Benefits & Ingredients
TERPENES
Terpenes are aromatic oils found in many plants. These oils contribute to the plant’s aroma and are thought to play a role in plant based health and protection.
The primary terpenes in Dragon are Menthol and Camphor. These naturally occurring compounds are well known for their analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties and have been used in medicine for centuries.
Menthol is known for its cooling sensation on the skin. It has pain-relieving properties based on its ability to block specific ion channels responsible for perceiving pain. It is particularly effective in alleviating muscle pain, joint pain, and inflammation-related discomfort.
Camphor also interacts with our temperature receptors but instead of producing a cooling effect, it produces a warming effect. It too is known for its pain-relieving properties and combining these two terpenes enhances overall relief.
In addition to camphor and menthol, our formulation includes other beneficial terpenes such as humulene, pinene, myrcene, and nerolidol, each chosen to encourage the “entourage effect”, a term used to describe the potential synergistic interaction between various plant compounds. This theory suggests that the combined effect of hemp-derived cannabinoids and terpenes may enhance the overall wellness experience. The entourage effect is a topic of ongoing research and there is more to be discovered about the expanded therapeutic benefits of plant-derived terpenes.
CANNABINOIDS
CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a non-psychoactive organic compound found in hemp, a variety of the hemp-derived Sativa plant. Hemp-extracted cannabinoids, including CBD, CBG, CBN, and others, are active compounds from the hemp plant. CBG and CBN are emerging as interesting subjects in the realm of natural compounds due to their unique properties.
While ongoing research is exploring the full potential of these cannabinoids, our products integrate these compounds with the intention of offering a natural wellness experience. Our proprietary blend focuses on harnessing the qualities of specific cannabinoids along with herbal additives, aiming to provide a comforting and harmonious balance for your well-being.
The historical use of cannabinoids spans centuries, with references dating back to ancient civilizations who recognized the value of natural compounds. Our approach is inspired by this long-standing appreciation, coupled with a modern understanding of plant-based elements.
We closely follow the evolving landscape of cannabinoid research. For instance, studies like a 2020 investigation into peripheral neuropathy and topical applications provide intriguing insights into the world of plant-based compounds. However, it’s important to note that our products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. We believe in offering a naturally inspired option for those seeking to incorporate the qualities of hemp-derived cannabinoids into their daily wellness routine.
ENTOURAGE EFFECT
The term Entourage Effect refers to the synergistic relationship the plant’s compounds have with each other. In other words, when all of the plant-based ingredients work in harmony, the result produces a greater therapeutic effect than either would alone. Botanicals, such as essential oils, herbs, and spices, have been used for centuries for pain relief and complement one another when blended together.
