Black Spruce Essential Oil

Black Spruce Essential Oil
Picea mariana | Needles & Twigs | Steam Distilled | Origin: Canada

Black Spruce Essential Oil, steam distilled from the needles and twigs of Picea mariana trees growing in the pristine boreal forests of Canada, carries the quiet strength of nature itself. Its soft, balsamic aroma evokes the scent of a cool evergreen forest after rain - calming, restorative, and deeply grounding.

According to Dr Kurt Schnaubelt, Black Spruce supports and strengthens the adrenal glands, helping to restore balance during times of fatigue and stress. This explains its unique duality: simultaneously calming and uplifting, steadying the emotions while gently revitalising energy levels. Used in diffusers, it acts as a natural airborne deodoriser and respiratory aid, while in topical blends and balms it helps soothe muscles and ease tension.

Historically, Black Spruce has been cherished for both physical and spiritual healing. First Nation tribes in North America used the oil for wounds, joint discomfort, and muscle recovery, as well as in ceremonial rituals to purify and strengthen the spirit. Its fresh, evergreen essence continues to symbolise renewal, resilience, and connection to the Earth.
