Health Benefits:

Pinon Pine essential oil:

This particular variety of pine, an ancient and long-lived species with living trees almost 2,000 years old, is high in the monoterpene sabinene, one of the chemical compounds that is responsible for the spiciness of black pepper. Pine oil, in its many varieties, might be among the most common and recognized household fragrance, so popular is this aroma in the world of disinfectants and deodorizers. The essential oil of pine is a much more refined version of the more crude, often synthetic variety. In aromatherapy, pine oil is known for its uplifting and purifying qualities which support nearly every system of the body, particularly circulatory, immune, and respiratory systems. A natural antibacterial, pine essential oil is used topically for cuts and sores, lice, and excessive perspiration. It stimulates circulation through its anti-inflammatory action, easing joint and muscle complaints along with arthritic and rheumatic conditions. In the respiratory tract, pine essential oil supports lung function generally, and is indicated for conditions including asthma, bronchitis, coughs and sinusitis. Likewise, it supports the immune system, where its tonifying effect speeds recovery and lifts spirits.

In the nervous system, pine is known to have an uplifting, cleansing effect which can dispel nervous fatigue, neuralgia, and other stress-related conditions. Diffused, invigorating pine oil can clear the air and release negative emotions.

Juniper essential oil:

When inhaled through direct palm inhalation or diffused, richly balsamic and woody-sweet juniper essential oil works to decongest, detoxify and cleanse the body systems. Employed in these modalities, (along with therapeutic massage), juniper oil supports the kidneys, lymphatic and respiratory systems, skin, and intestines.

A world class detoxifier, juniper essential oil can be topically applied to improve skin conditions such as wet eczema, acne and psoriasis. In recognition of its ability to reduce uric acid levels, it is also recommended for gout and rheumatic pain in joints and muscles. Juniper essential oil, applied over the abdomen, can also aid in detoxification from overindulgence in eating and drinking. Diffused, it can cleanse the nervous system, improving poor circulation and remediating nervous and mental exhaustion.

Juniper in tincture or herbal form is often used in fasting and cleansing programs due to its decongestant and diuretic properties. The tea or tincture form can also stimulate the filtration rate of the kidneys, assisting in treating chronic cystitis and urinary bladder conditions, and for reducing fluid retention due to lymphatic congestion or a heavy menstrual cycle.

How To Use Pinon Pine/Juniper Codistilled Essential Oil:

Pinon pine and juniper oil can be applied topically (diluted), as a compress, in the bath, through direct inhalation, or diffuser.

Add several drops to steaming water (vapor therapy) to address respiratory issues such as coughs, colds, and sinusitis.

Add 4 drops pinon pine to 1 oz. lotion or massage oil and massage into affected areas to increase circulation and lessen fluid retention, or to relieve joint and muscle pain.

For skin conditions, mix one drop in your facial moisturizer to treat acne, weeping eczema, dermatitis, or blocked pores.

Direct inhalation and diffusion of juniper essential oil helps relieve nervous tension and anxiety and boost strength and vitality.
