Study finds camphene–limonene–eucalyptol blend boosts antifungal potency
The gist
A study found a camphene–d-limonene–eucalyptol blend cut minimum inhibitory concentrations to 12.5 µg/mL at two design points.
The plant-derived blend was up to 16-fold more potent than the best single compound.
How it unfolded
- 2024A double-blind trial found 15 mg of vaporized d-limonene significantly reduced self-reported anxious and paranoid states when given with 30 mg of THC.
- Oct 7, 2026The 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry went to Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai for showing how a chemical reaction can make one mirror image of a molecule; the article notes textbooks still get limonene wrong.
- Oct 25, 2026An article examined whether safety concerns about essential oil ingestion are overstated, noting limonene has been studied for protecting gastric mucosa and supporting mucus production in experimental models.
