Cannabis Terpenes 101: What is Delta 3 Carene?

What is Delta 3 Carene

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Another in our cannabis terpenes series is Delta 3 Carene. Unlike THC and CBD, which are cannabinoids that occur in large amounts in the cannabis plant – up to 30% THC in some cases – terpenes are not found in as high quantities. In fact, most cannabis plants have less than 2% terpene content. That makes the influence of terpenes all the more impressive when you consider how much it affects aromas of particular strains, as well as the medical benefits.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”26624″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Often referred to as the bone-repairing terpene, Delta 3 Carene has some very potent medical qualities. This is largely due to the potent anti-inflammatory properties exhibited by this terpene.
Anecdotal evidence and research shows us that Delta 3 Carene can actually boost bone healing for a quicker recovery. This is largely beneficial for individuals suffering from arthritis, bursitis, fibromyalgia and researchers are hopeful it can benefit individuals battling osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. This can also prove beneficial from anyone recovering from malnutrition.
While extremely impressive, bone healing is not the only benefit presented by Delta 3 Carene. This powerful terpene is also able to:

  • Relieve acute inflammation, such as with arthritis or fibromyalgia
  • Increase bone growth and bone repair, especially in cases of malnutrition or injury
  • Stimulate memory to help improve retention – good news for Alzheimer’s patients!
