Pino Silvestre

Description

Scots Pine (Pinus Sylvestris) essential oil is the symbol of married love and the daily struggle against life’s adversities. A tree that, according to Shinto thought, welcomes the benign spirits of nature into its branches. In China, the seeds, resin, and needles nourish the immortals, enabling them to fly.

Disclosure information:

The Ministry of Health recognises its balsamic effect and beneficial effect on nose and throat.

In aromatherapy it combats urinary as well as respiratory tract infections, calming coughs. It is used to stimulate male sexuality and is thought to help during convalescence by strengthening the immune system.

It is added to aromatic baths, properly diluted in milk, cream, honey, or salt, to relieve rheumatism, arthritis, and gout.

Often used in the manufacture of flavoured brandies and candies.

 It invigorates and tones the mood in periods of stress, fatigue, and apathy. Aromatherapists indicate it in cases of depression and to increase sexual appetite.

Suggested uses:

• Room diffuser: 3/6 drops in 100 ml of water. We suggest combining it with other essential oils.
• Bath: 5/10 drops of essential oil emulsified in coarse salt, milk, cream, or honey, in hot water (this prevents the oil from evaporating due to the heat).
• Massage: a few drops of essential oil in a tablespoon of carrier oil or neutral cream

Warnings: Non-toxic essential oil, can sensitise and is to be avoided in case of allergies. If in doubt consult a doctor/pharmacist.
