Product Summary
With a wonderfully fresh and uplifting aroma, Black Spruce possesses the ability to free and calm the mind while elevating the spirit. Like all conifer oils, it is an emotionally grounding oil yet at the same time stimulating, making it an excellent refresher for physical or mental exhaustion or in times of stress or anxiety.*
It is a great enhancement for yoga or meditation practices, as well as an atmospheric energizer for any room; an effective room deodorant and antiseptic.*
Black Spruce is highly supportive and restorative to overworked or depleted adrenal glands.*
It is strengthening and balancing to the nervous system, helps boost stamina, and may be of particular benefit with fatigue.*
Traditionally used as a key component in massage blends to target muscle pain and spasms, join paint, and general strains and sprains; it is also an excellent aid for poor circulation. It has long been used in saunas and steam rooms, and is an excellent addition to the bath when used with bath salts.*
A good respiratory oil also used as a wound healing agent, antifungal, and anti-parasitic.*
