Plants produce terpenes for various reasons like attracting pollinators, repelling predators, and coping with environmental stressors. Terpenes naturally degrade over time, and store-bought buds may have lower terpene percentages due to factors like temperature, humidity, light, and improper storage. Aromatherapy uses terpenes, and they have therapeutic health benefits like anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and analgesic properties.
