Pine has a fresh, forestal, slightly pungent note which is typical of the pine needle oils of the conifer family. These extremely versatile oils represent the oldest aromatic energy on earth and are mainly linked to the oxgenation of our planet. Their connection with the human respiratory system is old folk medicine. No wonder that scots pine is traditionally used to detoxify and strengthen the mucus membranes of the lungs, bronchies and sinuses.  Pine oil contains bound natural oxygen and hence favours a stronger intake of oxygen and an increased out breath of carbon dioxide: a powerful energizing momentum for the whole system.  Similar to Rosemary, Thyme, Cinnamon or Tea Tree, scots pine is a hyper-tenser and extremely effective in cases of asthenia, fatigue, nervous exhaustion and stress. Its direct straightforward energy instills confidence, courage, boldness, and the untwisted clarity needed by those bowed down by the burden of memory and ‘fate’. Here is a shaft of ancient power to lean on and get strong.
