Guaiol And The Function Of Of Cannabis Terpene
Pinene gives cannabis strains an evergreen and minty aroma. Pinene is a common and well-studied cannabis terpene.
A less common terpene also adds pine flavors. This is the terpene guaiol, which has therapeutic benefits and appears in a few popular strains, albeit in small amounts.
Unique Profile of Guaiol
Guaiol, also called "champacol," is a liquid terpene, unlike most, which are oil-based. Guaiol is found in the hard, oily wood of the tropical guaiacum plant, a subtropical evergreen. Cypress pines and other conifers contain guaiol-rich wood.
Its terpene profile has pine, wood, and rose notes. With a low boiling point for terpenes (92°C or 198°F), guaiol must be vaporized at low temperatures.
Guaiol-Containing Cannabis
Guaiol isn't a primary terpene, but it's found in some strains with pine-like aromas.
Guaiol-rich foods include:
ACDC
Cinex
Plushberry
Pennywise
Fruit Loops
Jillybean
Golden Pineapple
Chernobyl
Agent Orange
Blackberry
Benefits of Guaiol
The guaiacum plant, from which guaiol is derived, ...
... has been used in natural medicine for a long time.
After conquering San Domingo, the Spanish brought it back to Europe in the 16th century. Guaiacum gum was used to treat syphilis and regulate menstruation by the late 1700s.
This 2010 in vitro and in vivo study shows guaiol's anti-inflammatory properties.
In vitro studies show that guaiol has anti-parasitic and antioxidant properties when used with other essential oils.
This study shows that guaiol can reduce tumors and strengthen the effects of chemotherapy in mice. Although not therapeutically beneficial, guaiol can be used as an insect repellant, like terpinolene.
More research is needed to fully understand guaiol's effects, especially in cannabis.
