Engelmann Spruce Essential Oil (Picea engelmannii)

The Engelmann Spruce tree has been traditionally used in the treatment of respiratory complaints, the treatment of tuberculosis, coughs etc. It was said that if the remedy from Engelmann Spruce did not work, nothing would. Traditionally the ashes of the twigs of the Engelmann Spruce were mixed with oil and used as an ointment to soothe and heal various skin issues. The pitch obtained from the trunk has been used in treating eczema.
