Personal Experience, Research, Possible Actions

Scotch Pine is a great respiratory decongestant and anti-inflammatory oil. It is a great oil to add to a inhaler blend or for steams, especially if the sinuses are inflamed and congested. Great for any respiratory concerns!. Helpful as a decongestant for the lungs, sinuses, and head.Use for allergies, colds, flu, and sinus infections.

Scotch Pine is one of my favorite essential oils and is excellent when combined with German Chamomile and Helichysum for its anti-inflammatory effects.
