The historical significance of this fragrant evergreen dates back hundreds of years, and not just as a feature for celebrating the Christmas tradition. Pine trees and the needles they produce are just as much a prickly, earthy source of natural medicine as they are redolent of a brisk walk in a mountainous forest. Science now suggests that their extracts might also be an effective weapon in the fight against cancer.
When French explorer Jacques Cartier first arrived by ship in 1535 to what is now known as Quebec, Canada, he and his men learned very quickly about the healing power of pine tree needles. Stricken by scurvy, Cartier and his men were taught by natives of the land that steeping pine tree needles and bark into a tea cured this debilitating disease, which is now recognized as being caused by vitamin C deficiency.
Research conducted several hundred years later uncovered the presence of other healing nutrients in pine needles (which is present in pine tree oil) such as flavonoids, procyanidins, and proanthocyanidins, which native people groups have been utilizing for centuries (without actually knowing these nutrients’ names) to treat conditions such as poor circulation, joint pain, and vision problems.
Turpentine Comes from Pine Trees and it Targets Cancer
Today, science is looking at how pine tree oil might be useful in preventing and treating cancer. One paper published in the journal Prostate back in 2008 found that oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes, or OPCs, taken from maritime pine bark target a prostate cancer cell line known as LNCaP. Not only did the LNCaP cells cease to spread as a result of the pine, but they also ended up dying.
Another study published several years prior in the journal Nutrition and Cancer found that pine needles of the Pinus densiflora variety inhibit many of the processes by which cancer forms in the body. This same pine variety was also found to directly block the growth of a multiple cancer cell lines, including MCF-7, SNU-638, and HL-60.
Here’s what the authors of this study had to say about their findings, which they declared show that pine exhibits a strong antioxidant, antimutagenic, and antiproliferative effect on cancer cells:
“In in vivo anti-tumor studies, freeze-dried pine needle powder supplements (5%, wt/wt) diet was fed to mice inoculated with Sarcoma-180 cells or rats treated with mammary carcinogen, 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA, 50 mg/kg body weight). Tumorigenesis was suppressed by pine needle supplementation in the two model systems.”
The oil of terebinthine pine, also known as “terebinthe,” is another recognized anti-cancer elixir. It’s a stimulant both of the prostate gland and the uterus, and it also helps mitigate adrenal fatigue and balance hormone production. And if the name sounds similar to turpentine, that’s because it is: turpentine pine resin is among the most regarded anti-cancer remedies in ancient folklore, demonstrating benefits in cancers of the liver, breast, spleen, rectum, tongue, and more.

I would appreciate knowing “how to” use it.
three drops in a spoon full of sugar is a normal dose for a adult human. any more than this will make you sick. It is good to deworm a human. It is hard on the Kidney so one dose every three days would be okay. It the way the old timers did it. I know this because of my pawpaw. He was born in 1889 and was raised in Mountain folks ways. He always had Pine Tree Oil (Turpentine) in the medicine cabinet. Mountain folks always dewormed them selves with this as most of them farmed hogs. I know this, I never heard of Cancer before until the Mountain folk were forced to move into town where there was electric. The government said it was for the health of the children that they had running water and electric. We did have running water but you had to pump it out of the well. people used to remember everything but not sense they were forced into the city. There mind and body has changed.
Please forgive, Larry, but it’s absolutely untrue that more than a couple drops of turpentine will kill you. Please do your research. Dr. Jennifer Daniels is a great resource. There are people living on their own, in their 90’s who are able to do so as result of taking 1/2 tsp of turpentine daily, throughout their lives. I was able to shrink a tumor in my neck using turpentine and now the doctor wants to know how I did it :).
Tess, I realize I am commenting on a post you made over two years ago, but will you please explain exactly how you shrunk the tumor in your neck with Turpentine? Please tell the dose you used, and did you put it on white sugar? How many doses did you take weekly? How long before you saw the tumor shrink? I was hesitant to use the sugar with cancer, however now I am wondering if the sugar is a Trojan horse to bring the Turpentine into the cancer cells in order to attack it. Thank you in advance for your help!
I take a teaspoon daily then take a break every other month. Balances the stomach flora which causes healing of your weakest link mine being rheumatoid arthritis. I was healed after 3 months. Big pharma wants to keep this hidden gem.
Thanks for sharing, Dee! Could be another added benefit of using pine tree oil. 🙂
I have have suffered with parasites < giardiasis being one of them. Im curious as to which turpentine to take, the oil or the spirits?
could someone please help
How to use the oil? Im sure turpentine should be diluted, but how much??
Salam , please kindly give some info about the dosage and use of the oil . Thanks

Hi..I am Farma I live in Indonesia.where can I buy pine tree oil.?
I found out about the multiple potential benefits of turpentine recently, and decided to try it for myself. After researching a little online, I bought a small can of “pure gum spirits” turpentine at the hardware store. I mixed one teaspoon of it with three tablespoons of organic extra virgin olive oil, four tablespoons of organic apple cider vinegar (unfiltered), and filled the rest of the 16 ounce glass with top quality filtered water. The mixture required stirring for a few seconds, after which I drank it all down. I had read that it would facilitate the elimination of parasites of all sorts, including candida, which can cause or exacerbate joint pain, and other inflammatory symptoms. My online source encouraged the use of detoxing, especially of the bile ducts, in order to flush the dead parasites, and their toxins, but I did not do this at first. As a consequence, my knee, which was the primary site of the inflammation, flared up for two days, after which it felt very much better. Now I make sure to take my liver/gall bladder cleanse along with the cocktail, and it gives me no more problems.
I have heard that it can also be used for a safe treatment for existing cancers, but have no personal experience with this application, so cannot comment further.
If one is taking it for candida, the apple cider vinegar should be omitted. Vinegar is fermented and it is never a bad idea to avoid any fermented foods.
I take one teaspoon with two teaspoons of some other oil as a carrier; like coconut, olive or grape seed. Some people just mix it with honey or saturate some sugar cubes. Then follow with a large glass of pure water. I’ve had no adverse effects and many positive ones, which I’m still evaluating.
Where can I order this Pine tree Oil, please, I am in Mexico I would like to pay, if necesary, shipment to Queretaro Mexico.
Amazon, Diamond Forest, I believe.
Check out one of the pure brands so essential oils.
That should be of essential oils. The good ones include the botanical name with their lngredients
You know, I really enjoy these articles, however, I find it very frustrating that there is never any info as to how to use any of the cancer fighting supplements. Therefore, the articles are just that, entertainment. The carrot of hope held in front of the desperate individual in need of another alternative.
I gotta agree with you on that, AJ.
I’ve found if everything is handed to u most don’t take it serious so doing your own research helps people understand the process better!! U can google anything!!
I’ve had people sit & play their stupid games but ask me to look up something that mite help there health, 🙁
I don’t think they are allowed to tell you how to use it in the article because it isn’t FDA approved and there aren’t many studies that support most of the oils. (Especially if they tell you to ingest it) FB can pull the site and they can also get in trouble. I know that a lot of the essential oil sites were taken down for a while for making recommendations.
You can research it and find things. You can also usually find recommendations in the comments by people that are using it. You can get some great recommendations and testimonials.
There is youtube, there is doctor google, there are facebook groups that talk about it. Do you want him to come to your home for free and hand feed it to you. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. Its pure gum turpentine made by diamond and you can buy it on Amazon. Then watch a youtube video so you’ll know how to use it. Jeemenee Christ. The man is giving you free information and you complain. Do some foot work
Yes!!! Thank you. I get so tired of everyone wanting to be spoonfed.
Because in America, if they tell you how to use it, they will be charged with practicing medicine without a license.
Oil from the tree should be 100 percent pure
You could take half a teaspoon to start with in 3 teaspoons of honey. I have some chock bickys with that and over days lissening to your body you can take as much as 1 teaspoon full.
It works fast and heals quickly inside and out
All this and more will be in my book to come out spring 2020
Rob Andrews.
Is the book still on track for Spring 2020?
Go to vitalitycapsules.com and look up Candida cleaner Jennifer Daniels explains it there turpentine back in the day was used to cure anything from kidney failure to pneumonia. it’s a blessing that God gave us natural cures there rite In front of us!
My father suffered from severe ecxema as a child at times he was covered with it from head to toe. My grandfather .one day took turpentine and rubbed him down with it, wrapped him in a blanket, and let him sweat it out overnight. Next day the redness was gone and it started
drying up. After that he only had an occasional small outbreak and eventually outgrew it completely.
For candida the proper method is to take one teaspoon of turpentine and pour it over 3 sugar cubes. Take the sugar cubes with water.
Hi everyone, yes its has to be Pure Gum Spirits of Turpentine Diamond G is one of the best and can be found on Amazon. Then follow the Dr Daniels Protocol just google dr daniels turpentine and download her free PDF The Candida Cleaner Protocol. Very helpful for me. I took it with 3 sugar cubes, also Sunfruit Dan on you tube gives some great information on turpentine, he too follows Dr Daniels Protocol. Hope this helps

Hello, if it’s interesting write please order from Russia
I mix it 50/50 with caster oil n put it in a 00 size capsual . I pop 10 and it’s a wonderful detox.
Best Pure Gum spirits of Georgia Turpentine. Distilled 3 times. The Gold standard!
Look up taxanes, while semi synthetic and problematic medical science has already played chemistry magic with the yew conifer so I don’t doubt at all that there are natural compounds in pine oil thst fight cancer.
I for all time emailed this web site post page
to all my contacts, since if like to read it afterward my contacts

Why only consume the pine oil, why not the sap too? How does it compare to fir oil and sap?
I constantly have an itch anus and threadworms when I was a teenager.
I have terminal breast and bone marrow cancer. I also have Primary Biliary Cholitis.
I am nervous about pine oil as I have never heard of.
Kind regards,
