Terpenes[edit]
Terpenes and terpenoids of many kinds are found in a variety of medicinal plants,[74] and in resinous plants such as the conifers. They are strongly aromatic and serve to repel herbivores. Their scent makes them useful in essential oils, whether for perfumes such as rose and lavender, or for aromatherapy.[53][75][76] Some have medicinal uses: for example, thymol is an antiseptic and was once used as a vermifuge (anti-worm medicine).[77]
