Pine Scotch Essential Oil
|
 Botanical Name: Pinus sylvestris
Plant Part: Needles & twigs
Extraction Method: Steam distilled
Origin: Hungary
Description: This evergreen tree can grow up to 40 meters (130 feet) and has a flat crown. The bark is a reddish-brown that is deeply fissured with needle-like gray-green leaves that grow in pairs, orange-yellow flowers, and pointed brown cones. It is not as readily available as regular pine trees accounting for the price discrepancy.
Color: Colorless to pale yellow
Common Uses: Pine Scotch essential oil is viewed as an analgesic, antibacterial, antibiotic, anti fungal, antiseptic, and as an antiviral. Aromatherapists credit its use for arthritis, asthma, bladder infections, bronchitis, catarrh, cholagogue, as a circulatory agent, for colds, convalescence, coughs, cuts, cystitis, as a decongestant and deodorant, and for detoxifying, disinfectant, and diuretic. It has also been applied to eczema, those with laryngitis, lice, muscular aches, neuralgia, psoriasis, rheumatism, ringworm, scrapes, and sinusitis. Its versatility is well documented.
Consistency: Thin
Note: Top
Strength of Aroma: Strong
Blends well with: Pine Scotch blends well with citronella, clary sage, coriander, cypress, eucalyptus, frankincense, juniper, lavender, myrrh, rosemary, spikenard, tea tree
Aromatic Scent: The essential oil has a crisp, fresh, sweet, forest like aroma. It is more resinous and warm smelling than the regular pine oil, with a lower content of turpentine. The main chemical components of pine oil are: sylvestrene, pinene, bornyl acetate, dipentene, cardinene and phellandrene.
History: It was used by the native Americans to prevent scurvy and the needles were used to stuff mattresses and to repel lice and fleas. The ancient Egyptians used the pine kernels in their cooking.
Cautions: Although pine and pine needle oil are considered safe since they are non-toxic and non-irritant they should still be used with care on the skin since they can cause irritation in high dosage and may sensitize the skin as well.

This is my favorite pine oil. It relieves the discomfort in a knuckle that had been previously injured. It's also a favorite in the UltraSonic Nebulizer in my bedroom at night.

I was almost expecting something like the really pungent pine scent you always seem to smell in candles at xmas but it is a soft and natural scent. This will be a staple in my house.

I had hurt in joint of third finger from right thumb, applied scotch pine oil and it went away. The pain had been sufficient to make me want to become a left handed bowler, when I had been right handed all 62 years.
I went bowling today and bowled right handed three games because finger felt fine. Tonight noticed finger hurts when bending it and apllied oil three times with Qtip hurt is lessened and by tomorrows application in the morning finger will be feeling alright. Way to go New Directions another success.

I have always loved the smell of fresh pine, and this oil has such a earthy, fresh aroma. I have used it in inhalations with Eucalytus and Peppermint...very refreshing!
