects as part of the entourage effect.

Why are they important?
Terpenes play a key role in the sensory and therapeutic experience of hemp products. They influence not only the taste and smell, but also the effects experienced, working hand in hand with cannabinoids like CBD or CBG.
In short, terpenes aren't just there for show: they enrich the experience and amplify the benefits of this fascinating plant!
