Research Insights
The original booklet refers to studies suggesting that phytoncides released by pine trees may help increase the activity of Natural Killer Cells (NK Cells), which play an important role in immune defense.
It also suggests that exposure to these natural forest compounds may help reduce stress.
These findings concern forest environments and phytoncide exposure; they do not establish that using Pine Needle essential oil produces identical effects.
