History
Black Pine is native to mountainous regions of Central and Southern Europe and has long been valued for durable timber and aromatic resin. Pine needles, resin and wood have featured in customary household, fragrance and bathing preparations. During the twentieth century, pine oils became established materials in European perfumery, soaps and household products. Historical use does not establish that concentrated Black Pine Essential Oil treats respiratory or muscular conditions.
