I purchased Spruce, White for a "manly" scent to had to my shea butter balm line. I also make smudges and the Lakota's used spruce to help speak with the spirits. It's one of the "Sacred Oils" that I take to Sacred Sites around the world. The men loved it but what surprised me was the women loved it also. It has a Christmas smell to it. The men loved it on their rough hands as it also is antispasmodic, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory - it also has cortisone-like stimulants for the immune system. It's great for fungal infections, respiratory infections and arthritis like aches and pains. A little went along way. I just love Spruce, White EO.
