The power of the wild forest ..

The coniferous denizens of the Northern Forest possess powerful healing properties.

I’m enthralled by the evergreen sentinels of my alpine world. Coniferous tree needles, resin, bark, and cones are featured in many of my oil blends and salves. Not only do the infused creations smell like heaven, calming and soothing the mind, and reducing anxiety they contain powerful topical healing properties.

Coniferous Tree Oleoresins. Coniferous tree species all produce medicinal resin. Oleoresins are very complex and differ from species to species. They are comprised of intricate mixtures of volatile and nonvolatile terpenes. Oleoresins are shown to be antibacterial and possess antitumor properties. They are also Antiseptic, Astringent, Antimicrobial, Antifungal, Anticancer, and anti-inflammatory.

Tree sap, pitch, and resins are different compounds produced by the tree. The oleoresin is produced in response to injury - oozing out from deep inside the tree to cover wounds made by bugs and animals, and scars left by broken branches. The resin forms a scab, covering and healing the wound. The properties that contribute to the trees’ healing help us heal, too - what heals the tree can help our wounds heal, too.

Pine tree resins have anti-cancer properties similar to Frankincense resins but have not been as widely studied to date. More research is currently underway to investigate these compounds.

Boswellic Rich Frankincense Resin. Boswellic acids are compounds in Frankincense resins containing “pentacyclic triterpenes.” These terpenes have been intensely studied for their powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities. The essential oils from Frankincense have powerful qualities of their own, but it’s within the resin where the anticancer properties reside.

Calendula Blossoms. Calendula is well known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal properties and has been used for thousands of years, helping skin heal from wounds, rashes, eczema, itchy dermatitis, and eczema. It grows like mad in my garden, where I collect it every day in the summer for my infusions.

Yarrow leaves and flowers. Native Americans used yarrows extensively for many purposes. I include them here to help resolve bruises, minor sprains, and swelling and to relieve itches and rashes.

Arnica petals. Arnica has been used for thousands of years to soothe sore muscles, sprains, and bruises, reduce inflammation, and heal wounds.

Cottonwood Buds are rich in a compound called Salicin, the precursor to Salicylic Acid, which is the active ingredient in aspirin. You may be familiar with White Willow Bark - also a source of this natural, anti-inflammatory compound. I collect my Cottonwood buds after the spring equinox - when the saps start to rise, and the sticky red-orange Salicin-rich resin has saturated the leaf and catkin buds. Salicin reduces pain and inflammation. LEARN MORE

1% Medical Grade DMSO: DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is derived from plant lignins, the binding substance of trees. DMSO has been extensively researched and proven to relieve pain, reduce swelling & inflammation, encourage healing, restore normal skin function, and help deliver compounds in a formula through the skin barrier.

Safe for people 5 and up. Not for faces but you can use it on your scalp for psoriasis.

This is a highly active formula along with powerful essential oils at the rate of 3%. If you have sensitive skin, please perform a patch test to check for any allergic reaction or sensitivities (link below) and reduce or discontinue use if irritation does persists.

DMSO helps deliver compounds through the skin - wash hands before applying and apply to clean skin.

Keep in mind that all the pine tree species are rich in aromatic compounds which are proven to enhance mood and reduce anxiety for long periods of time.
