Greensations has launched the world's first cannabis nasal inhalers, but without the cannabis. Instead of using cannabinoids, these aromatherapy inhalers use strain specific terpenes found in cannabis, but derived from non-cannabis plants.

Scotia, Jul 16, 2019 (Issuewire.com) - Greensations has developed a line of cannabis nasal inhalers without using actual cannabis plant material. Instead, these aromatherapy inhalers use isolated terpenes that match specific marijuana strains, but they are derived from non-cannabis plants. The natural inhalers come in three varieties; Sativa, Indica and Hybrid. Each contains a proprietary blend of pure isolated terpenes with no fillers or carriers. The Sativa blend promotes energy while Indica promotes relaxation and the Hybrid does a little of each.

The medicinal value of cannabis has been known for centuries, but new science shows terpenoids (terpenes), are as important as cannabinoids for whole-plant therapy, also known as the "Entourage Effect". Cannabis contains dozens of terpenes responsible for the unique smell and taste of marijuana strains that work in unison with cannabinoids. By stimulating the olfactory nerves, terpenes modulate mood-altering characteristics in specific marijuana strains along with THC and CBD. That's why Indica strains tend to be more relaxing while Sativa strains are more uplifting.

For many people, terpene therapy could be more effective than CBD or THC because it mildly alters the mood without affecting cognitive abilities. Terpenes can also be used to enhance the effects of traditional CBD and THC products. Instead of making a user high, terpenes trick the brain into modulating mood and sensation.

"Terpenes are fragrance hydrocarbons that make up the essential oils in plants. Even though there's like twenty thousand known terpenes, many plants share certain ones. We take isolated terpenes that match the most prevalent ones found in popular marijuana strains. They affect the brain's mood activity without the psychoactive or physiological effects of THC or CBD," says Wayne Perry, Greensations CEO.

In the olfactory process, fragrance molecules attach to the cilia inside the nasal cavity and activate electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain. These signals modulate brain functions including memory, thoughts and emotions. Many studies have shown olfactory stimulation also produces changes in physiological parameters such as blood pressure, muscle tension, skin temperature and pulse rate.

Terpenes have been used in everything from perfume to food for decades, but thanks to the booming cannabis industry they're being used more than ever. The CBD industry relies heavily on terpenes which are added to hemp oil products to boost aroma and flavour. The recreational and medical marijuana industries also add terpenes to vape oils, distillates and edibles.

Terpene Inhalers are manufactured and distributed exclusively by Greensations and are 100% legal under all state and federal laws.
