Pine Essential Oils in general are wonderful supporters of the respiratory system and are grounding. This is also true for Maritime Pine Essential OIl. However, Terebinth essential oil adds a different energetic and chemical aspect to that of which we find in most other pine essential oils. Pine oils are usually distilled from the needles of the pine tree. Terebinth is distilled from the resin and therefore has the energetics to help heal ole emotional trauma.
Pine trees are strong trees - majestic in size. Energetically they are extremely grounding and also assist us in reaching for the sky.

Maritime Pine grows near the water’s edge in coastal regions on the Mediterranean so this essential oil can assist us to stay balanced in the ebb and flow of life just as this pine tree does by the sea.
