It isn't glue or some nasty solvent, so I am enjoying my little bottle of the terpene linalool

Considering a Potential Role of Linalool as a Mood Stabilizer for Bipolar Disorder​


I think I have this disorder, so anything that might have a positive treatment available OTC is of great interest.

A class of chemicals that can be obtained from inexpensive industrial sources is the terpenes. of which linalool in one. Linaool also moderates anxiety when inhales. And it smells like a quality perfume.

I take a number of drags from my 5ml bottle. If you take a big drag, the odor will stay within your nose for a few minutes.

Linalool is a mild liquid widely used in perfumes. I rate its long-term inhalation cot to be minimal.

Let me know if it makes you sleepy. (I had been just about to PM you since you'd been away so long, and then I saw your avatar pop up yesterday)

Hi Demon

Broke my right shoulder about a month ago so have not been active.

Linalool has not made me sleepy but I enjoy sniffing it. Five ml bottles on Amazon.

Smells like camphor, floral + citrus.

Linalool is also in many varieties of Cannabis, one of the volatile products that appear to contribute to its effects. You can also use it in inhalers.

Well that's not fun - breaking a shoulder. Healing well?

Linalool is (at least some of) what's relaxing in lavender (and weed), so I was hoping the little bottle made you sleepy.

Do you think its helping for bipolar?

It has made me sleepy. No longer wearing sling.
 
Have to wonderif that chemical is beneficial to brain cells? Especially OTC?
 
That's what I'm looking for - sleepy! I'm glad you're arm is getting better.
After several tries, sniffing a very little linalool knocks me out for over an hour.

To get technical about this, linalool is not metabolized by the usual oxidation process because it is a tertiary alcohol. So it lasts for a long time & you feel woozy when you are not asleep. Be careful operating a car or other machinery while on it.

Sounds perfect before bed! Mind sharing a link? I find terpenes on amazon, but not sure which are good. The Elevations relaxation four pack looks interesting.

FOGG Isolates Linalool 5 ml
 
Ill…. Wait til doctors start prescribing this…..
 
That might mean something if linalool was poisonous.
I'm just cautioning people from believing "natural" means "safe."
 
I understand. Do you smoke weed? Because it also occurs naturally in that, as well as flowers....
Actually i dont smoke weed. Im not making a naturalistic argument.

I was having some computer issues for a bit.

Of course natural doesn't always mean safe, but I've never heard of greenhouse workers where lavender is grown having mental issues from the linalool they're smelling every day. :)

Linalool appears to be very safe. I'm not trying to convince you to use it, I just don't think there appears to be any reason not to.

Thats fine. If it turns out to be safe after the proper trials, no arguments from me. I certainly understand computer issues.

A Dell update for some reason seemed to make it slow as molasses, but suddenly cleared up.

There is this, of course most of it is way over my head....
