Camphene is a minor terpene that can be found in turpentine, valerian, ginger oil and camphor oil. It has a musty doug fir and earth scent that sometimes gets mistaken for myrcene which is usually found in higher concentrations. Camphene historically was used in traditional medicine for treating bacterial and fungal infections and also for treating athletes foot, psoriasis and eczema. More recently Camphene has been found to have a wide array of potential health benefits; it has antioxidant and analgesic effects even when applied topically. It acts as an antioxidant on inflammatory lung disease and has even been shown to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
