Aromatherapy Share: Spruce, Black (Piscea Mariana)...

Black Spruce is a North American conifer tree from Canada. She thrives in swamps and bogs that have cool and damp conditions. Black Spruce Trees rely on controlled burns to aid seed dispersal, as they open very quickly when there is a fire present. Indigenous cultures have used the sap, pulp, and twigs as medicine and food. She is rich in minerals and vitamins to help treat and prevent scurvy.

Black Spruce is wonderful for the common cold, flu, and respiratory problems. She helps with pain, arthritis, spasms, and inflammation. By stimulating the thymus gland, Black Spruce is good for immunity. She also works on the thyroid and helps the throat chakra. For the skin, Black Spruce helps to clear acne and eczema. For the gut, she addresses intestinal fungus, parasites, and candida.

Energetically, Black Spruce is grounding and elevating at the same time. She helps us to focus, center, and express ourselves confidently. When we are ready to let go of shame and accept ourselves for who we are, she is an excellent supporter. Black Spruce addresses the pain body and helps us to do our shadow work. She is great medicine for anxiety, stress, negativity, darkness, and sexual repression.
