This is the best quality Black Spruce oil I've ever used. I use it in my practice and my home. I use it as a therapeutic massage oil (diluted) for lower respiratory congestion and so many other things. I love it as a home air freshener. It smells like the spruce forests in Canada.
I (and my clients) love this essential oil. Grounding and uplifting at the same time, and unique. It's a forever favorite!
It is so grounding and centering, I use it along the bladder channel to recenter patients.
My favorite Spruce oil. I use this often on my clients during healing sessions and they love it. Profoundly healing.
