The cannabis terpene Geranyl acetate
-A little about Geranyl acetate
A colorless terpene with an aroma reminiscent of roses and fruit. This is a monoterpene, referring to its molecular structure. There are several different types of terpenes and terpenoids, which are precursed by terpenes. They can have many different forms and be found in various plant species all around the world. Cannabis is not the only home for most terpenes it holds.
Geranyl Acetate isn’t water soluble but it can be mixed in alcohol or some oils. It is referred to as an ‘ester’ which is a chemistry term, because it has at least one hydroxyl group in its chemical makeup. When you combine an ester with water, it creates an alcohol or acid. This particular terpene is present in over 60 essential oils, some of which include:
- Citronella
- Lemon grass
- Palmarosa
- Geranium
- Coriander
- Carrot
- Sassafras
Geranyl Acetate is used regularly to give fragrance to soaps and lotions where a rose scent is desired, or possibly geranium.
about terpenes and terpenoids
Over 40,000 different compounds are represented by terpenes and terpenoids. Plants can supply everything needed for function, growth, and repair to the human body. Scientists have discovered that plants can give our bodies much of what is necessary to function more completely, including help with pain and inflammation.
What can Geranyl acetate DO?
-
Like most terpenes, it is a known anti-fungal, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory. The medical community is beginning to see the power and potential in plants as medicine. It should come as no surprise since so many of our early analgesics and remedies came from things like tree bark. Many people used Willow tree bark as an analgesic and some still do, over aspirin.
-
Terpenes give credence to essential oils which some have mocked but there is more and more evidence proving that there absolutely are benefits to these essential oils for healing and therapy to the human body. In fact, recent research concluded that the pharmaceutical industry should be taking a hard look at Geranyl Acetate as a medication formulation for candida albicans, one of the most common types of yeast infection known to mankind. In lab tests, it did exceptionally well at killing the yeast.
-
If you are seeking a strain of medical marijuana that will have a soft, fruity and floral scent, with a strong indication toward fighting infection, then you should seek a strain with higher levels of Geranyl Acetate.
-
Terpenes, in general, are noted for reducing stress and promoting relaxation. This one will also do so, while helping you fight-off illness and infection. If you are seeking this type of help for your body, then look for this terpene specifically.
