Pine oil 100% essential

10ml

Pine oil is obtained from the needles and twigs of the Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) by steam distillation.

It gives off a fresh, resinous scent, like the one that makes you take a deep breath in a coniferous forest. The woody note is complemented by a subtle, slightly camphor-like sweetness. It is worth tasting this scent both cold and warm. The oil dropped onto a handkerchief smells more “medicinal” and refreshing. Heated in a fireplace, it seems warmer, sweeter and more “forest-like”. I also recommend combining this oil with lemon oil in a 1:1 ratio. This creates a truly intoxicating composition.

The main active ingredients of pine oil are monoterpenes, the concentration of which in the oil reaches 90%. Monoterpenes are susceptible to oxidation, which is why it is important to store this oil in the refrigerator.

Scots pine has always been a valuable herbal raw material. To this day, needles, resin, young shoots and flowers are obtained from it. Oil is made from needles, many medicinal preparations from resin, and young shoots and flowers are worth eating raw – they are a bomb of bioactive compounds with health-promoting effects. Being in a pine forest and inhaling its scent also has a positive effect on the body.

In ancient medicine, decoctions of pine needles were used for inhalation in respiratory diseases. They were also poured into baths, which were taken in the case of rheumatism, bone and muscle pain. Needle infusions were drunk for colds to recover faster, or used to wash the skin as an antiseptic. Syrup or honey were made from young shoots, which were supposed to strengthen the entire body and improve immunity.

PLANT CHARACTERISTICS

Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) is a member of the pine family. It occurs naturally throughout Europe and Siberia. It is cultivated in New Zealand and North America in temperate climates. It easily spreads from cultivation to natural environments.

The pine tree grows to a height of 30-40 m. When it grows in clusters, the lower part of its trunk is bare, and the crown forms an “umbrella”. When it grows alone, its crown is denser and its shape is conical. The pine tree has 3-7 cm long needles, which it replaces every 3-6 years. It is wind-pollinated. Its flowers can be male or female. They produce microscopic, yellow pollen, which they release in May. It can then be seen on the ground and on the edges of puddles. It is worth mentioning that it has health-promoting properties. After pollination, it takes a year for fertilization to occur. Then the seeds are born, which fall out of the cones the following year.
