The scotch pine is extensively cultivated worldwide – for wood, tar, pitch, turpentine and its essential oil. Clear and crisp, pine oil pierces through stagnancy. It energises, provides clarity and alleviates emotional stress. Cleanses the breathing passageways. Use in abdominal massage as it loves the internal organs, also to treat aching, stiff and tired muscles. Repels insects – cleanse the home environment for protection.
