Beta-Caryophyllene is a natural compound found in various plants, including black pepper, cloves, and cannabis. It belongs to a class of compounds known as terpenes, which contribute to the aroma and flavor of many herbs and spices. This terpene is unique because it can also interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, similar to cannabinoids. Research suggests that Beta-Caryophyllene may have potential therapeutic benefits, including anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. It is often studied for its role in pain relief and its ability to support overall wellness. As a result, it has gained attention in both the culinary and medicinal fields.
