Terpenes are organic chemical compounds that are present in the cannabis plant. They are located in the trichomes, the tiny hairs that protect the plant’s outer layer and give cannabis its distinct smell and flavour. Although terpenes are usually associated with cannabis, they can also be found in other plants, such as herbs like thyme and fruits like lemons.
Cannabis and terpenes are not different entities but rather work synergistically to create unique properties through the entourage effect. They share the same chemical precursor, geranyl phosphate, with examples like Beta-caryophyllene serving as both a terpenoid and cannabinoid, underscoring the interconnectedness between the two.
One notable distinction between cannabinoids and terpenes is that cannabinoids do not significantly impact scent and flavour, whereas terpenes have a visible influence on these sensory aspects.
Terpenes are aromatic compounds that deliver a sensory experience during inhalation and ingestion, research suggests they also possess therapeutic properties that can help treat various ailments.
Poor gut health can cause many chronic illnesses, including inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, cancer and autism. But there are many ways to solve this, including the use of alternative medicines like terpenes to ease the struggles and improve life output.

Everyone has difficulty focusing from time to time. Exhaustion, stress, and hormonal changes can make it hard to concentrate on the task of hand. However, persistent difficulties in staying focused could be indicative of an underlying psychiatric condition. Chronic issues with concentration may be linked to:
With Focus and Flow terpenes, this is no longer a problem due to its unique blend of CB2 terpenes. The blend can potentially improve mood and focus, support neuroplasticity, and promote cognitive health. Research suggests that B-caryophyllene, a compound derived from plants, including cannabis, may reduce brain cell death and inflammation. Along with linalool, it may also improve REM sleep, which is crucial for memory retention, thereby aiding neuroplasticity and cognitive health.
Focus and Flow terpenes also include D-3 Carene, which is found in various plants, including cannabis, basil, and rosemary, has been shown to potentially enhance memory retention by improving sleep. Similarly, studies suggest A- and B- Pinene organic compounds enhance cell viability, potentially leading to neuroprotection and improved focus and flow.
Additionally, its hemp seed oil concentration reduces stress and anxiety, which can impact brain function and focus. It has been used in the treatment of ADHD, with results suggesting that it may increase focus and concentration in individuals.
Terpenes, like cannabinoids, are believed to interact with specific protein cell receptors in the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) to produce therapeutic effects. The ECS is a natural physiological system found in both humans and animals, responsible for maintaining balance in the body by regulating functions such as mood, pain, appetite, sleep, stress, and more.
A research conducted in 2008 discovered that the terpene caryophyllene is the first non-cannabinoid compound known to directly activate cannabinoid receptors in the body. Further research is needed, but it is possible that other terpenes may work through the same pathway by activating different cell receptors in ECS.

Continuing usage of this product may lead to positive effects such as deep muscular and mental relaxation, which can benefit various aspects of personal health, including pain management.
