Botanical Name: Picea mariana Botanical Family: Pinaceae
· Extraction Method: Steam Distillation
· Part Used: Needles and Twigs
· Aroma Note: Top to Middle
Black Spruce is a resilient conifer native to the boreal forests of Canada and the northern United States. While many "pine" scents can feel sharp or industrial, Black Spruce is remarkably smooth, earthy, and sweet, with a fresh "forest air" quality. It is widely considered the most "grounding" of the needle oils. Historically, indigenous peoples used spruce for various medicinal purposes and even to make spruce beer to prevent scurvy. In aromatherapy, it is prized as a metabolic and endocrine tonic, specifically targeted at the adrenal glands.
Analgesic, Anti-inflammatory, Antiseptic (pulmonary), Antispasmodic, Antitussive, Diaphoretic, Expectorant, Immune Stimulant, Rubefacient, Tonic (adrenal/nervous).
· Respiratory: Excellent for bronchitis, asthma, and spasmodic coughs. It is particularly effective at "opening up" the chest during a cold and helping to clear phlegm without being as aggressive as Eucalyptus.
· Muscular: A powerhouse for muscular aches, arthritis, and rheumatism. It is warming and helps to move stagnant energy and blood out of sore, tired muscles.
· Endocrine System: Adrenal support. This is the standout benefit of Spruce. It is a "mimetic" oil, meaning it supports the adrenal cortex. It is the primary oil for those suffering from burnout, chronic fatigue, or "lethargic" stress.
· Immune System: It helps strengthen the body's natural defenses, particularly during the winter months when vitality tends to dip.
Spruce is the "Oil of Resilience." It is for those who feel "uprooted" or overwhelmed by the demands of life. It provides the steady, enduring strength of an ancient forest. When you feel emotionally depleted and unable to carry on, Spruce helps you find your "second wind." It grounds the spirit while simultaneously providing the mental lift needed to see above the current struggle.
1. The "Adrenal Re-boot": Mix 2 drops of Spruce with a teaspoon of carrier oil. Massage into the lower back (just above the kidneys) every morning for 7 days during times of high stress or exhaustion to support your energy levels.
2. Sore Muscle Soak: Mix 3 drops of Spruce and 3 drops of Lavender in a tablespoon of carrier oil and add to a warm bath. It eases the "heavy" feeling in limbs after a long day.
3. The "Deep Breath" Inhaler: Place 1 drop of Spruce and 1 drop of Frankincense on a tissue. Inhale deeply to calm a nervous cough and ground a racing mind.
The "Forest Fortitude" Blend Diffuse to clear the air and provide a sense of steady, calm strength
· 4 drops Spruce
· 3 drops Cedarwood
· 2 drops Orange (Sweet)
Benzoin, Cedarwood, Clary Sage, Eucalyptus, Frankincense, Galbanum, Lavender, Lemon, Pine, and Rosemary.
Generally non-toxic and non-sensitizing. However, like all needle oils, it can cause skin irritation if the oil has oxidized (become old). Always keep the bottle tightly capped and in a cool, dark place. Dilute to a maximum of 2% for topical application.
Available sizes: 7ml
