TERPENE OF THE MONTH: Guaiol can be found in a variety of plants, mainly cypress pine and guaiacum. Fun Fact: unlike traditional terpenes that are oil based, guaiol is a#sesquiterpenoid alcohol. 🌿 

Although this #terpene is known for its pungent scent of #pine, similar to that of#pinene - it is much more than just an aroma. It has become the subject of multiple research studies that could make a big impact on the medical world, and to your #health! 🙌

For many centuries it has been used to help combat everything from #arthritis to a common cough. In recent studies it has shown to have unique #antimicrobial properties that can assist with a variety of bacterial, fungal, and inflammatory issues. 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 

#Guaiol is our TOTM for December. Stay tuned for next month; until then - Enjoy! 🎉
