Linalool

Linalool is a terpene and the shining star of lavender.  Terpenes are natural chemicals responsible for the distinctive scents of different plants, fruits, and vegetables.   A growing number of studies point to linalool’s efficacy as a tool for managing pain, anxiety, and muscle contractions, inflammation and sleep disturbances. 

Linalyl Acetate

Linalyl acetate is a terpene produced by a number of herbs and fruits, including lavender, who's rich scents are responsible for its extensive usage in fragrances and other cosmetics. Clinical trials have demonstrated linalyl acetate’s ability to alleviate anxiety disorders and treat inflammatory conditions.

Camphor

Camphor has a strong scent, often derived from the bark of the Camphor tree, but is also found in lavender.  It has been used in ancient Chinese medicine for its calming and pain relieving effects, and is in use today for topical salves and lotions that aid in muscle and joint pain, as a decongestant, to improve respiratory function, and treat some skin conditions.
