Description
Turpentine Essential Oil
Turpentine Essential Oil is a very affordable alternative to Frankincense Essential Oil. This is because it delivers some of the key benefits of Frankincense Essential Oil.
These include lung and respiratory support, energetically preventing infection, and energetically helping to mitigate infection.
Our lungs are vulnerable, on a metaphysical / energetic basis, when we are dealing with heartbreak and grief. Put another way, our lungs are where heartbreak and grief reside energetically.
If we are struggling to process heartbreak and grief, then diffusing Turpentine Essential Oil or Frankincense Essential Oil, will help to energetically protect us from developing respiratory issues.
Both Turpentine Essential Oil and Frankincense Essential Oil are in the monoterpene chemical fmily.

Following the link above will display all of the Frankincense Essential Oil options available, alongside the option of buying Frankincense in its pre-distilled form.
Frankincense Essential Oils are made from resins. However, some of the constituents in the resin are lost in the distillation process. This is why Wild As The Wind offer a Frankincense Resin, that can be chewed like gum.

Turpentine Resin Essential Oil
Turpentine Essential Oil is known as Turpentine Resin Essential Oil, as it is distilled from the resin of a number of trees in the Pine family.
Other Pine oils are differentiated from Turpentine Resin Essential Oil by the fact they are distilled from different parts of Pine trees. Sometimes the berries are used, as with Juniper Berry Essential Oil, or the leaves / needles, as in the case of Juniper Needle Essential Oil and Wild Crafted Organic Juniper Essential Oil.
There are a couple of other aromatherapy oils obtained from the leaves, or needles, of pine trees, including Fir Needle Essential Oil and Pine Essential Oil. This also includes the Organic Pine Essential Oil and the Wild crafted Organic Pine Essential Oil.
Other coniferous aromatherapy oils include:
- Blue Cypress Essential Oil
- Cypress Essential Oil
- Cypress Leaf Essential Oil
- Organic Cypress Essential Oil
- Black Spruce Essential Oil
- Canada Balsam Essential Oil
Some of the lesser known aromatherapy oils that are similar ot , include:
Cade Essential Oil – a derivative of Juniper
Turpentine Resin Essential Oil Health benefits
There are very few scientific or medical papers to be found that reveal the benefits of Turpentine Resin Essential Oil.
This overview statement published in Science Direct provides clues as to how the personal and health benefits of Turpentine Essential Oil are generally obfuscated.
Turpentine is a distillate from pine trees and is commonly used as a solvent for paints, varnishes, pigments, oils, resins, waxes, and polishes.
However, the following excerpt is from the meta description of a research paper published on Researchgate. Nevertheless, the actual paper seems to have been heavily edited, with only a Pdf image remaining, and a list of citations.
It looks as though they may have forgotten to edit the information in the meta description field, however:
Among these, pine turpentine oil has strong antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic, antiviral, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory activities…1
Turpentine Essential Oil health benefits are also thought to include: Antiseptic + detoxification agent + supportive of genito-urinary systems + stimulant, (circulation) + tonic + warming.
The Sad Tale Of Turpentine
I wrote an article about Turpentine Essential Oil over a year before Wild As The Wind started carrying it. This is because it is such an important oil, it was imperative to alert people of its benefits, even though it would effectively send prospective customers elsewhere.
However, at that point, Wild As The Wind hadn’t found a Turpentine Essential Oil of sufficient quality, and, until one was obtained, Wild As The Wind was not going to be offering it.
The article, The Sad Tale Of Turpentine, has now, thankfully, been updated with Wild As The Wind links to this page.
It is important to read The Sad Tale Of Turpentine, as it may provide context for the following medical statement:
Turpentine oil is made from the resin of certain pine trees. Turpentine oil is included in some chest rubs, such as Vicks VapoRub. When it is included in these products, it is used in very small amounts as a fragrance.2
Cautions & Contraindications
According to certain scientific papers, Turpentine Essential Oil should not be ingested.
Toxic when oxidised: damaged by light, heat or air
It is important to keep oils in the Pine family and those obtained from resins, that are high in terpenes, in a cool, dark place, with the lid firmly closed, when not in use.
Always dilute aromatherapy oils before topical application. Please consult How To Use Essential Oils for more information on how to use aromatherapy oils, and how to blend them.
