This is a sesquiterpenoid that’s natural, found in various mushrooms and some sour fruits too, which plays a huge part in anti-inflammatory parts of this, based on the entourage effect, which is great for managing pain that’s chronic, reduces cancer, and also is a natural antibacterial. This also may help with THC passage through a blood brain barrier, and it smells earthy and woody.
How it works
This is one that does have a woody and earthy smell, and is found in a lot of eucalyptus plants, pineapple, guava leaves, and also cannabis oil. This is a sesquiterpenoid that has the molecular formula C15H24, which means that it has some other formulas similar to sativene as well. This is a more diverse kind of terpenoid out there.
For those who don’t know, terpenoids are those that have other kinds of functional groups, most of which contain oxygen and other benefits, which means that, while related to terpenes, they do have specific effects that differ from terpenes.
Terpenes are a subclass of this, and there are other subclasses too, and are made through the hydrolysis of other intermediates that are out there. How this works is simple. It’s got two major Things:
- Exocyclic methylene that helps with antibacterial properties of stuff
- The cyclopropane ring that does offer anesthetic properties, including the reduction of pain sensation
These two things are a part of different cannabis compounds. For that reason, different terpenes do offer different smell and taste triggers, and most of these terpenes except for beta caryophyllene and atypical cannabinoids usually interact with the ECS.

While this doesn’t mean that every single terpene will affect your receptors in the same way, contributing to overall therapeutic benefits, in the instance of aromadendrene, it works with both dopamine and serotonin receptors, contributing to the release of such.
The benefits and Usages
This is used for a variety of applications, including:
- Antibacterial reasons, since it does synergize well with cineole, another terpene, so it’s great for antibacterial functions
- Reduces inflammation
- Antioxidants
- Reduces depression
- Reduces instances of cancer, especially when it works together with beta-caryophyllene
The extract that comes from the leaves of this usually is found in different plants, including ndole, bitterleaf, ewuro, and onugbu, and they’ve been used in medicine traditionally for treating different skin problems including itchy skin, various allergies, and also ulcers which are chronic. It also offers other terpenoids and terpenes, along with some of the most common ones, alongside what aromadrene has as well.
Right now, it’s something that’s used typically in traditional medicine to help with irritation, pruritus, and also acne, and it’s a very popular compound in industrial products, including skin products, and perfumes too!

This is typically found in most cannabis plants too, and you can find this in other kinds of plants as well, including the eucalyptus plants, the peppermint plants, the spider flower, the roundleaf cancerwort, along with round-leaved fluellen, and also the sharp leaf cancerwort.
This is something that’s good for you to have, and it doesn’t seem to pose any harm when you consume it in cannabis, fruits, or veggies, however, if you do consume too much of this, or if you take too many oils, there is a chance that you may experience bad effects, including drowsiness, a cough that’s persistent, wheezing, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, skin irritations, sometimes chemical burns, and also irritation of the eyes and pain, especially if you consume large amounts, so be mindful of that, and only consume it in the plants that are safe to use.
