Black Pine Essential Oil (Austrian Pine)

Black Pine Essential Oil
Oleum pinus nigra | Needles | Steam Distilled | Origin: Austria

Black Pine Essential Oil (also known as Austrian Pine) offers a deep, clean forest aroma that evokes the stillness and strength of high alpine woods. Steam distilled from the needles of Pinus nigra trees in Austria, this oil is grounding yet clarifying, a beautiful ally for those seeking to reconnect with breath, confidence, and inner vitality.

Traditionally used to support the respiratory system, Black Pine is believed to help dry out congestion and ease conditions like bronchitis and asthma. Its gentle antiviral and expectorant properties make it a popular winter oil for diffusing in closed spaces. On an emotional level, it's known to strengthen the nervous system, support low moods, and help anchor feelings of uncertainty or fatigue.

Historically, the needles and young pine cones were used by Swedish communities to make "strunt tea", a traditional pine based brew believed to revitalise the body and clear the lungs!
