alpha-Humulene

Humulene is one of the core cannabis terpenes, along with myrcene and terpinolene, limonene, pinene, and geraniol. Humulene is a very common terpene in nature and in cannabis. The cannabis plant produces humulene as part of its natural defences. Humulene is always part of the cannabis terpene profile. Therefore, this prolific oil plays a part in all of the modified genotypes of different strains. Humulene helps distinguish fragrances, recreational effects, and overall therapeutic efficacy. Humulene is also no stranger to modern biomedical research, including studies on black pepper, hops, and ginseng, and research has proven it to be an effective anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and appetite suppressant.
