D-Limonene Experiences

[jet9]

Here are 2 studies:

This one says that limonele can inhibit serotonin and dopamine
Limonene inhibits methamphetamine-induced locomotor activity via regulation of 5-HT neuronal function and dopamine release. - PubMed - NCBI

This one says that anti anxiety properties might be related to GABA
Sub-chronic effects of s-limonene on brain neurotransmitter levels and behavior of rats. - PubMed - NCBI

I don't know how much I would take from this one...

In the second one, why go with the S isomer?

 

[Inaut]

I'm with you @Tarmander From what I have read, Limonene regulates dopamine and reduces serotonin. Methamphetamine isn't something i'd "supplement " to begin with so....Unless Peat said it was ok.??..

 

[LeeLemonoil]

Many terpenoids offer potentially wonderful health benefits. The research is still very basic but very promising.

They are closely related to steroids in a phylogenetic sense and are powerfully active due to their lipopholic nature. Peat has very much overlooked this class of substances in his work despite the fact that they are very „peaty“

@LeeLemonoil what other terpenoids/EO do you like/use?

:)

 

[LeeLemonoil]

Alpha-cedrene/juniperus virginia

Rosemary (high camphor /just like adamatine)

Bergamot with aromatase inhibitor bergapten

Vetiver, clary sage, atlas cedar, pine,
All topically, systemically or inhaled. Every application offers benefits.

Farnesol, Beta-Ionone, phytol.

Don’t get me started about terpenoids in mushrooms.

Spearmint! Heavenly scent and taste.

Lemonoil above all. I drink my wine with it.

+1 I'm going to change my handle to @OJOrangeOil as your counterpart

 

[LeeLemonoil]

An understandable decision

 

[Inaut]

I've always been attracted to rosemary and rosemary oil but stayed away from it due to non Peat sentiments (with regards to it's oils). I may behave to dust it off and delve back in...

 

[LeeLemonoil]

There’s really no non-Peatish aspect to rosemary oil, be it high in cineol or camphor (the main phenotypes, there are also milder species high in linalool, more like lavender actually).

 

[LeeLemonoil]

As said, rosemary oil from some species is very high in camphor which even peat speaks favourably of. By all means, delve !

 

[Inaut]

what do you think about thyme oil. last question I promise

 

[LeeLemonoil]

No problem questions, it’s the RPF.

Thyme oil is one I have due respect of. Thymol and carvacrol have their uses (as antibiotics not least) but are also very aggressive. Oregano oil seems a safer choice though it is not suitable to be used topically undiluted

 

[Inaut]

I had to delete this post as I read it over and was complete horse hockey. Won’t happen again.

 

[Tarmander]

What kind of benefits do you see from Lemon Oil?

 

[Inaut]

I completely forgot about this book I own...


The Practice Of Aromatherapy by Jean Valnet

 

[Sativa]

Terpènes and Essential oils are great! Multiple therapeutic effects spectrum...

Lemon Oil is Definitely Psychedelic!
(btw that forum covers all main essential oils via multiple ROA's - oral, transdermal etc)

Limonene has interesting pharmacological properties/mechanisms of action.

It also releases Oxytocin (trust/bonding hormone).

I have been combining e.oils & pure terpenes with natural vitamin E oil... drops applied on tongue... good feedback!

 

[akgrrrl]

Its so nice to read forum members fluent in polypropanoids,terpenes applications...didnt Dr. Jean Valnet discover the healing power of lavender oil on burns after a lab accident where he suffered badly and dowsed himself with it because it was handy?

Having a lot of libido and night emissions from this stuff. It is a subtle libido too, kind of sneaks up on your during the day. Been a bit trippy.

Does it feel like an androgenic based libido or possibly estrogen or some other cause? Just curious after seeing the studs that it inhibits 5-ar
