The spiciest of terpenes, the terpene caryophyllene adds a pungent bite to the flavor and aroma of your favorite strain. Studies show caryophyllene may act as a pain reliever, anti-inflammatory and an antioxidant. Caryophyllene is also found in spices like black pepper, cinnamon, and oregano.

Humulene has a woody, earthy, and slightly spicy flavor and aroma, which is why it's often found in hoppy beers. Scientific researchers believe there is much potential benefit in humulene as a pharmacokinetic, meaning how the body absorbs and metabolizes drugs. Humulene's antifungal properties help trichomes in the cannabis plant ward off mold and pests. Named after the hops plant, humulene can also be found in hearty grains like barley.
