What Is Terpene Deficiency?
The average American spends roughly 90% of their life indoors. For most of human history, that would have been unrecognizable. Our ancestors moved through forests, meadows, and open air — constantly breathing in thousands of aromatic plant compounds called terpenes.
Terpenes are the molecules behind the scent of a pine forest, fresh lavender, or an orange peel. They are not merely pleasant — they are biologically active compounds that humans evolved alongside for millennia. The emerging concept of Terpene Deficiency suggests that our modern, indoor lives may be depriving us of something our bodies genuinely expect.
