Pure pharmaceutical grade turpentine oil can be applied to the skin for joint pain, muscle pain, nerve pain and toothaches.
Pure pharmaceutical grade turpentine oil is made from the resin of certain pine trees. It is used as medicine. Not to be confused with gum turpentine!
People sometimes breathe in (inhale) the vapours to reduce the chest congestion that goes along with some lung diseases
