The Benefits of Myrcene and Hashinene
Myrcene is one of the #1 terpenes in hemp essential oils, mangoes, cannabis derived terpenes...
as well as lemongrass, cardamom and hops essential oils. Myrcene, or more specifically beta-Myrcene has a very hashy herbal aroma with hints of citrus or fruit. Myrcene is a terpene that you will recognize as soon as you smell the terpene isolate. The benefits of Myrcene suggest that it is one of the leading contributors to the terpene entourage effect. Myrcene is suggested to be sedative and relieve pain however these claims are still being researched. Myrcene very commonly occurs alongside the terpene Caryophyllene and is believed to degrade into the cannabis terpene hashinene when exposed to oxidation. Hashinene is the rarest cannabis terpene and is only confirmed to exist in hash, but not the living plant. It is believed that only under the very unique conditions of hash making that cause heat, oxidation, and pressure changes will myrcene degrade into the hashinene terpene. It is not believed to exist in the plant or flowers but only in hashish.
