I am very cautious now about these miraculous trials. You don't really know where they are coming from, even when they say that doctors have tried it My GP will not pronounce herself on herbal remedy or vitamins as she says that there's no evidence in laboratory experiments.

Some things help, but I would be cautious about a strange name like you quote. I bet it's pretty expensive too!

I went to wikipedia to find your term. It's actually monoterpene. here's what they say about their use

"Uses

Several monoterpenes have antibacterial activity, such as linalool."

her what wikipedia says about the use of linalool:

Uses

Linalool is used as a scent in 60–80% of perfumed hygiene products and cleaning agents including soaps, detergents, shampoos, and lotions.[1]

It is also used as a chemical intermediate. One common downstream product of linalool is Vitamin E.

In addition, linalool is used by pest professionals as a flea, fruit fly and cockroach insecticide.

Linalool is used in some mosquito-repellent products, however the EPA notes that: "A preliminary screen of labels for products containing Linalool (as the sole active ingredient) indicates that efficacy data on file with the Agency may not support certain claims to repel mosquitos."[2]

Linalool gradually breaks down when in contact with oxygen, forming an oxidized by-product that may cause allergic reactions such as eczema in susceptible individuals.

One plant where it is found is in cannabis!

Definitely not for COPD!
