The Spruce (Picea Abies), the traditional Christmas tree, is widespread in mountain areas.
Since Hippocrates’s time, resin has been used to treat lung diseases, flu, and colds. Relieves lung congestion and expands breathing by opening the lower lungs. Suitable for smokers.
It is used against arthritis, muscle pain, rheumatism, and chronic fatigue syndrome. The Spruce increases courage and self-confidence.
Thanks to its purifying effect, it is recommended for use in environments with stagnant or smoky air.
