FAQ
Some of the most popular terpenes for pain include myrcene, beta-caryophyllene, linalool and pinene. Each has its own distinctive smell and effect profile, and I find that some like the relaxing myrcene and linalool while others opt for beta-caryophyllene for a possible interaction with the ECS.” The best option for you depends on your comfort preferences and personal tastes.
First, figure out if your pain is due to more nerve-related issues, muscular problems or general discomfort. For rates, beta-caryophyllene and linalool are popular, while myrcene is favored for overall pain and relaxation. Try different blends and formats, and keep a journal to see which profiles support you most in your own experience.
If used as directed, hardly a single person has a problem with terpenes, although some people are sensitive to certain compounds-even in large enough amounts. These can also lead to side effects like skin irritation, allergic reaction or drowsiness (particularly with myrcene or linalool). Begin with modest amounts, patch-test topicals on your forearm first, and stop using a product if you feel any irritation or adverse reaction.
