In short, Terpenes are essential oils that enhance the medicinal effects of CDB oils and they also have numerous medical benefits of their own. Terpenes are responsible for the unique effects of each strain of cannabis.

Terpenes (and terpenoids) are aromatic organic compounds which are found in many plants plus even some insects. Plants developed terpenes to ward off herbivores that might eat them and to attract helpful predators and pollinators. Cannabis is naturally rich in terpenes. In fact, cannabis flower gets its dank smell from being rich in terpenes.
