PICEA MARIANA (P. MILL.) B.S.P. VAR. MARIANA

Black spruce is in the Pinaceae family which includes the Pines and Firs as well as Cedarwood (Cedrus atlantica). Black spruce resin was used as a chewing gum; wound healing agent; tea against sore throat; salve greased on the chest against bronchial diseases while Black spruce needles were used in tea against cough; stomach disease because of tobacco abuse. The cones were also used in tea against cold and cough (Deeg, et al. 2012).

The essential oil is distilled from the needles. The essential oil is rich in the ester, bornyl acetate, and supported by monoterpenes (camphene and a-pinene).

TOP AFFINITIES FOR BLACK SPRUCE:
  • Respiratory system: Colds, moist coughs, spasmodic coughs, bronchitis
  • Immune System: Immune deficiency. General weakness. Strengthens immunity/ojas.
Specific for adrenal fatigue. Can be used with Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris).  Use in a 1:2 essential oils to vegetable oil dilution. Gently massage into area above kidneys. Apply 2x a day.
The bornyl acetate content indicates that it could be a beneficial analgesic and anti-inflammatory (think musculoskeletal system: muscular aches and pains, stiffness, tension) essential oil, as well as being relaxing. Could blend with other ester rich essential oils or essential oils with a good ester content and the sedative alcohol, linalol. 

Northern Lights Black Spruce is a key ingredient in Young Living's best selling blend, Valor.
