Jack Pine – Organic

Jack Pine is largely composed of monoterpenes (C10), mainly α-Pinene and β-Pinene. This composition gives us a very compelling essential oil: a generally stimulating tonic for the body, and a very valuable anti-inflammatory for the respiratory and osteo-articular systems. It is also a very good stimulant for the digestive system, because of its exocrine-stimulating action at the level of digestive and intestinal glands. It also provides valuable aid in cases of respiratory infection.
