Description
Additional information
Turpentine containing alpha-Pinene was traditionally used in folk medicine for centuries as an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory agent, and for relieving respiratory issues.
Alpha-Pinene acts as a natural insect repellent in coniferous forests, protecting trees from harmful insects and supporting the ecological balance of the forest ecosystem.
The characteristic forest scent often associated with relaxation and wellbeing is largely due to alpha-Pinene released into the air by pine trees and other conifers.
