Quick Facts

·         Part Used: Needles and Twigs

·         Aroma Note: Top to Middle

The Profile

Scotch Pine is a tall, rugged evergreen tree that can live for hundreds of years. Historically, Native Americans used the needles to fill mattresses to repel lice and fleas, and Hippocrates used it for respiratory complaints. The aroma is strong, fresh, resinous, and "forest-like." It is often considered the quintessential "clean" scent. Unlike many oils that are primarily sedative, Pine is a restorative stimulant—it provides a sense of rugged strength and helps the body "breathe" again after periods of weakness or illness.

Therapeutic Actions

Antimicrobial, Antirheumatic, Antiseptic (pulmonary/urinary), Antiviral, Bactericidal, Balsamic, Cholagogue, Deodorant, Diuretic, Expectorant, Hypertensive, Insecticide, Rubefacient, Stimulant (adrenal cortex/circulatory/nervous), Vermifuge.

Usage & Benefits

·         Skin: Excessive perspiration, cuts, sores, and scabies. It is highly cleansing and helps to stimulate the circulation of the skin.

·         Respiratory: The master respiratory oil. Excellent for asthma, bronchitis, catarrh, sinus congestion, and sore throats. It helps clear the lungs and eases breathing by opening the bronchioles.

·         Genito-Urinary: Cystitis and urinary tract infections. It acts as a powerful disinfectant for the kidneys and bladder.

·         Circulatory/Muscular: Arthritis, gout, rheumatism, and muscular aches. It is a warming rubefacient that helps move "cold" stagnation out of the joints.

·         Nervous System: Neuralgia and fatigue. It is a specific stimulant for the adrenal glands, making it vital for those suffering from "adrenal fatigue" or burnout.

Emotional Benefit

Pine is the "Oil of Forgiveness." It is specifically indicated for those who carry a heavy burden of self-reproach or guilt. It helps clear away the "clutter" of the mind and the heart. Just as a walk through a pine forest feels refreshing and expansive, Pine oil helps the soul expand and release the need to be perfect, replacing shame with self-respect and vitality.

The "At Home" Remedies

1.       The "Forest Bath" Steam: Add 3 drops of Pine and 2 drops of Eucalyptus to a bowl of hot water. Inhale to clear blocked sinuses and "reset" the respiratory system during a cold.

2.      Adrenal Support Massage: Mix 2 drops of Pine with a teaspoon of carrier oil. Massage into the lower back (over the kidney area) in the morning to help boost energy and support the adrenal glands during stressful times.

3.       Sauna-Style Shower: Place 2 drops of Pine on the floor of your shower (out of the direct stream of water). The steam will carry the scent, turning your shower into a decongesting and invigorating experience.

Synergy Blend

The "Winter Shield" Blend Diffuse to keep the air pure and the lungs strong during flu season

·         4 drops Pine

·         3 drops Lemon

·         2 drops Tea Tree

Blending Partners

Cedarwood, Citronella, Clary Sage, Coriander, Cypress, Eucalyptus, Frankincense, Juniper Berry, Lavender, Lemon, Marjoram, Niaouli, Rosemary, and Tea Tree.

Safety Data, Warnings, & Precautions

Generally non-toxic and non-sensitizing. However, it can cause skin irritation if the oil is oxidized or used in high concentrations. Always use in dilution. Avoid using Pine if you have prostate cancer, as it may stimulate hormonal activity. Use with caution for those with very sensitive skin.

Available sizes: 13ml
