SILVESTRE PINE ESSENTIAL OIL
This plant was used since the time of Hippocrates to treat respiratory diseases.
An evergreen tree of considerable size, it can in fact reach 40 meters in height. It is characterized by long needles opposite two by two. It is a very resinous tree, with a reddish bark when young and then brown. It grows spontaneously in all mountain areas.
The essential oil is obtained from the needles with the cold distillation method and a straw yellow liquid is obtained that gives off a balsamic scent reminiscent of Camphor.
