A floral terpene found in lavender and cannabis, associated with calming, anti-anxiety, and sleep-promoting effects.
Linalool is a floral terpene best known as the dominant aromatic compound in lavender. In cannabis, it contributes a sweet, floral, slightly spicy scent and is associated with calming, anti-anxiety, and sleep-promoting effects. Linalool is also found in birch bark, mint, and over 200 species of plants.
Linalool has been used in traditional aromatherapy for centuries to promote relaxation. Modern research supports many of these traditional uses. Studies have shown that linalool inhalation can reduce anxiety-like behaviors in animal models, and it has demonstrated anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anticonvulsant properties in preclinical research. A study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found linalool to be one of the most potent anti-inflammatory terpenes tested from plant sources.
Cannabis strains high in linalool include Lavender, Amnesia Haze, LA Confidential, Granddaddy Purple, and Do-Si-Dos. Consumers seeking relaxation, stress relief, or help with sleep often gravitate toward linalool-rich strains. The terpene is particularly valued in evening strains and in products designed for anxiety management. When combined with myrcene and CBD, linalool can contribute to a deeply calming cannabis experience.
