JUST A DROP OF IDAHO BLUE SPRUCE...
Idaho Blue Spruce is a great place to start when it comes to ‘tree' oils. It is woodsy, yet sweet and pairs well with so many other oils to create lovely diffuser blends, roller recipes and DIYs.
Besides smelling wonderful, Idaho Blue Spruce is a powerful emotional tool for releasing blocks and promoting feelings of balance. It has respiratory support properties as well, especially when paired with other lung-loving oils like Lemon and R.C. or Raven. Idaho Blue Spruce can be used with Frankincense for soothing the skin or with oils like Copaiba or M-Grain to support the body's response to inflammation and injury. It is well known for promoting relaxation, grounding the mind, and supporting tired muscles. Talk about a versatile oil!
BACKGROUND Considered a sacred tree by Native American tribes in the Northwest, it was used traditionally for smudging and purification rites. Spruce leaves, bark, and gum have been used historically by Native Americans for many things - spiritual ceremonies, physical health, poultices, digestive needs, immune support, and more. The oil is steam distilled from the wood, bark, and needles of the Picea pungens tree, an evergreen species native to the central Rocky Mountains. It is produced at the Young Living Highland Flats Tree Farm and Distillery in Naples, Idaho.
KEY CONSTITUENTS Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them sprecic health-supporting properties
IDAHO BLUE SPRUCE + TESTOSTERONE Idaho Blue Spruce is an excellent oil for men as it helps balance and support hormone levels, specifically testosterone. Idaho Blue Spruce is especially effective for reaching the pineal gland of the brain. This small but extremely important control switch plays a big role in hormone secretion, and regulation of mood, sleep patterns, and sexual development. Because of this and because of its unique constituent profile, Blue Spruce is supportive of maintaining healthy testosterone, growth hormone and other hormone levels. This incredible oil doesn't simply ‘replace' testosterone like conventional options. It supports the body's own production of hormones which is a much better way to approach the need. And it's not just for men - women can use Idaho Blue Spruce as well!
Blue Spruce Essential Oil has many health benefits, including boosting Testosterone production. Dr. Dan Purser conducted a trial which had the males subjects ingest 8 drops of Blue Spruce Essential Oil within a capsule once daily. The subjects showed an increase of 30% in Testosterone levels after only two weeks, & some subjects showed up to 100% increased levels after 4 weeks. The subjects reported increased physical & mental performance in line with their new higher testosterone levels a year later.
IDAHO BLUE SPRUCE + EMOTIONS adapted from Carissa Sherman Idaho Blue Spruce can be incredibly useful for releasing trauma, by applying to the tops of the feet, between where the big toe and second toe meet. As we mentioned earlier, Idaho Blue Spruce is especially effective at accessing the pineal gland, the seat of memory, mood and emotions. We can intentionally use Idaho Blue Spruce to release stored trauma and emotions that are holding us back and creating physical health problems. A great place to start is the book ‘Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential OIls' by Carolyn Mein
