A natural sedative, linalool works alongside cannabis to ease the mind and body with delicate floral aromas
Linalool has also been studied for its Powerful anti-convulsive properties
Lavender has been recognized for millennia for its ability to calm the body with even a brief exposure to its scent. Commonly found in alternative medicine in the form of aromatherapy oils and extracts, Linalool is the essential oil that is responsible for this mellowing reaction in Lavender. It’s also found in several strains of cannabis, making for a powerful combination of pain-relieving effects. Although more rare than terpenes in cannabis like Myrcene and Pinene, Linalool seems to hold some promising benefits that merit further study.
