Pinon Pine Essential Oil Spotlight

by Andrea Butje, LMT, Aromatherapy Educator on September 03, 2018

Pinon Pine (Pinus edulis

Pinon Pine essential oil comes from the same tree that gives us pine nuts.

Its aroma is fresh and piney, like other conifers, but it also has hints of citrus that remind me of pineapple. 

Pinon Pine essential oil loves to create welcoming, safe spaces. I can just imagine it having an upscale mountain resort surrounded by conifer trees, complete with a chauffeur service and carved pineapples at the gates. (I learned that pineapples have long been a symbol of hospitality. How fitting!) 

 

This essential oil spotlight shares ways to use Pinon Pine essential oil for:

  • Natural cleaning
  • Allergy relief
  • Respiratory health
  • Preventing colds and the flu (or reducing their symptoms)
  • Reducing germs
  • Feeling relaxed and uplifted

And more!

Pinon Pine is also spelled Piñon, Pinyon, and Pinion. When you're buying the essential oil, just know you're looking for Pinus edulis, and you'll be all set!
