WHAT IS PINE NEEDLE ESSENTIAL OIL?
The fresh scent of Pine Needle awakens memories of crisp, winter days and of holidays past. Pine’s
uniquely comforting and invigorating scent has been used therapeutically
for centuries. Ancient Greeks, Egyptians, and Arabians used pine in
religious ceremonies, and also for conditions like bronchitis,
tuberculosis, and pneumonia. Native Americans made a special brew with
the needles, which was consumed to prevent scurvy. The Scandinavians
used pine branches in saunas, and many cultures stuffed mattresses with
pine needles to repel lice, fleas, and other insects. In fact,
pine-needle mattresses are still used today in the Swiss Alps, however
now their purpose is as a remedy for rheumatism. Pine oil is also a
favorite in bath oils and foams (always with a carrier), because of both
its fresh, lively scent and its anti rheumatic properties.
