HUMULENE FACTS

 

Humulene gets its name from Humulus lupulus (common hops) and is one of the dominant terpenes found in this sought after plant. While humulene is closely related to Beta Caryophyllene, it is a separate isomer with distinct properties.

humulene is not only found in hops, it is also found in, basil, clove, black pepper, sage, cannabis and ginseng. This is likely because humulene is produced in the resin of mature cannabis plants to help form a natural defense system, fighting against pests, animals, and bacteria.

Humulene has shown to be a powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic with potential tumor-fighting and anti-cancer properties when combined with Phyto cannabinoids and other terpenes. Humulene is unique because it acts as an appetite suppressant, making it ideal for weight loss treatments. It has commonly been used as a major remedy for inflammation and has been well known and incorporated in Chinese medicine for generations.
