- Scientific Approach and Biological Benefits
There is a current trend in health that involves activities in forests for well-being. As part of this "forest therapy", we are increasingly interested in the positive impact of certain molecules secreted in profusion by trees, such as terpenes. These come from a large and diverse class of organic compounds produced by a variety of plants, especially conifers and citrus fruits. Due to their high volatility, they are the scent principles of plants and can protect plants against harmful insects and microorganisms. For humans, the scientific community attributes significant health benefits to a number of terpenes. For example, vitamin A is a well-known compound from the terpene family.
- Main Biochemical Families
Our essential oils are rich in terpenes. They mainly contain monoterpenes but also sesquiterpenes, esters, ketones and terpene alcohols in appreciable quantities. Boreal essential oils are unique. Their profiles reveal a wide distribution of various compounds. This great complexity gives them multiple uses and potentiates the positive synergies between their constituents.
- Families and Benefits of Biochemicals
Monoterpenes are recognized for their beneficial effect on the respiratory tract. They are decongestants, expectorants, mucolytics and anti-infective. Essential oils rich in monoterpenes are ideal for winter ailments such as colds, flu, and respiratory infections. They are also excellent as air fresheners to kill germs in the environment. Monoterpenes also have interesting anti-inflammatory, analgesic and digestive actions. Some of them are excellent antioxidants. When it comes to general well-being, they uplift the mood and provide energy. Sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpenols are valuable compounds that are not common in essential oils. Sesquiterpenes have a wide variety of applications. They are known to regenerate the skin, to heal and to have a stimulating and analgesic effect. They are also recognized for their anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and antispasmodic properties. Sesquiterpenols, on the other hand, have analgesic and soothing effects. Most of them are anti-inflammatory. In addition, both families have interesting benefits for the skin. They also act on the venous and lymphatic circulation. Esters have excellent antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties. This explains their ability to reduce muscle and nervous spasms. In addition, they have an analgesic effect and reduce swelling. They have a relaxing effect on the mood. Ketones have good mucolytic and antimicrobial effects on the lower respiratory tract. They also have a regenerating power and a capacity for healing the skin and mucous membranes. In low doses, they stimulate the brain and body.
