Da migliaia di anni gli estratti di piante sono usati come essenze, spezie e profumi anche a scopo curativo. Gli estratti contengono terpeni, che costituiscono il più vasto insieme conosciuto di metaboliti secondari delle piante. Ai terpeni vengono riconosciute funzioni ecologiche che incidono sulla sopravvivenza delle piante e dell'uomo: per esempio, agiscono da deterrenti per un gran numero di insetti e di mammiferi e contribuiscono a mantenere pulita e respirabile l'aria del nostro pianeta. Questo manuale è frutto dell'esperienza dell'autore, il quale ha studiato un gruppo di terpeni innocui e particolarmente interessanti per la loro azione sanificante ambientale e per le prospettive di impiego nelle affezioni del sistema respiratorio e nervoso.
