Sesquiterpenes
Guaiol- Terpene Profile
Guaiol is a sesquiterpenoid alcohol primarily produced in the essential oil of its namesake Guaiacum and in the Cypress Pine. One of the Cannabis plant’s most highly concentrated terpenes, the compound’s heady pine, rose and violet aroma is the reason that Gauiol is frequently used in products that promote sensory experiences through smell, such as soaps and perfumes. A key therapeutic compound in traditional medicine’s treatment of rheumatic diseases, modern medicine has additionally confirmed Guaiol’s potent antifungal, antibacterial and diuretic properties.
