Characteristics of Pine
The pine (Scots pine, commonly known as Scots pine) is an evergreen coniferous tree that thrives mainly in cold climates of Europe and Asia. It often reaches a height of 35 meters and is known for its resin, long needles and strong aromatic scent. The essential oil is extracted mainly from the needles and sometimes from the young branches, by steam distillation.
Historically of Pefkos
Since ancient times, the pine tree has been considered a sacred tree associated with purification and protection. The ancient Greeks and Romans used it in purification rituals and to disinfect the air. In folk medicine, it was used to relieve respiratory problems and rheumatism, while medieval herbalists particularly valued pine resin and oil for their antiseptic and expectorant properties.
Chemical composition
Pine essential oil from fresh needles using the hydrodistillation method.
Ingredients
Pine essential oil contains mainly monoterpenes, such as alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, limonene, camphene, and borneol. These compounds give the oil its antiseptic, analgesic, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. The high pinene concentration makes it extremely effective for relieving congestion and muscle pain.
Instructions for use
Pine essential oil can be used for:
-
Inhalations for relief from colds and congestion.
-
Diluted in base oil (e.g. jojoba, almond oil) for massage against muscle pain, rheumatism and to enhance circulation.
-
In aromatherapy devices for purifying the air and activating the mind.
Use in Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, pine is used to dispel dampness and stimulate the Qi of the lungs. It is considered excellent for balancing the energy flows related to respiration and blood flow.
In Ayurveda, pine is primarily used to reduce Kapha dosha, removing stagnation, mucus, and lethargy. It enhances circulation and has a warming effect, providing pain relief, while also strengthening the mind, promoting concentration and clarity.
Useful tips

- Essential oils are intended for external use and are always used dissolved in a carrier oil or other catalyst.
- Avoid direct contact with skin, eyes and mouth.
