Cannabis sativa is one of the oldest cultivated plants and has been used to make fabrics, for food… and of course, for medicine.  For all its uses, it is a plant that offers different benefits, although it is also in the midst of great controversy, since some of its compounds are psychoactive.

This ancient plant is made up of many types of cannabinoids THC, CBN, CBG… and among them is CBD or cannabidiol, which, together with THC, is one of the predominant substances in the plant, although depending on the variety, will be found in greater or lesser quantity.

Terpenes are organic compounds present in cannabis plants and in many other plants.  They are, in fact, the main components of the essential oils of some plants.  These terpenes are aromatic molecules, the combination of which in different proportions will give our liquid its characteristic aroma, but they also modulate the effect of cannabinols in our case, CBD), which is why they also influence their beneficial effects.
