Terpenes 101: Bisabolol

Welcome back to our Terpenes 101 series! Today, we're diving into the world of Bisabolol, a terpene that's not as well-known as hemp flower heavy hitters like myrcene or caryolphyllene but still extremely impactful on both hemp’s aroma and its therapeutic potential.

If you’ve been following this, you already know how fascinating these aromatic compounds can be. If you’re new here, welcome to the journey of exploring the incredible terpenes found in hemp.

Just in case you’re not familiar, here’s a quick refresher on what terpenes are… Terpenes are aromatic compounds found across the natural world. They’re responsible for the trademark aromas of lemons, lavender, cannabis, and just about anything that has a smell. They also interact with other compounds, and when they interact with cannabinoids, they produce what’s called the “entourage effect.” This is a term that’s used to describe the increased effects that are felt when ingesting multiple compounds in the cannabis plant at one time.

Now, let’s get to know Bisabolol!

What is Bisabolol?

Bisabolol (also known as alpha-Bisabolol) is a naturally occurring terpene that’s most commonly found in chamomile. Yes, that same chamomile that soothes your soul in a hot cup of tea! But this calming compound isn't limited to just your evening brew. Bisabolol can also be found in cannabis and other plants like the candela tree, which is native to Brazil.

This terpene is known for its subtle, floral aroma with hints of sweetness and spice. It’s delicate yet distinct, making it a wonderful addition to the aromatic profile of CBD flower.

What are the Benefits of Bisabolol?

Bisabolol is celebrated for its potential therapeutic properties, many of which contribute to its widespread use in the wellness industry. Chamomile, which contains a substantial concentration of bisabolol, has been used in the world of natural medicine since the time of the ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks.

We at Tweedle Farms can’t speak to the medical benefits of bisabolol, but we can certainly attest to the calming effects of chamomile tea. From there, we’ll let you draw your own conclusions.

Where Can You Find Bisabolol?

While chamomile is the most well-known source of Bisabolol, you can also find it in a variety of hemp and cannabis strains. Some strains are bred specifically to enhance their Bisabolol content, so if you’re looking to experience this terpene, check the lab reports (or COAs) of your hemp products.
