If you cruise down this page, you'll find some excellent links posted
by the brilliant Niko Txilar (who's helped me on so much chemistry!
(I am not worthy, I am not worthy)) to info on terpines.

Terpineol, and terpinene are naturally occurring terpines, that plants
make. They're small molecules, found in many essential oils .....

There are 3 or 4 monoterpine hydrocarbons that look to me as if
they're the "magic bullet" for henna.

So far, the "mystic~ninny-boutique" sources of oils I've tried locally
have been less than wonderful. Too much adulteration, too little
accountability. I'm pleased with Wyndmere brand at the moment ....
and I put a link to cajeput on line that Zimra suggested on the
cajpage in the rabbit hole if you can't find any.
