松節油 - 用途、副作用等

Overview

Turpentine is made from the resin of certain pine trees. Some breast rubs contain turpentine, such as Vicks VapoRub. When it is included in these products, it is used in very small amounts as a flavoring.

Some people use turpentine to treat gastrointestinal infections, autism, and different types of pain, but there is no good scientific evidence to support any use. Turpentine may also be unsafe.

In food and beverages, distilled turpentine is used as a flavoring ingredient.
