Limonene is an abundant arromatic cannabis terpene with an unmistakable citrus aroma, most commonly resembling tangerine, grapefruit and lemon. Also found in high concentrations in the rinds of citrus fruits, limonene is often used in cosmetics, household cleaners, and as flavoring agents in food.

Mood elevation and euphoria are typical effects from cannabis strains high in limonene, which can aid with anxiety and depression. Limonene can also provide stress relief and often will yield a more energetic experience. Digestive issues may be improved through limonene’s potent antibacterial and antifungal effects. Limonene also boasts powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Limonene is known to allow more efficient absorption of other cannabis terpenes, making it a critical component in the overall effect unique to each strain.
