One of these terpenes is linalool, whose fresh, floral scent is most notably present in lavender.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here we break down exactly what linalool is while sharing the terpene's origins and analyzing its potential health benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"what-is-linalool\">\n\tWhat is linalool?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Linalool is a terpene derived from flower and spice plants, as well as some fungi. Linalool is frequently used as a scent and flavoring agent in addition to serving as an element in pesticides. Since the 19th century, linalool has been produced naturally and synthetically, as the demand for the terpene is increasingly high. The terpene is known for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, sedative, and stress-relieving properties.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-linalool-good-for\">What is linalool good for?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Linalool is a common ingredient in a wide variety of commercial products. Up to 80% of shampoos, detergents, and soaps may contain linalool, favored for its pleasant floral aroma. Skincare products with Vitamin E may also contain linalool, as the vitamin is a byproduct of linalool. If you check the labels on these household products and see the terms beta linalool, linalyl alcohol, or linaloyl oxide, then you'll know that this terpene is a part of the chemical composition.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Linalool is also used as an insecticide to kill fruit flies, fleas, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/news\/2018\/11\/linalool-a-terpene-found-in-lacroix-and-in-weed-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cockroaches<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Similar to the terpenes camphene and citronellol, linalool may be used as an ingredient in mosquito repellents. Finally, if you have a birch tree in your backyard or some fresh mint in your kitchen, you have experienced linalool, which is produced by more than 200 species of plants. Other plants that produce the terpene include rosewood, lavender, laurel, and sweet basil. In fact, linalool is one of the most abundant lavender terpenes, so you may have experienced the compound if you've ever relaxed with a few drops of lavender oil during a massage session or yoga class.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-foods-contain-linalool\"><b>What foods contain linalool?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to naturally occurring in an array of herbs and spices, linalool may be an ingredient in a surprising number of foods as well as carbonated beverages. Foods as diverse as meat products, puddings, relishes, and candies may contain the terpene as a flavor enhancer. Linalool's variety of culinary uses extends to chewing gum and alcoholic beverages including liqueurs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"therapeutic-properties-of-linalool\">\n\tTherapeutic properties of linalool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Linalool's potential benefits and therapeutic effects are extensive. Many individuals look to linalool as a natural tool to relieve insomnia. Researchers are also exploring its potential use to mediate symptoms of Alzheimer's and other neurological conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-antimicrobial\"><b>Antimicrobial<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One scientific study published in 2012 in the journal Anaerobe revealed that linalool demonstrated <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/22537719\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">strong antimicrobial activity<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> against bacteria found in the mouth. As a result, the researchers recommended toothpaste and gargling solutions with low concentrations (less than 0.4 milligrams per milliliter) of linalool.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-anti-inflammatory\"><b>Anti-inflammatory<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Journal of Surgical Research published a study in 2013 examining how linalool could affect an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0022480412009699\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">acute lung injury in a mouse<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The scientists concluded that linalool inhibited inflammation in the mouse model control group and could, therefore, be a candidate for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-neurological\"><b>Neurological<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Linalool's potential as a therapeutic neurological agent is under exploration, with one 2015 study published in the journal Neuropharmacology indicating that the terpene could offer <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26549854\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">hope for Alzheimer's disease patients<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The study found that linalool reversed the neuropathological and behavioral impairments in mice with a model of Alzheimer's.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Linalool has also demonstrated <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/10374249\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">therapeutic potential in another neurological condition<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, epilepsy, according to a 1999 study published in the journal Phytomedicine.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This study found that the terpene could offer anti-convulsive properties in seizure models.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-linalool-as-a-sedative\"><b>Linalool as a sedative<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As experienced through the inhalation of essential oils, <\/span><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/18824339\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">linalool may produce sedative effects<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in people, according to a 2009 study conducted on animals and published in Phytomedicine. Researchers found that lavender oil containing linalool could induce sedation without affecting motor coordination.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"does-linalool-get-you-high\">\n\tDoes linalool get you high?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Breathing in linalool through cannabis may produce a stress-reducing effect as well as an uplifted mood thanks to the olfactory processing of the floral scent. Further, as a component of lavender oil, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3612440\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">linalool may also reduce stress<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in people according to a comprehensive study titled \"Lavender and the Nervous System\" published in 2013 in the journal Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The authors of the study asserted: \u201cLinalool and linalyl acetate are rapidly absorbed through the skin after topical application with massage and are thought to be able to cause central nervous system depression.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mild depression of the central nervous system produces a feeling of calm, slowing both the breathing and heart rates, which indirectly translates as a relaxed feeling. Therefore, linalool inhalation through cannabis or an essential oil may have a positive, calming effect on brain cells and pain signals.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"cannabis-strains-high-in-linalool\">\n\tCannabis strains high in linalool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you want to experience the relaxing effects of this terpene, there are numerous<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/strains\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cannabis varieties<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> high in linalool, such as the following:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/strains\/amnesia-haze\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Amnesia Haze<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/strains\/lavender\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lavender<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/strains\/master-kush\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Master Kush<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/strains\/pink-kush\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pink Kush<\/span><\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Special Kush<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">OG Shark<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/strains\/la-confidential\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">LA Confidential<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"is-linalool-toxic-to-humans\">\n\tIs linalool toxic to humans?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a general rule, linalool is non-toxic to humans when inhaled in small amounts as part of an essential oil or cannabis product. In fact, a 2014 study published in the Journal of Food Science found that people inadvertently <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/epdf\/10.1111\/1750-3841.12407\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">consume more than two (2) grams of linalool<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> each year.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, some people may experience a topical linalool allergy, resulting in contact dermatitis and symptoms such as itching and a rash.
