Terpene of the Week - Linalool

Cannabinoids such as CBD for horses are found in hemp plants that are also particularly rich with terpenes along with the plant’s essential oils and resins. They provide the distinctive smells and tastes that we use in hemp-derived CBD oil for horses or CBD horse or dog treats.  Terpenes are extremely important for the benefits of the “entourage effect” which means all parts of the plant work together synergistically or in cohesion to achieve the maximum benefit for your horse or dog’s health and wellness.  The entourage effect occurs when all parts of the hemp plant including terpenes, cannabinoids, flavonoids, and fatty acids are still present after the extraction process and production of CBD from hemp.

Linalool: You may have tried products with lavender scents to help you get a good night’s sleep. Linalool is the main terpene found in lavender. It has been used as an herbal remedy for many reasons, especially for behavioral and calming conditions related to anxiety and sleeplessness. It’s also found in CBD horse products and CBD oil for horses and dogs. Linalool has a floral scent common to lavender, coriander and many spices, herbs and flowers
