What is valencene?

The benefits of valencene

—01

Valencene as a Bug Repellant

First of all, as with the majority of terpenes, this one keeps bugs away. It is commonly found in oranges and it gives its name to the Valencia orange variety due to the high concentration found in them. If you drop your nose into a jar filled with a strain of marijuana with high concentrations of Valencene, you will smell the sweet aroma of oranges. That’s Valencene at work.

Valencene repels mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks, better than DEET, with no harmful chemicals. Those of you who are already thinking about how to use this on your dogs can find it already in use in some flea shampoos for dogs and in natural flea repellant products.

Valencene: A Natural Anti-Inflammatory

It also works as an anti-inflammatory, which seems to be par for the course with most terpenes. They pack a powerful punch when boosting the immune system and help to keep you healthy and feeling no pain.

Valencene for Chemotherapy Recovery

This terpene also seems to enhance the way the body recovers from chemotherapy treatment, allowing the chemo drug therapy to work more effectively in the body, while the other cannabinoid benefits help to keep nausea and stomach upset to a dull roar. This is a good strain to use if you are feeling the negative effects of chemotherapy.
