I'm not persuaded that cineol is very helpful, given the lack of
success I've had with eucs and the high cineol EO's I've tried so far.

But terpineol by itself is outstanding ... and Tea Tree with it's 40%
terpineol is still the knockout of the lot for nuking up henna. Euc
has high cineol and low terpineol, and Tea Tree outdoes euc to a
fare-thee-well. So, I would conclude that cineol is not the
ticket..... and terpineol is.

When we have the comparisons next week .... then we can backtrack and
see which components occur most frequently in the best hits.

I bet a nickle on terpineol....
