What is Guaiol?
Guaiol ist ein Sesquiterpenalkohol und einer der wenigen Vertreter, die bei Raumtemperatur fest sind. In Cannabis tritt es selten und meist in kleinen Anteilen auf.
What the research shows — and what it does not
Guaiol ist humanmedizinisch praktisch nicht untersucht. Die vorhandenen Arbeiten stammen aus der Naturstoffchemie.
Context: Terpenes are aroma and fragrance compounds. The effect of a cannabis-based medicine is determined overwhelmingly by its cannabinoids, not by its terpene profile. Claims about therapeutic effects of individual terpenes rest almost entirely on cell and animal models and cannot be transferred to use in humans.
Frequency counted across 3923 distinct products in our pharmacy network's catalogue, as of 2026-09-02. The catalogue lists terpenes without quantities — the figure means "is listed", not "is the dominant terpene".
