Description	Perillyl alcohol is a monoterpene isolated from the essential oils of lavendin, peppermint, spearmint, cherries, celery seeds, and several other plants. In animal studies it has been shown to regress pancreatic, mammary, and liver tumors, to exhibit possible application as a chemopreventative agent for colon, skin, and lung cancer, and as a chemotherapeutic agent for neuroblastoma, and prostate and colon cancer.(PMID: 9855569) [HMDB]. p-Mentha-1,8-dien-7-ol is found in many foods, some of which are caraway, ginger, german camomile, and sweet bay.
