Spruce Black is steam distilled from the needles of the wild crafted Picia mariana tree. This should not be confused with Spruce Hemlock, which is from a different family (Tsuga cadanensis).
Therapeutic Use: Spruce Black is well known for it's detoxing capability where it will work wonders to eliminate tissue build up, especially lactic acid, which is at the heart of aching, sore, muscles. It is also known to speed up the lymphh system where it offers stimulation and energy. The perfect choice for your "get up and go" morning blends.
Fragrance Impact: Spruce Black offers a very pleasant coniferous note that is clean, sweet, and slightly green. A must have for any woody blends where it offers a smoothness not seen with any other conifer. An uplifting oil that offers a delicate sweetness to any green, or wood, blends.
