Personal Experience, Research, Possible Actions
Norway Pine is a great oil for dealing with colds and congestion. It has an antispasmodic effect, great for reducing a spastic cough. It is also an analgesic, used to relieve pain and aches, especially when sick.
Using Norway Pine as an immune tonic has proven to be an excellent way to support the body\'s health. We have also used this oil as an adrenal gland tonic, to help us stay healthy during times of stress, excessive work and transition.
