Pine Oil Description

Pine oil is distilled from the twigs and needles of the Scotch pine that grows throughout much of Europe and Asia. It has a fresh, resinous, camphor-like aroma. Pine blends well with cedarwood, lavandin, rosemary, sage, cananga, labdanum, juniper, and other coniferous oils.

The key uses of pine oil are as an anti-infectious, antimicrobial agent in colds, flu, urinary and viral infections. Add a few drops of essential oil of pine to your cleaning solution to disinfect kitchen and bathroom surfaces, while enjoying that fresh pine scent. To help disinfect and clear the air in your home during cold and flu season, use pine oil in aroma lamps and aromatherapy room diffusers.

Pine oil has a long history of use as a pain reliever in arthritis, aches, pains and sore muscles. Hippocrates used pine to treat pulmonary problems and Pliny recommended it for respiratory conditions. Pine oil makes a wonderful addition to any arthritis pain massage rub, and is great for sore muscles too. Do be sure to dilute it properly with a carrier oil, as pine can be irritating to the skin.
