Along with all Coniferous essential oils, Pine has been known and used by our ancestors for thousands of years to help clear congestions, coughs, and sinusitis symptoms. Aware of the plant sanitizing virtues, they used to fumigate their homes with pine branches to keep bugs away, to clear their home after diseases spreads and clear the air of “miasmas”.
Our Pine essential oil components have been specially selected to be well tolerated on all types of skin for Aromatherapy uses.
