BACKGROUND Most of the tree oils have a long history of use as a construction material due to their durability and stability. The oils can be steam distilled from the branches, wood, needles, bark or leaves of the plant to produce an incredible essential oil!

Tree oils in general are wonderful for supporting our bodies during times of inflammation. Because they are high in alpha-pinene, they support the body's natural response to injury and stress, allowing our bodies to be soothed and to recover in the face of acute needs. This is especially true of spruce, cedar, cypress and pine oils!

KEY CONSTITUENTS Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties

• Alpha-pinene: a powerful antioxidant, some studies have shown alpha-pinene to support the body through inflammation and to help calm the mind
• Limonene: known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits
• Camphene: some studies may show that this constituent supports cardiovascular health, may help reduce pain and inflammation, support the body's defenses to fungal infections

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT WITH TREE OILS Tree oils are calming and grounding and wonderful for releasing stored emotions. They help ease feelings of loss and create a sense of security, much like being out in a forest helps soothe our spirit. These oils can help to heal emotional trauma, calm the body, relieve anger and simply help life flow better.

These oils are a great option to diffuse for any kiddos having trouble with transitions, new schools, big changes and are helpful when dealing with emotional trauma and anger.

Some tree oils like Cypress, also help the body detox naturally and promote production of leukocytes (white blood cells) which boosts the body's natural defenses. Emotional health is directly affected by how we feel physically and Cypress, Spruce and Pine can specifically help with that.

• Rub on wrists and feet to keep up energy
• Take a detox bath with one or all of these oils and Epsom salts
• Take them to a massage with you and you will benefit from even more soothing of your muscles and it will help with the detoxing too.
