Pinene Terpenes: Smelling Good and Feeling Even Better?



Pinene is one of the most well-known terpenes and it’s found in many familiar plants, including rosemary, sage, and eucalyptus. Its name comes from the Greek word for “pine,” so it’s no coincidence it smells powerfully like a pine forest! But pinene goes well beyond just a pleasant smell, this terpene may have some pretty amazing therapeutic effects on the body!

The smell of pinene alone may have some therapeutic results, like improving mood and overall wellbeing.* Pinene may also have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, giving it potential for those suffering from conditions like acne or psoriasis.** It may also help to boost energy levels and concentration, making it perfect for use during studying or work.
