Unlock the Secret Healing Power of Turpentine Oil

Have you heard about Turpentine oil? It is made from the resin of certain pine trees. It has a long history in healing and arts. In ancient Greece, Hippocrates, people used turpentine oil to treat lung diseases and gallstones. Turpentine is also a flammable substance and a solvent that has been used for thinning oil-based paints in the past. In the last century, the industry replaced natural turpentine with the cheaper chemically produced mineral turpentine. It is very different chemically. Mineral turpentine, also called white spirit, mineral spirits, or petroleum spirits, is a petroleum-derived clear liquid used in painting. Mineral turpentine is a hazardous substance.

Natural turpentine comes from the pine tree and is made up primarily of two volatile terpenes: alpha-(around 65%) and beta-(around 25%) pinenes. Terpenes are largely found in essential oils of many types of medicinal plants and flowers. They give the unique smell of aromatic plants, such as clove, anise, oregano, eucalyptus, rosemary, mint, and citrus fruits. There are about 140 known terpenes found in cannabis. Terpenes play an important role by protecting plants from bacteria and fungus, insects, and other environmental stresses. Thus, they provide strong anti-microbial properties. α-pinenes fight against pathogenic bacteria and all kinds of fungi, they are also inhibitors in breast cancer. β-pinenes also show antifungal properties, especially on candida species, they also have an antiseptic effect on oral bacterial flora. Both are effective to eliminate candida.

Terpenes play an important role by providing the plant with natural protection from bacteria and fungus, insects, and other environmental stresses. Hence, their strong anti-microbial properties. They also possess anti-inflammatory and anesthetic properties. They can easily cross the blood-brain barrier because they are small molecules, they are also easily absorbed into the bloodstream through the nose and the intestinal tract. Terpenes are also antioxidants and function as a relaxant on the smooth muscles of the intestines.
