KOM entries apply to turpentine of this species. This species was treated as aetheroleum, rather
intermixed under scotch pine (see below), by the Herbal PDR (PHR).
Activities (Longleaf Pine) — Antiseptic (2; KOM); Hemostat (f; FAD); Rubefacient (f; FAD).
Indications (Longleaf Pine) — Bleeding (f; FAD); Boil (f; PNC; resin); Bronchosis (2; KOM;
turpentine) (f; PNC; resin); Cold (2; PHR); Colic (f; FAD); Cough (2; PHR); Diarrhea (f; FAD);
Fever (2; PHR); Infection (2; PHR); Muscle Stiffness (f; PNC; terpentine); Neuralgia (2; KOM;
turpentine); Odontorrhagia (f; FAD); Pharyngosis (2; PHR); Rheumatism (2; FAD; KOM; PNC;
turpentine) (f; PNC; resin); Ringworm (f; PNC; resin); Sore (f; PNC); Stomatosis (2; PHR); Tumor
(f; FAD); Ulcer (f; PNC; resin).
Dosages (Longleaf Pine) — Commission E suggests several drops turpentine in hot water for
inhalation therapy (KOM). Otherwise for topical application only.
Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Longleaf Pine) — Commission E reports
contraindications for EO: whooping cough; adverse effects: local irritation, exacerbation of bron-
chospasms (AEH). Though approving pure turpentine for “Chronic disease of the bronchii with
heavy secretion” (which I translate to bronchosis), Commission E contraindicates for acute inflam-
mation of the respiratory tract. Inhaled turpentine may reduce bronchial secretion (KOM). Even
topical application to too much surface area may damage the CNS and kidneys (KOM). Turpentine
is a counterirritant and rubefacient. Though also taken internally, turpentine might best be relegated
to topical uses, if any.
