Surprising Spruce Oil Benefits

This particular oil comes from a tree that grows to be very tall, sometimes upwards of 100 to 200 feet. The spruce tree was originally found in the North America region. The oil that this tree yields is powerful and tremendous in a whole host of ways.

The needles and twigs are distilled through a process that uses steam. Many attribute the smell of spruce oil to that of a Christmas tree. It can be both simultaneously elevating and calming. Due to these effects it can often be used in meditative and yoga spaces to set a balanced atmosphere. Here are some other benefits spruce oil can provide that may surprise you.

Improve Memory And Concentration

Do you sometimes battle with being able to really focus on the task at hand? Do you sometimes feel like you are easily distracted and can't get done what you need to? That's a common occurrence that can be caused by many different factors.

Spruce oil can help sharpen your memory and increase your mental acuity. Inhale some of the oil through deep breaths 10 minutes before you start working on a big project or studying for a test.

Aids Muscle Spasms

This oil can be used for issues that you may encounter with your muscles. Whether you are dealing with soreness due to a new workout routine or due to your overall activity level, this oil can help protect your muscles and alleviate any pain you may be experiencing.

It can also be used if you accidentally tweak a joint. Depending on the severity of the injury, you can even treat a small sprain with a bit of spruce oil and jojoba oil. Naturally a pain reliever, spruce is a great oil to have on hand.

Digestive Aid

If you sometimes deal with inflammation after consuming a big meal, you aren't alone. Many people deal with relative discomfort in their tummy when they eat too much of the wrong thing. Your digestion is something that can sometimes be a bit complicated to navigate.

This oil is a great one to have nearby in the event you find yourself bloated or incredibly gassy. Just a couple of drops of spruce oil, mixed with coconut oil and rubbed on your stomach, will help with the digestive issues you may be experiencing.

Boosts Energy

If you struggle with feeling lethargic and its hard for you to muster up the type of energy you need for specific tasks, this oil can help increase your energy. Lack of drive and energy can be a result of many different issues. One of the most common side effects of many different health conditions, both physical and mental, is fatigue.

If you find it difficult to get the energy to do specific daily tasks, this is an oil that you'll want to try. It's great at eliminating pesky fatigue and providing clarity from mental pressure that often overwhelm us. Try a couple of drops in a diffuser or even soak a cotton ball with spruce oil and place it at your desk or working station.
