Possessing a strong floral aroma, geranyl also exudes notes of pear, banana, peach and apple. Alternately referred to as geranyl acetate, the terpene demonstrates antimicrobial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"what-is-geranyl\">\n\tWhat is geranyl?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to a frequent presence in essential oils, geranyl is found in a remarkable variety of botanicals. Almond seeds, celery, and coffee are a few of the diverse natural sources of geranyl. As with many other terpenes, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/the-plant\/borneol\">borneol<\/a>, geranyl has a rich history in natural medicine and has been tapped to manage pain. Traditional Chinese medicine, for example, has employed oils containing geranyl to treat stomach aches. The terpene has also been used in Eastern medicine to relieve swelling, and sa study from 2011 has found that geranyl may exhibit an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/21126004\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">anti-inflammatory effect<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"geranyl-in-everyday-life\">\n\tGeranyl in everyday life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fragrance and food industries use geranyl in a broad scope of products, and you have likely encountered the terpene in your self-care routine or dining experiences. Bath gels, baby powder and shampoo are among the products in which geranyl serves as a fragrance enhancer, emitting a rosy or lavender essence. Likewise, if you've ever lit rose or lavender incense in your home, or placed a jar of potpourri in the bathroom, you may have experienced geranyl. Due to the terpene's widespread occurrence in plants, it can have a versatile flavor profile in foods including cinnamon and citrus. The citrus taste derives from geranyl's connection to <a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/the-plant\/citronellol\">citronellol<\/a> as a primary element of citronella oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"therapeutic-properties-of-geranyl\">\n\tTherapeutic properties of geranyl<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In isolation and as a component of essential oils working in tandem with other ingredients, geranyl has demonstrated antimicrobial, antifungal, and antitumor qualities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-antitumor\"><strong>Antitumor<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Promising results from a 2018 study published in the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/29745075\" target=\"_blank\">oncology journal J BUON<\/a> have demonstrated the powerful antitumor effects of geranyl. Geranyl attacks cancerous cells through multiple mechanisms, which suggests it could be more effective than medications that don't have this multi-tiered effect on cancer cells. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-antimicrobial-and-antifungal\"><strong>Antimicrobial and antifungal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5506734\/\" target=\"_blank\">A 2017 study<\/a> by Algerian and Spanish scientists examined the antimicrobial and antifungal activity of Helichrysum italicum essential oil, of which geranyl acetate is a major constituent. The authors found that the oil was effective in fighting several types of fungi, yeast, and bacteria. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5783815\/\" target=\"_blank\">A 2018 follow-up study<\/a> published in the same journal further substantiates geranyl's utility against microsporum gypseum, a fungus that can cause skin infections. These findings <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/20337938\" target=\"_blank\">build upon earlier studies<\/a>, which have shown that geranyl has a synergistic effect on fighting infection, when used in combination with the common antifungal medication flucanazole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-analgesic\"><strong>Analgesic<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2013, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3658412\/\" target=\"_blank\">a toxicology journal<\/a> published results demonstrating that at high doses, geranyl can relieve pain in animal models. The authors concluded that geranyl's potential as an analgesic medication are likely due, at least in part, to its antioxidant properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"role-of-geranyl-in-cannabis\">\n\tRole of geranyl in cannabis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Zkittlez is a type of <a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/cannabis-and-your-body\">cannabis<\/a> notable for its geranyl content, as well as higher than average levels of other terpenes, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/the-plant\/what-we-know-about-linalool\">linalool<\/a>. Cannabis that is rich in geranyl displays a pleasant combination of floral and fruity scents, with the latter also presenting as a flavor experience.
