Terpenes are plant compounds with therapeutic benefits, including powerful anti-inflammatory effects. β-caryophyllene, found in black pepper and cloves, binds to CB2 receptors to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and support brain, gut, and immune health. Other terpenes like myrcene, limonene, and pinene also help combat inflammation, improve sleep, boost mood, and promote skin and respiratory health. They can be used via essential oils, foods, or supplements for natural, effective relief.
