Axatra Terpinolene

Terpinolene is classified as a member of the "terpinenes" monoterpenes class. It can be found in various plants and contributes to their aromatic profile, often evoking the scents of fresh pine trees and citrus.

While research suggests that terpinolene might possess sedative properties, anecdotal accounts propose that strains rich in terpinolene could have more energizing effects. Ultimately, its impact could be influenced by the presence of other terpenes and compounds. The odor of terpinolene is described as terpy, piney, and reminiscent of lemons. Beyond its potential medicinal use, terpinolene is utilized in plastic and resin production, distinguished by its light amber color. Additionally, in specific contexts, terpinolene may constitute over 20% of the total terpene content or not be present at all, with possible sedative effects when inhaled.
