The medicinal benefits of turpentine have been used as a natural remedy for a variety of health problems for generations by many. Although ingesting what’s used as a paint thinner may sound incredibly questionable, it actually is an effective medicine.
Turpentine is actually made by distilling pine resin from the mighty pine tree, while many turpentine brands are made from pine resin (I use Pure Gum Spirits Humco Brand) some are actually petroleum based and you want to avoid those. It is wise to consult your doctor before you start turpentine treatments.
Use Turpentine medicinally to treat:
Bacteria Infections
Bacteria such as shigella can be eliminated with internal use of turpentine. Start with a small amount 2 drops and work your way up to around 20 drops a day.
Parasites
Turpentine is an old remedy to rid the body of parasites such as pinworms. The most common way to take it is to put a few drops on a sugar cube to help expel parasites from the body.
Fungus and Candida
Turpentine is sometimes used in anti-candida protocols, candida is a build up of yeast inside the body and can be aided with a few drops of turpentine a day! Nail fungus can also be killed when turpentine is applied topically in the area of infection.

Head Lice
Turpentine fumes can be used to suffocate lice! As resistance to over the counter medicine grows the prescriptions for lice become increasingly dangerous because the treatments more often than not have to be repeated.
Turpentine can be mixed with coconut oil as a safer and effective alternative. Use no more than 1 part turpentine to 10 parts of coconut oil (or olive oil or mayonnaise.) Carefully massage into the scalp and spread the oil down over the hair. Cover with plastic wrap and then a towel for an hour. Remove towel and wrap. Wash oils out of hair. Repeat this process in one week, using a nit comb to remove any leftover nits in the meanwhile.
Arthritis
Turpentine can be massaged into pained joints to aid arthritis, Use 1 part turpentine and 3 parts castor oil, olive oil, or coconut oil. Do not use this oil on sensitive skin, broken skin or mucous membranes.
Cold and Flu Viruses
There are a variety of ways to use turpentine to treat cold and flu viruses.
- Sore Throat – Swab the back of the throat with turpentine.
- Sinuses – Mix together 5 drops turpentine to 1 tablespoon olive oil. Drop several drops into each nostril to deliver turpentine to the nasal passages to relieve congestion and infection.
- Cough – Use the same mixture as for sinuses and massage into the back and/or chest to relieve a cough or take 1-3 drops of turpentine on a sugar cube and take internally instead.
- Inhalation – For cold viruses simply inhale the vapors of turpentine. This delivers the turpentine vapors into the lungs, throat and nasal passages.

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
Turpentine is sometimes used to treat bladder infections. When treating a UTI add 1/4 teaspoon turpentine to a spoonful of sugar and take once.
Turpentine is a powerful medicine when used properly, when using turpentine always start with small doses monitor your reaction to it and work your way up to a larger amount. I personally started with 2 drops two times a day and am working my way up to 20 drops two times a day as instructed by my doctor. It is also recommended that turpentine treatment be used for no longer than 6 weeks.
I have hep c. is turpentine hard on the liver?
my understanding is it cleanses the liver. cleanses whole body. sounds like you could benefit from it. I started with 1 ml cause I’m sensitive. make sure you are having bowel movement at least 3 times a day. if you aren’t, you will feel toxin effect, when pathogens die, they release a nasty toxin into body and that would be considered a “healing crisis) I use fiber to reach this goal. if I don’t have 3 movements, a plain water enema will give relief. research as everyones needs are different. I feel so much better since I started turpentine! I… Read more »
Yes, your Liver will be cleansed of parasites and fungus like rest of your body when using Pine tree turpentine. This will improve your immune system greatly since it will no longer have to process parasite toxins like acetaldehyde from candida fungus, etc. You should see your energy level get much higher in a few days. It also melts the biofilm, which is mucous that microbes created in your intestines, amazingly well as you get to higher doses. Your toilet should show great results. * * Be sure NOT to use the Petroleum based turpentine from hardware stores. The type… Read more »
Edit for above…
some calculators say 1 tsp =98 drops. Others say 100 drops.
I eat allot of black garlic. How much of that is needed to be enough each day???
How can we tell if we have those? I know about the spit test for candida.
The best cure for hep c is aloe vera leaf. I’m not sure where you live, but we can buy aloe vera leaf in supermarkets, asian markets for $1.49. You cut the outer shell of the leaf to expose the inner gel. Scrape the gel with a spoon and eat it. Do this everyday for over a month. I have been doing it for years. It will not harm your body. It’s very healing for your whole body, but it will cure hep c also.
Read Dr. Daniels free report Candida Cleanser to learn everything about turpentine. Get 100% pure gum spirits only , the other kind will make you very sick. Start with 1/4 teaspoon over a teaspoon of sugar, work up a teaspoon over a tablespoon of sugar. This is very strong medicine, do your research before starting a turpentine cleanse.
Listen to what Bill says above. You should prepare yourself before you take the turpentine with a particular diet, then you make sure you have a BM at least 4 times a day, THEN you take the turpentine. If you don’t prepare, your body will not like it. Your body needs that clean colon as an avenue of escape for the parasites. You want to take the turp with sugar — the sugar is bait to lure the parasites into your very clean colon and they exit the body that way. And your bottle has to say “pure gum spirits”.… Read more »
I’ve been taking 1/4 tsp of Georgia Pine Gum Spirits of Turpentine every 2-4 days with beer or a margarita; during the first two weeks, when I noticed a negative effect (IDK, just not quite right…I think ‘woozy’ is the word that I am looking for) I would just eat a few donuts and would feel better soon after; whether it is the oil, sugar, or just food moving things along, IDK. It’s like food: if you look at food and want to eat it then you’re hungry and if you don’t have the desire then you pass; after the… Read more »
I made a salve from recipe I found on the web. Great for seaonal itch. My neighbor who I gave some
to swears it wards off skin cancers he has had in the past. I also put it on bruises, skin irritations.A fourth teaspoon will tame a bladder for six months.I use Diamind G Forest products.
Are you saying to take 4 teaspoons for a urinary tract infection?
What about turpentine for scabies?
Do you have experience with that?
Yellow powdered sulfer you can buy on Amazon.. mix with Vaseline and spread on body.. do twice a day until they die
For all parasites
Tea tree oil works for scabies, I’m not sure about turpentine though. Mix it with a carrier oil, olive oil, coconut oil.
Benzyl Benzoate… get it on eBay…1 part BB to 3 parts coconut oil
I despise it w/sugar & prefer water
Taking sugar with turpentine is feeding the very same pathogens you are trying to get rid of, so it makes no sense. The turpentine will make its way through your system killing whatever without the need for sugar. When it comes into contact with any pathogen it kills it, so it will not be able to feed on sugar or you as it’s already dead. I would however mix it with coconut oil as this has antiparasitic action as well. For those suffering from other disorders like Ray below with hep c look into CDS, this is made by using… Read more »
