Pine Oil’s disinfecting properties mean it is an effective cleaning agent in its own right, often found in sprays, wood polishes, and multipurpose cleaners. The essence of Pine is extracted from the needles of the  Pinus Sylvestris tree. Also referred to as the Scotch, or Baltic Pine, this evergreen coniferous tree is native to Eurasia. The Scotch Pine can live for hundreds of years, with the oldest on record being a 760-year-old tree in Lapland, Finland. Historically speaking, the Pine tree has been used by Native Americans for hundreds of years. They drank the needles and bark (which are full of vitamin C) in tea to both prevent scurvy and aid respiratory symptoms and even stuffed needles in mattresses to help repel insects. Today, Pine Oil is now most common cleaning product. Scotch Pine Essential Oil Benefits: Component Breakdown a-Pinene: As its name indicates, a-Pinene is an aromatic terpene smelling strongly of Pine. It is common to coniferous trees and is a common odorant. A compilation of studies indicates a-Pinene to be an active anti-microbial agent, as well as an anti-inflammatory, though more research needs to be done on its bioavailability. It's one of the main components that contribute a huge share to Scotch Pine Essential Oil benefits. b-Pinene: b-pinene is a monoterpene that occurs naturally in the Scotch Pine. Like its counterpart, a-pinene, it is aromatic and smells strongly of pine. Studies indicate it also shares similar benefits, appearing to be effective as an antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer agent, among other things. However, as with a-pinene, more research is necessary to confirm its tangible use. delta-3-Carene: delta-3-carene is an aromatic monoterpene, and its use is common in the perfume industry. It is a colorless liquid with a sweet, earthy aroma, similar to Pine. Most Scotch Pine Essential Oil benefits are dependent on this chemical component. b-Phellandrene: Another monoterpene, b-phellandrene, plays a role as a plant metabolite. The aroma of this compound is a mix of citrus and mint, and it is common in fragrances. delta-Cadinene: delta-cadinene is a sesquiterpene and flavoring agent, often used in condiments, spices, and seasonings. Its aroma is of medium strength and reminiscent of herbs and wood. Camphene: A common monoterpene, camphene is frequently used in fragrances. Its aroma is very pungent, smelling strong
