Scotch Pine essential oil is a highly valued oil that is extracted from the needles of the Pinus sylvestris tree, which is native to Europe and Asia. This essential oil is known for its distinct, fresh, warm, and piney scent that is vastly different from the harsh pine aromas associated with commercial and industrial cleaning chemicals. The organic grown Scotch Pine essential oil from Bulgaria has a pleasant and elevating aroma that can evoke memories of spending time in the forest or walking through the woods after a light rain with a loved one.
Unlike many other Pine essential oils that are distilled from needles plus twigs and branches, this essential oil is distilled from needles only, giving it a true representation of natural fresh pine. It is a versatile oil that can be used in a variety of ways. It is an ideal addition to room sprays, natural perfumes, incense, and diffuser blends. During winter holiday parties, a few drops of Scotch Pine, when diffused in a candle oil diffuser along with Orange Sweet and Clove Bud, can have guests raving about how divine your home smells. Moreover, Scotch Pine has natural antibacterial properties that are beneficial for combating bacteria during winter months when gathering in closed-in places that are affected by low humidity from heated air.
Scotch Pine is a perfect addition to masculine natural perfume blends. It melds beautifully with floral, herbaceous notes in Bulgarian Lavender and the vibrancy in citrus oils like Blood Orange and Tangerine. This oil can be added to natural perfumes to provide a soft conifer addition.
Aroma-therapeutically, Scotch Pine is reported to have several therapeutic benefits. It is helpful as a decongestant for the lungs, sinuses, and head, as well as allergies, colds, flu, and sinus infections. The essential oil has antibacterial, expectorant, antiseptic, and detoxifying properties. The detoxifying property of Scotch Pine is advantageous for a steam shower, which is said to help eliminate toxins through perspiration and open up respiratory pathways for clear breathing. The emotional uplift produced from smelling the beautiful aroma of Scotch Pine will have you feeling fresh and renewed! This oil is an ideal choice if you don't like the aroma of Eucalyptus.
Lastly, the high amount of antibacterial and antiseptic properties of Scotch Pine essential oil make it a fantastic addition to natural household cleansers. It can be used to clean kitchen and bathroom countertops, tubs and showers, tile walls, and floors. It is a must-have household item that can help you maintain a clean, fresh, and natural lifestyle.
