“…Cannabis flavonoids play a crucial role in how you perceive the plant with your senses due to the pigment and flavor they provide, but they also deliver therapeutic benefits.
Flavonoids, working with cannabinoids and terpenes, interact with chemical receptors through your body’s endocannabinoid system. And just like those other two compounds, flavonoids can act as anti-inflammatories, antioxidants, and antibacterials while helping stave off certain diseases.
Flavonoids are vital ingredients in the “entourage effect,” which describes how the interaction of cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and other compounds complement each other with interacting with the endocannabinoid system in the body. Since every strain has a different combination of these compounds, you can think of the entourage effect as the reason why different strains produce different medicinal and psychoactive effects. Different ratios of these plant-based compounds exist in each unique strain, which triggers different chemical cascades in the nervous system. This is why some strains are suitable for controlling pain, while others are better at producing an uplifting effect…”
