This terpene exists in many cannabis species, with a scent that does not require you to be a genius to guess - PINE! it is one of the most researched terpenes in the field, and exists in two variations: * (α -pinene)  (β-pinene) ## These two hold a lot of attributes \ Expanding airways

• Reduces pain
• Alleviate anxiety
• Conserves and reduce short time memory damage Pinene is such a powerful terpene, that it is used in many medications to treat liver and kidney problems. ## What makes pinene a unique terpene The speed at which it interacts with other cannabinoids in the cannabis plant, along with CBD, pinene blocks inflammation and promotes antibiotic influence.  Along with THC, pinene opens the airway pathways in the lungs with bronchodilating effects in chronic conditions such as asthma.  The alpha type has a scent more resembling rosemary and pine, while the beta type basil, this terpene exists in many plants and herbs such as: ## In what plants and herbs pinene can be found?
  
  
  
• Eucalyptus
• Pine
• Oranges
• Rosemary
• Basil ## What qualities Pinene has to offer us Expanding airways In rodents, early administration of Pinene brought in a decrease in symptoms of allergic rhinitis.  In humans, a similar observation was made in asthma. Anti-anxiety Animal trial in 2014, rodents inhaling pinene experienced a big decrease in anxiety levels compared to a placebo. a daily inhalation over the course of 5 days. Analgesic pain Orally given, in mice, Pinene displayed pain relief qualities in inflammation and neuropathic pain. Anti-inflammatory, cancer agents, bacteria, and fungal In 2005, alpha Pinene presented an ability to inhibit certain bacteria, including E-coli, Salmonel, and staph infection. In a 2011 study posted in a British pharmacology magazine, pinene displayed anti-inflammatory qualities in Crohn's disease, cancer, and arthritis. Another study displayed Pinene's high toxicity to fungal infections. Pinene managed to decrease cancer tumors.  Pinene's effect on THC, memory and neurological diseases Pinene plays an important part in the entourage effect, by reducing THC's psychoactive attributes, like anxiety, paranoia, and short term memory loss. it was found that high concentrations of THC and low pinene - were found harmful to memory, compared to other species with higher Pinene. Research is limited, but some researchers suggest, that the potential to aid exists in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.
