There are several types of terpenes included in this Sirius strain, such as Limonene, Caryophyllene and Humulene. Humulene is a scientifically researched terpene and is purported to have therapeutic benefits, including antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Caryophyllene targets similar healthful effects plus pain relief.
