pine oil
binomial name: pinus palustris and pinus patula
the smell of freshly cut pine is a familiar and comforting one, reminiscent of cool, green forests. cultivated from two different species, the longleaf pine of the southwest and the weeping pine from the highlands of mexico, it emits a diffusively woody and refreshing aroma.
benefit: its purifying qualities support nearly every system of the body, particularly the circulatory, immune and respiratory systems. it energizes as it lessens congestion to combat fatigue and relieve stress. as a soak, it tames inflammation and releases tight muscles, swollen joints and sore limbs. the brisk scent helps to deodorize and awaken the body.
