Phytol
This terpene is acyclic diterpene alcohol that is produced by the degradation of chlorophyll. This green and grassy flavored terpene is commonly found in green tea, cannabis, and hemp. The citrusy and herbaceous flavor is not as aromatic as other terpenes found in the cannabis family. However, it is one of the more researched terpenes, so there are many reasons to get excited about it.
Research
The antioxidant properties of this terpene are well researched. Studies have shown that it also has anti-tumor properties, specifically for liver and breast cancer. Additionally, phytol was shown to have pain-relieving properties, which is theorized to be because of its potent anti-inflammatory qualities.
In hemp or cannabis, phytol is theorized to have a relaxing or sedative quality. Phytol is a terpene that you can best consume in hemp or cannabis by utilizing a vape because of the lower burning temperature. However, phytol exists in relatively small quantities in these plants, though it is often added to vape pens for flavor and potential therapeutic benefits.
This terpene continues to be heavily researched because of its medical potential. Potential therapeutic benefits include anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and anti-inflammatory. In addition, this grassy-tasting terpene may give hemp or cannabis that citrusy, green flavor that is bright on the tongue and soothing to the senses.
