What is Spruce?
Spruce is an evergreen tree native to the Northern Hemisphere. With needles shorter and softer than those of the pine tree, spruce is known to grow anywhere from 60-200 feet tall at full maturity. The wood from the spruce tree is commonly used to create musical instruments such as guitars, violins, and cellos. It has also been used in Native American traditional practices and as a source of paper.
Spruce Essential Oil
Steam distilled from the needles and twigs of the tree, spruce oil’s woody and evergreen scent is also slightly sweet. Spruce oil is a popular choice for meditation due to the fact that it can promote a sense of clarity. Additionally, it can also be refreshing and calming while helping to soothe nerves and process pent up emotions.
Blending essential oils opens up a world of aromatherapy possibilities! Other oils that complement Spruce oil’s sweet fragrance include: amyris, cedarwood, clary sage, eucalyptus, frankincense, lavender, myrrh, patchouli, pine, rosemary, and rosewood oils.
