2. Antifungal properties: Hinoki oil has been shown to have antifungal properties, which may make it useful in treating fungal infections of the skin or nails.
3. Improved respiratory function: Inhaling the aroma of hinoki oil may help to improve respiratory function and alleviate respiratory symptoms such as coughing, congestion, and difficulty breathing.
