Spruce Essential oil
By Linda A. Annan
The soft sweet scent of spruce has been found in lotions, salves and even honey. In its task of rejuvenating the body, spruce's therapeutic and medicinal properties have placed it in a leading role as one of the most effective essential oils for relieving and curing major distresses.
Its uses range from the manufacture of tonics to the treatment of scurvy. Skin distresses like burns, sores and boils can effectively be cured by this plant.
Throughout history spruce has relieved symptoms of arthritis, headaches and rheumatism. It suppresses coughs, sore throats and tuberculosis; it also pacifies discomforts associated with dyspepsia and stomachaches.
Spruce strengthens the immune system and normalizes hormones, thus helping to balance the thyroid, adrenal, reproductive and pituitary glands. Its ability to stimulate adrenaline also enables it to ward off stress-related symptoms.
As an antibacterial agent, it may be used to alleviate such infections as bronchitis and asthma. It may even relieve pains of the joint and muscle like backache, arthritis, sciatica and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Spruce also fights off acne-causing bacterial action and may ease symptoms of dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis and seborrhea. Its antifungal agent wards off conditions like jock itch, athlete's foot and fingernail fungi.
Its emotional effects include encouraging contentment and promoting a rejuvenated appearance. As an energy booster, it is able to elevate dark moods to more positive ones.
Because of this, spruce is believed to be a great assistance to meditation and intense spiritual connectivity.
