Sativa terpenes are compounds found in sativa strains of the cannabis plant. The terpenes found in cannabis sativa plants contribute to the aroma and potential effects. While sativa plants are known for their uplifting benefits, some terpenes may help produce other results.
Here is a closer look at some of the potential sativa terpenes effects.
Terpinolene
Terpinolene has a complex aroma. It features notes of pine, citrus, and floral. It is also believed to promote energy and alertness when paired with oils and vapes.
Pinene
Pinene is another terpene with a piney aroma. It is found in most sativa plants. It is one of the most common sativa terpenes for helping to improve focus and mental clarity. Some believe that it may even counteract some of the sedative effects of other terpenes.
Limonene
Limonene has more of a citrusy aroma compared to the previous sativa terpenes. The citrusy aroma may help elevate moods, as citrus scents are considered uplifting and refreshing.
Eucalyptol
Eucalyptol is thought to have an invigorating effect due to its cool, minty aroma. The minty scent may help wake up your senses.
Bisabolol
Bisabolol is a terpene with a sweet, floral aroma. It contributes to the overall flavor profile of sativa strains.
Alpha-Pinene
Alpha-pinene is another terpene with a piney aroma. As with pinene, alpha-pinene may boost focus and mental clarity due to its aroma.
Using these sativa terpenes may enhance the features of your oils and vapes. Consider using one or more terpenes to shape the effects and overall experience of sativa-based products.
