Product Spotlight: White Spruce

From the boreal forests of northern Canada, comes the magnificent conifer White Spruce. This tree, part of the world’s largest biome, contributes to planetary health by absorbing carbon dioxide; thus, it helps to offset the effects of global warming.* White Spruce’s fragrant needles and twigs, distilled into an effervescent, healing essential oil, produces a powerful tonic for humans as well.*

Amrita’s source for White Spruce Essential Oil, offers a refreshing visit to ancient boreal forests. If you’ve wandered into a sauna or steam bath in colder climes, such as Canada, Alaska or the Northeastern US, you may recall the scent of this wonderful tree, which can live for up to 1000 years. With its long, green needles (yes, they are edible!), extra large cones, and graceful branches, White Spruce creates a fresh, clear, slightly balsamic oil that has been used medicinally for centuries. Let’s take a look into more details of why you need this essential oil in your daily life!

What is White Spruce? And how can White Spruce Essential Oil help us all?

This beautiful oil contains the terpenes (aromatic compounds) ɑ-Pinene and ß-Pinene. Along with Camphene and Limonene, they give White Spruce its lovely, nurturing pine forest aroma. Distilled from towering conifers deep in the forest, these chemical compounds are also the building blocks of this powerful essential oil.

White Spruce has anti-microbial properties, as well as anti-inflammatory, and anti-anxiety effects from these aromatic compounds.* It can work as a broncho-dilator by clearing blocked sinuses and relieving lung congestion.* It offers pain relief when applied topically in a carrier oil, such as Jojoba Carrier Oil or Sunflower Carrier Oil.* It is also good for alleviating chronic fatigue and can improve overall circulation.* White Spruce cleanses and invigorates, fortifying and balancing your body and spirit.*

The pitch or resin from White Spruce has been used as antiseptic for wounds; folk medicine uses include the resin in lozenges for sore throats, while the inner bark was used to treat colds and flu.* White Spruce can act as a natural anti-depressant, encouraging the nervous system to release feel good chemicals like dopamine!*
