The Terpene Trio: Sativa, Indica, Hybrid
Welcome to the amazing world of cannabis terpenes at Nurse Wellness! This blog is your introduction into the smelly aromatic essences which define effects within cannabis. Whether you are a seasoned enthusiast or just beginning, understanding the nuances of terpenes between various strains of cannabis—Sativa, Indica, and hybrid—can influence your choice of cannabis products to a great extent.
Delving into the Essence of Terpenes
What are terpenes? Besides serving to please our senses, these are the aromatic compounds fundamental to the character of cannabis and its therapeutic effect. Terpenes do more than create memorable aromas; they enhance and alter the effects of THC and CBD through the “entourage effect.” This is the intricate dance between cannabinoids and terpenes, the reason each strain of cannabis affords a totally unique experience in suitable therapeutic or recreational needs.
The Energetic World of Sativa Terpenes
Welcome to the invigorating world of Sativa, where energy and creativity can take flight. Main players include:
- Limonene: Think lemon fresh, and this terpene slices through stress, lifting your mood.
- Pinene: Sharpen your focus while you breathe in the freshness of a forest, clearing the fog of THC.
- Strains like Super Lemon Haze and Jack Herer are full of terpenes and are ideal to take during the day when you need a little bit of energy and alertness.
The Soothing Aura of Indica Terpenes
The indica strains are truly all about good taste for the relief of anxiety and relaxation:
- Myrcene: This terpene is similar to the ground after a rain—musky, tranquil, great for sedation, and relaxation.
- Linalool: This is the floral, peaceful one that’s your pal for clearing the head and slipping into restful sleep.
- Treat yourself to strains like Granddaddy Purple and Blueberry and be wrapped in a shroud of tranquility after a taxing day.
The Balanced Symphony of Hybrid Terpenes
Hybrids combine the best of both Sativa and Indica worlds, with an even balance of terpenes:
- Caryophyllene: Spicy and bold; it could go straight to your body’s receptors and relieve inflammation.
- Humulene: Earthy and mild, it complements caryophyllene in the quest to reduce inflammation.
- Look through varieties such as OG Kush and Girl Scout Cookies, which provide a balanced effect and are self-adjusting to your liking throughout the day.
Finding the right cannabis strain for you is quite an art, not a science, but there are several steps to help you along the way:
Chase Your Desired Effects: What are you seeking from cannabis? Are you looking to relax, relieve pain, gain mental clarity, or perhaps just experience an emotional lift? Know your desires to guide your strain choices.
Estimate Your Experience Level: Your history of cannabis is what shapes your tolerance. Newbies may gravitate toward more subtle THC and higher CBD strains, while seasoned warriors may be ready to tiptoe into more potent territory. Embark on Trials: Because everyone’s reaction is different, you have to experiment with a few strains to discover personal harmony.

3Chi: CBC Tincture 1000mg
Cannabichromene, or CBC, is a cannabinoid with only a few formal scientific studies conducted on it. Some studies show particular promise with elevating mood along with reports of enhancing other cannabinoids. Paired with a broad-spectrum blend of other cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, CBDv, and CBN) it is still a very well rounded cannabinoid blend.
While appearing to be safe and well-tolerated, there is not large scale testing that would definitively suggest one way or the other. While our initial studies suggest that CBC may be a great cannabinoid for improving mood, the use of this product is experimental on your part. Consult your physician before use. Test in small doses if using with other cannabinoids, especially any forms of THC.

CBC Oil Tincture Directions
Take every day with or after eating food for best results. This 1oz bottle comes with a metered dropper for easy, accurate dosing. These oils are sublingual, which means they are designed to be dropped UNDER your tongue and held there for at least 1-2 minutes. The many blood vessels in that area will absorb the cannabinoids directly into the blood stream, bypassing digestion for a typically quicker onset time than gummies and better bioavailability. If the oil is added to food or just swallowed directly before being held under the tongue, it will digest more like a gummy, and you likely won't get the full intended benefits.
Legalities
