The essential oil of black spruce, botanical
Picea Mariana by its Latin name, Black Spruce is a species of spruce found in Canada. It is a tree very resistant to extreme climatic conditions and whose wood is used for the manufacture of carpentry and paper pulp. Its gum is fermented to create an effervescent liquor: spruce beer.
It is from its needles that black spruce essential oil is distilled. It then has a pine and woody smell whose main active molecules are :
- bornyl acetate: anti-spasmodic and respiratory calming
- Des esters.
- terpenes: respiratory antiseptic and oxygenating
- camphorated ketones in smaller quantities
Tonic and anti-rhumastimal properties of the essential oil of black spruce
L'essence d'épinette noire est réputée pour être un tonique général en cas de fatigue ou d'asthénie. Il est donc neurotonique et stimulant cortico-surrénalien.
En effet, sa propriété hormon- like et plus précisément cortison-like favorise la production naturelle de cortisone par les glandes surrénales. Cette hormone est certe stimulante et tonique mais aussi anti-inflammatoire.
It is therefore suitable for cases of great fatigue, apathy, asthenia and is useful for relieving rheumatic and joint pain.
