with green woody notes. Overall, the scent is very clean, fresh and
pleasant.
History: Black Spruce Needle
Essential oil has a long history of use in saunas, steam baths, and
as an additive to baths and massage products in spas. A particular
strength of this essential oil is its ability to target sore
muscles and reenergize.

oil should be applied to the skin only in dilution as it has the
potential to be a possible skin irritant.

STATEMENT

After I'm done washing, I turn off the water and put seven to 10
drops of black spruce oil on my hands. Black spruce oil is
anti-bacterial and anti-infectious, and it supports the adrenal
glands, which suffer when we get tired from the winter weather
and lack of light. I spread the oil all over my skin from head
to toe--except the mucous membranes. I always make sure to rub
the oil on my abdomen, since there's a lot of lymphatic tissue
in that area. Then I do 30 seconds of deep breathing and rinse
off with cool water. When people follow this regimen every
morning in the winter, it's extremely rare that they get sick in
any way. [Find
