Camphene

Camphene is an aromatic, plant-derived terpene found in cannabis as well as other fragrant plants like fir, nutmeg, ginger, and citrus peels. Throughout history, camphene has been used medicinally for a wide range of health conditions.

Research shows camphene exhibits antimicrobial, antiviral, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It has also been utilized as an expectorant and suppressant for coughs when inhaled. Beyond therapeutic applications, camphene is used commercially in fragrances, flavorings, and food additives thanks to its pungently piney scent.

When consumed via cannabis, camphene is considered to provide an energetic, stimulating effect alongside its potential health benefits. Blends containing camphene may help consumers feel focused and alert due to its invigorating properties.
