Did you know that for centuries, before any of our ancestors even set foot in this country, many Native American tribes would travel to Canada every year for the restorative benefits of the leaves of this tree?

Not only did they use it medicinally, but also to help calm and sedate- with anesthetizing properties! The Lakota also still use the needles of this tree in their spiritual and meditative practices.-Eryn Jones

WHY WOULD THEY TRAVEL FOR JUST THIS ONE SPECIFIC TREE'S LEAVES?

The overwhelming majority of the chemical components in black spruce essential oil are classified as monoterpenes. It has such a high number of these chemical compounds that can push through the blood/brain barrier in a way that other chemicals cannot, which helps black spruce to provide so many calming and relaxing benefits!

NORTHERN LIGHTS BLACK SPRUCE USES FOR EMOTIONS:

  • Helps calm the brain, great for the emotions that make us feel "scattered".

  • Promotes focus and calms a racing mind.

  • Can be more grounding than other oils for emotions because of the high amount of monoterpenes.

  • Because of all of this it is found in almost ALL the emotional EO blends! Gathering, Grounding, Gratitude, Believe, Hope, Humility, and Inner Child to name a few!

NLBS is a staple around our home every Holiday season- have you tried it?
