The Canadian Spruce (Picea canadensis), also known as White Spruce (P. alba, P. glauca), is a member of the distinguished Pinaceae family that also yields Pine and Fir Needle oils that share similar properties and uses as well as scent.

In aromatherapy, their bracing, stimulating odor, and their purifying properties, make them particularly desirable for inhalation therapies, including aerosols and diffusors.

The topical effects of Spruce predictably include increased circulation. Like other pine needle oils, it too can be versatilely applied by compress, in liniments, foot baths, or in massage therapy, especially in sport blends.
