Turpentine as Medicine? The Medicinal Healing Benefits of Terpenic Oil Paperback – November 29, 2014

Very informative and eye-opening! Before reading about this book, I had watched Tony Pantalleresco's excellent youtube videos about how and why TREE GUM SPIRITS (aka NATURAL turpentine) has always been historically used as a natural remedy against many different kinds of ailments. Well, all the many good things that Tony shows in his video, are but brief and his videos are excellent. BUT BOOKS LIKE THIS fill in all the other data and methods and HISTORY and traditions of usage that Tony did not have time to get into in his otherwise somewhat short videos. This book is a must buy if you agree with Tony Pantalleresco and other natural healers like him, and if you are plagued with various ailments that you would rather or prefer to heal naturally. It is short and sweet but VERY informative and VERY eye opening!

For the price, it is not worth it. The title should read, a definition of medical turpentine. I might as well throw it in the trash and get a dictionary definition. There are small short explanations, if you can call them. There is no discussion of the difference between pure gum spirits and paint thinner. I'd give it a double minus. Repetitive with so few words. What is there to like? Nothing!

This is a pretty informative book, however, I would have like to see some of the remedies. Short and sweet.

It's a very short book that I got through in minutes. I bought the digital version. If you are looking for a how to book, this isn't it. With this book you will learn a lot provided you know how to read between the lines. For legal and medical reasons the author can not go into great detail, that's why you have to read between the lines. It's not hard to figure out. So many bad or less than favorable reviews, so sad folks didn't read between the lines.

Will still need to research further if one plans to self medicate on this newly rediscovered substance. I was hoping to read why it's ingested with sugar or honey.

Does not live up to the title. I expected more information on the medicinal uses of turpentine. There is information on the subject here and there in the book but mostly it is about the history manufacture and types of turpentine. The book is thinner than I expected. The book is in fine new condition so I gave it 3 stars.

The title is "Turpentine as Medicine" However in it's short 28 pages it conveys virtually nothing on turpentine's medicinal usage or uses. It's a shallow, generic, uninformed, cut and paste of information from the internet as best I can tell. You'll find no mixtures, remedies, case studies or anecdotal evidence on turpentine's medicinal uses. Some simpleton looking to make a buck of of an afternoons work creating this document. Save your money.

The title of the book is misleading as it doesn't cover any of the medicinal healing benefits of turpentine. Other than stating it does in about 5-6 sentences max, nothing else is written about its uses.If your goal is to learn HOW to use turpentine medicinally, this book has no information and will not be of any use to you.
