CBD (cannabidiol) is a natural molecule found in hemp and cannabis plants which have a rich medicinal history going back thousands of years. Recently, doctors and scientists have been testing and confirming the therapeutic properties of CBD. A safe, non-addictive substance, CBD is one of more than 140 “cannabinoids”, which are unique to hemp and cannabis.
Terpenes are a diverse class of organic molecular compounds produced by a variety of plants. Their properties and fragrance vary greatly between different strains providing each plant with their unique aroma and taste. They have also been known to carry an array of medicinal benefits. Each terpene presents distinct, essential qualities of their own. Hemp and cannabis are very rich in terpenes.
When combining different terpenes with other natural compounds like CBD, their therapeutic effects can increase exponentially.
