Red spruce, Picea rubens, wild crafted in Canada
Steam distilled branches and needles
Red Spruce embodies the feminine, mothering energy of conifers, ensuring you do the work necessary to achieve your deepest desires. This oil offers a gentle yet powerful sense of renewal, clearing the mind and opening the lungs. It's specific in aiding manifestation, igniting passions, and activating the sacral chakra.
It functions as a nervine, providing essential support when emotions are frayed and mental chatter interrupts thoughts.This is a versatile and valuable oil known to support respiratory health and act as an anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-parasitic. The anti-parasitic benefit is especially prized, as it offers this therapy without the heat and skin-sensitivity often found in other oils.
Key chemical constituents include borneol, which has expectorant properties, and $\alpha$-pinene, a monoterpene with known anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity.
Emotionally and spiritually, Red Spruce focuses on the heart—healing after grief, soothing it when broken, and allowing it to share its wisdom. Historically, indigenous communities used its Vitamin C-rich needles for tea to prevent scurvy, and its sticky, antimicrobial resin was used to seal wounds and ease respiratory ailments.
