TERPENE
Eucalyptol is the cooling, minty note of eucalyptus and rosemary. Also called 1,8-cineole, eucalyptol brings a fresh, camphor-mint coolness. It is usually a minor cannabis terpene but unmistakable when present.
Aroma and character
Eucalyptol is fresh, minty and cooling with camphor and herbal edges, the classic eucalyptus scent. It reads clean and medicinal.
What research suggests
Eucalyptol is well studied for anti-inflammatory effects on the airways (it is used in cough and sinus products) and for possible effects on alertness and memory. Cannabis-specific human data is limited.
Where else it is found
Eucalyptol is abundant in eucalyptus, rosemary, sage, bay leaves and tea tree.
