Siberian Fir Phytoncide Fraction: A Natural Powerhouse for Health

Phytoncides, volatile organic compounds produced by plants, possess remarkable antimicrobial properties, inhibiting the growth and development of bacteria and fungi. Throughout human evolution, we’ve thrived amidst the phytoncide-rich environment of the natural world. However, modern life, especially in urban settings, often limits our exposure to these beneficial compounds. This deficiency can weaken the immune system, increasing susceptibility to serious illnesses such as chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma, and tuberculosis.

Sufficient levels of phytoncides, along with other bioactive substances like aeroions, are vital for overall well-being, mood, energy levels, and robust health. Plants release phytoncides into the air and also contain them within their tissues. These substances act as a natural defense mechanism against harmful microorganisms, protecting both plants and animals, including humans.

As physiologically active compounds, phytoncides play a crucial role in human metabolism and immune stimulation. Their protective effects extend beyond microbial destruction to include the inhibition of microbial proliferation. Siberian Fir phytoncide fraction exhibits potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory actions. It enhances phagocytic activity (the ability of immune cells to engulf and destroy pathogens) in leukocytes and cells of the reticuloendothelial system, and boosts cholinesterase activity. Its tannins penetrate tissues more deeply and exert longer-lasting effects. It effectively eliminates diphtheria and pertussis bacilli, staphylococci, and various other bacteria.

Siberian Fir phytoncides not only exhibit antibiotic properties but also promote tissue regeneration (“biotic” effect), bolstering the body’s natural healing processes. They disrupt the enzymes of microbial cells, thereby interfering with their metabolic processes. The active components include glucosides, essential oils, acids, aldehydes, ketones, and alcohols.

Inhalations of Siberian Fir phytoncide fraction are highly effective in treating acute and chronic bronchitis, chronic pneumonia, pulmonary tuberculosis, and other respiratory conditions. These phytoncides stimulate the nervous, cardiovascular, and other bodily systems, particularly during physical exertion, even at relatively low concentrations. They also positively impact cerebral blood flow, liver function, skin bactericidal activity, and the overall immune system. In cases of influenza and acute respiratory infections, aerosolizing the phytoncide fraction proves beneficial.

Siberian Fir phytoncide fraction effectively reduces internal inflammation and shows promise as a complementary therapy in cancer treatment by inhibiting tumor growth and development. This unique product, derived from Siberian Fir, boasts a high concentration of bioactive compounds, offering antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, making it a valuable asset for maintaining optimal health and well-being.
