Citral Terpenes

Citral terpenes play a crucial role in supporting immune health and function by providing protection against bacteria and viruses in humans. These terpenes interact with receptors in the body, triggering various physiological and psychological effects, including mood enhancement. Essential oils containing citral terpenes have been used throughout history for their beneficial properties. In the natural world, these terpenes also serve to safeguard plants and animals by acting as a defense mechanism against predators and pathogens.

Citral terpenes are abundantly present in citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits, clementines, mandarins, and kumquats. They are also found in cannabis, contributing to the entourage effect, which helps alleviate discomfort from minor or chronic pains and anxiety. By relaxing the mind, calming emotions, and offering sleep support, citrus terpenes in cannabis work synergistically to promote overall well-being.
