Some aromatic plants and products may have a historical use of folkloric nature, but we offer this product as incense and/or botanical curiosa; neither food grade, for consumption nor medical use, unless other is stated. This means that you should contact your doctor even though, for example, frankincense have been used during the Middle Ages as a remedy for bubonic plague. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from children and animals. The snuffs containing tobacco should be used moderately and not daily since tobacco is addictive. The long-term use of tobacco snuff is unknown and should therefore be used with this in mind.

Summary
Common Name: Pine
Scientific name: Pinus sylvestris
Part of the plant: Resin
Origin: Portugal
Scent: Slightly sweet and creamy with a clear forest and wood scent
Usage: Solitary or incense mixtures, scent boxes and sachets, medical & health, perfumery
Magical use & properties: Ceremonial combustion, purification, healing, refreshing and uplifting properties. Pine is used in some contexts for defensive magic
Background
Pine resin, or "Rosin", also known as "Colophony", is the very viscous substance that remains after more volatiles substances are distilled from the resin, obtained from the tree trunk. Rosin is applied to bows of stringed instruments like violins. This gives a sticky surface on the bow that causes the string to resonate and produce sound as it is pulled over the strings.
Pine is cleansing, refreshing and uplifting. Holy to the Druids, and in Celtic times, Pine was one of Ireland's Seven Chieftain Trees. It is supportive and calming for the throat. Pine has been used for a long time, in Europe and in America, and have a variety of health uses. Pine is named "Tree of Peace" by the American Indian Confederation of Iroquois.
Pine has a history of spiritual and inspirational significance in Scotland, where it, already in pre-Christian Celtic and Pictish cultures, was part of the Grant and MacGregor families' clan totems. It was sacred to the druids and has been considered a symbol of long life by many cultures around the world. Pine was first investigated by Hippocrates for its benefits for the respiratory system. Pine is a popular Christmas tree as it grows to 6 meters in just 8 years. It is often used in forest planting, and in erosion control. It is now widely used as a fragrance in many detergents, soaps, bath products and also as a flavoring in both the food and beverage industry.
Pinus sylvestris belongs to a family of evergreen coniferous trees that cover about 90 species growing in the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. This pine grows to a height of 30 meters or more in the northern forests of Europe and grows naturally from Western Europe to Siberia. Pine carries its leaves (fir needles) throughout the year, flowers in May, and the cones mature from March to June.
This plant contains vitamin C, beta carotene, tannins, triterpenes, lignan and resins. There is a high concentration of monoterpenes (between 50-90%), such as pinenes (consisting mainly of alpha-pinene, but also beta-pinene) and limonene (delta limonene). Additional α-cadinol, d-sylvestrene, borneol, boron acetate, dipenten, cardin, longifole and phellandren have been found.
