Ocimene is an acyclic monoterpene bearing a sweet, woodsy, tropical, and intensely botanical scent found naturally in orchids, mint, mangoes, and tarragon. Clinically, ocimene acts as a powerful natural decongestant and bronchodilator. Users frequently report that ocimene-heavy strains initially trigger a strong, productive coughing response, followed by a profound clearing of the respiratory pathways.
