Canadian Black Spruce Essential Oil

Picea mariana, the black spruce, is a North American species of spruce tree in the pine family. It is widespread across Canada, found in all 10 provinces and all 3 Arctic territories.  It is a frequent part of the biome known as taiga or boreal forest The Latin specific epithet mariana means “of the Virgin Mary”.

Spruce essential oil is great for meditation and yoga due to its fresh, outdoorsy scent that transforms one’s room into a vacation in the Canadian wilderness. Spruce also has a significant percentage of camphene, making it beneficial for respiratory issues such as bronchitis, asthma and coughs. With a medium-strength woody, earthy, and evergreen aroma presenting a top-middle fragrance note. Spruce oil can be applied topically (always diluted), as a compress, in the bath, through direct inhalation, or diffuser.
