Hi everybody, welcome to cannabis and how patients can use cannabis in their therapies cannabinoids and turkeys and what they can do for you let's start off with what are cannabinoids cannabinoids are basically chemicals that interact under Quinet endocannabinoid receptor system you have endocannabinoids in case you aren't sure what those are those are cannabinoids that your body actually makes to interact with that specific system now let's go on to true terpenes and like I said same with the the cannabinoids this is not a comprehensive list there are over 200 terpenes but I'm going to go over some of the more popular ones that we find in cannabis terpenes are a class of odoriferous hydrocarbons made by plants and animals.

Basically is what we smell so if you're touching pine sap or you're you know peeling lemons that sort of thing what you smell oh the terpenes being released as you do those things they're used in aromatherapy they're used internally therapeutically and topically they're even used to alert us to natural gas leaks that stench set enough natural gas has actually is a terpene and of course in air fresheners we know cannabis has terpenes but what we don't know and what tends to often get overlooked is that turkey play a major major major role and how a particular strain works not every chirping and this is covered but terpenes and the terpene profile of each of the strains really are what make each strain a different medicine if you just want THC you can go take tends to feel pretty crappy and according to mark Gordon and her lecture it really is the buy terpenes that determines the effect after really what we're going after not just the THC when we use cannabis recreationally let's go over some of the more popular terpenes that you find in canvas my favorite or one of them I have two favorites the first one is beta Kari awfully found in black pepper and cloves I tend to use clove oil in my muscle rub and there's a reason for that technically speaking beta Kari awfully could be considered a cannabinoid because it is a selective agonist of the cb2 receptor and the only terpene that actually directly interact with the endocannabinoid system.

So you could actually have a schedule and test we can use your kitchen pantry there but hey go in sniff it you're activating your cb2 r and so it's supposed to be very anti-anxiety and calming lavender also is antibacterial but topically it can be an irritant you do have to be careful I do also use lavender in my muscle pine trees it's that lovely pine smell that you get whenever you climb a fine tree nor you pine tree or you walk into a house that has evergreen wreath or something like that and you go ah smells so good it's so uplifting so painting is actually used as an energy enhancing aromatic in aromatherapy Ayurvedic medicine asserts that honey is used for antibacterial antimicrobial a parasite control which is quite interesting as pining is thought to have been developed as insect control the pine trees and as an anti-inflammatory lastly one of the more popular terpenes for sale is lemony and you will hear a lot of people talk about Wyman Enid's it's what's found in lemon rinds among other things and as we know lemon is used to be a mood enhancer reflux heartburn let's see it's used to treat reflux and heartburn it dissolves cholesterol containing Gulf Jones which I wish I had known gallstones neutralize the stomach acids was incredibly useful in GI upset answer for gallbladder health it's also used to help prevent kidney stones as well I know my husband uses it to help prevent his kidney stones and thankfully it's actually worked.
