Benefits of Nerolidol
If you are a cannabis, essential oil, or plant lover in general, it is important to understand that terpenes, like nerolidol, are what define the smell, taste, and therapeutic benefits of different plants.
When choosing a cannabis cultivar or essential oil that is best for your needs at any given moment, it is important to understand these terpenes so that you pick one that is going to be most supportive.
Nerolidol has a floral, woody scent, reminiscent of the scent of tree bark. It is not as well known as some of the other terpenes, like limonene (lemon) or linalool (lavender).
Benefits of Nerolidol
Anti-anxiety
*If you are looking for a cannabis strain or essential oil that calms anxiety, look for one that is high in nerolidol, especially if you are looking for an alternative to lavender or linalool.
Anti-inflammatory
*Particularly useful for systemic inflammation such as asthma, arthritis, and fibromyalgia.
*If you live with pain, look for topicals that contain high levels of or added nerolidol. When applied to the skin it improves the penetration of topical agents.
Anti-fungal
*When applied to the skin, it is particularly useful against skin funguses and candida.
I have worked part-time as a budtender for 3 years now and the number one reason people are visiting their local pot shop is for help sleeping. Choose a cannabis cultivar that is high in nerolidol to help with sleep.
