Herbal use has grown exponentially in a relatively short period of time. Because of the internet, plus expanding legislation, there are more users than there have ever been before.
One of the many aspects of herbal use is known as terpenes. You may hear about botanical derived terpenes or something similar. But it helps to know what botanically derived terpenes are and what they do.
What Are Botanical Terpenes?
Botanically derived terpenes are, as the name implies, terpene isolates. These are extracted from completely legal plants such as citrus, lavender, pine needles, and cloves. Extracts are generally from one plant but can come from a number of different sources.
The terpenes can then be optimized to make use of their health benefits. Whether it be the soothing feeling or the smell, there are plenty of reasons why these terpenes have become so valuable throughout the last several years.
What Are Terpenes Used for?
Botanically derived terpenes have a plethora of uses. We touched on the aroma and flavor, but the effects are noticeable, too. Once they have been isolated, the terpenes are no different than the kind you would find in any other plant type. They can even be blended to create different effects.
Despite being sourced from everyday spices and plants, they can be used to create flavors, scents, and effects in things such as cannabis strains. It is a great way to experience the benefits without having to experience the psychoactive effects that cannabis can have.
