The spécial Bol d’air®- Orésine® compound
The special Bol d’air®Orésine®compound is derived from an oleoresin of pine, Pinus
Pinaster (French and Portuguese forests only), and selected by Holiste®.
This turpentine essential oil chemotype does not contain delta-3-carene (an allergen).
Collection and production methods are designed to ensure that the qualities and
active ingredients remain unchanged. Only this terpene compound may be used in
the Bol d’air® appliance.
To ensure the correct application of the method, no other essential oil or product
must be used or added.
IMPORTANT: Results are dependent on the quality of the product. Each batch undergoes a
chromotographic analysis.
The colour of the product may vary from one batch to another, ranging from colourless to a pale
yellow, and it may have a rather potent odour.
1. Use
For the product to be effective, the compound must be changed completely every three to
four weeks, even if the appliance has not been used.
If the appliance will not been used for a long period of time, the bubbling bottle should be
