Science is starting to back up what traditional medicine has been demonstrating for centuries — that myrcene has numerous health benefits, most prominently powerful sedative and analgesic properties.
While these benefits can be obtained from its extract (or oil) or lemongrass essential oil, among others, there are advantages to getting the terpene from full-spectrum hemp oil.
When myrcene is taken as part of full-spectrum hemp oil, the user gets all of these benefits, plus those of other terpenes like linalool, pinene, and limonene, and of course, CBD. These compounds work together in a process called the entourage effect, which makes each one more powerful than if they were taken individually.
