Linalool: The primary terpene in Lavender, linalool is a sedative and is known for its calming properties. It has a characteristic lavender scent with a hint of spiciness and can be found in over 200 types of plants! Even those who don't use cannabis consume over 2 grams of linalool each year via numerous fruits and spices. The aromatic effects are soothing, often creating a relaxed and improved mood, and research now suggests that these terpenes directly affect brain processing by modulating the behavior of brain cells. Linalool is also known to have antimicrobial properties, which protect the plant from insects as well as represent a potential therapeutic use for people in fighting cell-damaging bacteria. There have also been various studies done that have lead many to believe linalool may be a novel treatment for Alzheimer's disease, as it's been shown to reduce and regulate production of inflammatory proteins in the brain.
