WILD THYME HERB
Myrcene or beta-myrcene is the most prevalent of all terpenes in the cannabis plant. Known as natures "sleeping pill", myrcene is prevalent in hops and wild thyme in large percentages. Myrcene is most likely the constituent that creates the resulting sedative effects when hops is consumed in fermented-alcoholic drinks and beer, for example. 

Studies on rodent models show the sedative effects of the 3 terpenes found predominantly in cannabis - citral, myrcene and limonene. [1]

Myrcene has muscle relaxant propensities in mice, and studies have shown that the terpene initiated sleep time at higher doses. [1]
Terpenes from non-cannabis plants can be supplemented in hemp oils which acts as a carrier oil. 
Touchstone Essentials nano-sizes the molecules in the hemp oil to work with myrcene in a more absorbing powerful way. ​ORDER CBD.

CANNABIS MARIJUANA ENDICA
Myrcene is both earthy and fruity and is found more abundantly in the following herbs, fruits and plants:
  • cannabis endica​ 
  • hemp
  • hops
  • thyme
  • cloves
  • laurel bay leaf
  • mangos
  • citrus
  • basil
  • parsley
  • lemongrass

Cannabis consumers can rejoice with a myrcene-rich strain of cannabis. Other active cannabinoids are able to penetrate the blood brain barrier much faster with efficiency with myrcene as a catalyst. Eat more myrcene enriched mangoes. Anecdotal evidence suggests that eating a ripe mango before taking CBD or THC cannabis may extend the health giving effects of THC in cannabis and other cannabinoids. Myrcene is naturally synergistic with THC allowing cannabinoids to more easily flow across the blood-brain barrier to combine with other chemical compounds in the human body's endocannabinoid system.

Myrcene’s Possible Effects and Health Benefits According to Inconclusive Preliminary Studies:
  • anti-inflammatory
  • muscle relaxer
  • anti-microbial 
  • anti-septic
  • anti-oxidative
  • analgesic (pain relief)
  • antibiotic
  • sedative sleep aid
  • anti-mutagenic (destroyer of toxins)​
  • studies are ongoing for the anti-carcinogenic properties (cytoxic effects) [5]
