Biopark Cosmetics Pine Needle Essential Oil

Purpose of use: Suitable as an air freshener in combination with a diffuser.

Biopark Pine Needle Essential Oil is extracted from pine needles using steam distillation. It has a pale yellow colour and a woody, turpentine-like, sweet resinous, fresh, pine evergreen scent. It is often viewed as representing the smell of Northern forests. It can help with arthritis, joint and muscle aches, gout and rheumatism. It is specifically indicated for respiratory problems and said to be useful in cases of intestinal disturbances, hepatitis (there is not any official medical documentation supporting this), inflamed gall bladder, urinary tract infections, and chronic cystitis. Aroma therapists credit black pine with being refreshing, invigorating, stimulating, strengthening, and very popular in an aromatherapeutic bath to revive tired muscles.

Blends well with: citronella, clary sage, coriander, cypress, eucalyptus, frankincense, juniper, lavender, myrrh, rosemary, spikenard, tea tree

Interesting facts: This evergreen tree can grow up to 40 meters high and has a flat crown. The bark is reddish-brown in colour and has needle-like grey and green leaves that grow in pairs, orange-yellow flowers, and pointed brown cones. The oil extracted from the pine needles has a long history of use in the sauna, steam bath, and as an additive to baths and massage products targeting sore muscles and strengthening the system.
