BACKGROUND
Considered a sacred tree by Native American tribes in the Northwest, it was used traditionally for smudging and purification rites. The 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.
