Turpentine as Medicine?: The Medicinal Healing Benefits of Terpenic Oil

The father of medicine, Hippocrates, was an advocate of turpentine as a medicinal cure-all. Turpentine is the sap (distilled resin) derived from the Pine and Balsam fir trees, among others. The active chemical substance in turpentine is pinene, a powerful terpene. Turpentine was used as a common and effective medicinal remedy from Hippocrates (c450-c377 BC) up until the turn of the twentieth century.
