Energetically, Pine has a pronounced effect on the lungs and relates to the element of Metal in TCM. Pine essential oil ‘opens’ the chest, instills positivity and helps to restore self-confidence. It will help disperse melancholy and counteracts pessimism, working to reawaken our instinctive connection to life. It also works to help dispel a negative self-image and feelings of remorse, often prevalent during the holiday season, replacing undue guilt with forgiveness and self-acceptance.
Cedarwood (Juniperis virginiana) can restore a sense of spiritual certainty and reinforces determination and transformational power of the will.

The Conifer oils are opening and energizing, and bring air and light.
