What Is Phytoncide
It is a compound Greek word for ‘plant ‘ (phyton) and ‘kill’ (caedo) that it is a name for all sterilization substances from the plants. Phytoncide is an organic active volatile substance with antiseptic properties (natural antibiotic) that all trees and plants produce and radiates into the air. Phytoncide inhibits and prevents the growth and development of harmful micro-organisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi).
Hinoki Cypress
Phytoncides come from all plants. But those from conifer trees like pine and especially chamaecyparis obtusa (Hinoki Cypress) are in particular valuable. Hinoki Cypress are very slow growing trees that mainly are found in limited areas in Korea and Japan. Forest areas with Hinoki Cypress trees release the highest levels and qualities of phytoncide in the world.
