delta-3 Carene

The terpene delta-3 Carene is found in a wide variety of aromatic plants like rosemary, basil, and cedar, cypress and pine trees. Its characteristic scent can be compared to walking down a needle-strewn trail in a damp coniferous forest. Breathe in, breathe out, and experience the evocative aroma of musky earth and pine resin with a balsamic undertone. The sweet citrusy flavour of delta-3 Carene is found in many popular cannabis cultivars. It is also responsible for the hallmark dry mouth and red eyes experienced by smokers. Science continues to study the many therapeutic effects of delta-3 Carene including its anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties, bone health support and relief from neuropathic conditions like fibromyalgia and Alzheimer’s. Cannabis strains with high delta-3 Carene content tend to be uplifting and energizing, allowing for mental clarity and creative focus.
