Spruce essential oil is distilled from the needles and sometimes the smaller branches of black spruce (Picea mariana). The plant occurs naturally in the wild forests of the northern part of the US and throughout Canada. The extract is prized for its unobtrusive fragrance and unique properties. Historically, it has been used in spiritual practices to cleanse and heal - not only the body, but also the mind. However, the oil's potential is much greater.
Spruce shows antibacterial activity and can be applied topically to soothe minor skin injuries. The fresh aroma of the extract refreshes and supports respiratory functions, eliminates headaches and symptoms of sinus problems. Monoterpenes, which are included in the composition of the product, are powerful antioxidants - they effectively fight free radicals, to which every person is exposed.
When used during a massage, the oil will bring relief to tired, tense muscles and achy joints. It will reduce the appearance of cellulite and cleanse the skin. As a bath additive, it will support the body in times of weakness and infection, and used during diffusion it will strengthen the immune system.
Spruce oil creates a relaxing atmosphere - it brings harmony and balance, promotes a sense of security, but it is also commonly used for periodic drops in energy. While the scent may seem obvious, it has incredible depth to it. In addition to the cool, woody and herbaceous forest aroma, one can clearly feel fruity and balsamic notes, often found in nature. The essence of the oil is precisely nature - both in fragrance and effect.
