Could Pine Needle Oil Prevent Or Relieve Common Health Issues?

By Roxanne Batson

The benefits of pine needle oil are incredible and scientifically proven in medical texts and books that document research and testimonials by people who used it.  There are benefits that we cannot even imagine because of improvements in circulation and reduction of toxins due to pine oil's natural anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. 

Improved Circulation

Research suggests that pine needle oil has beneficial effects on the circulatory system especially in the capillaries where the hinge mechanisms that restrict blood from flowing in both directions cease to function as we age.  This leads to a number of ailments that are circulation related such as varicose veins.  This condition is especially pronounced in diabetics who often must have their extremities amputated because of the development of gangrene due to extremely poor circulation. 

There have also been studies that show increased circulation in the cornea.  Will this
lead to increased eyesight longevity or reversal of ocular degenerative diseases?

It's quite possible that hair thinning and balding is related to restricted capillaries.  Pine needle oil may not restore dead follicles, but it may stop the process.  Some documented testimonials indicate that some people have actually had their original hair color restored.

Lowered Blood Pressure

Blood pressure can be positively affected in some people with blood pressure problems.  Members of pine-health.com have reported positive affects on blood pressure after taking pine needle oil.  Interestingly enough, it has lowered blood pressure on several of our members AND raised blood pressure to normal levels on others who were experiencing blood pressure that was too low, seemingly customizing it's results to the users needs.

Anemia and Fatigue

Pine oil contains concentrated chlorophyll.  Chlorophyll is similar in chemical structure to hemoglobin.  The only difference between the two molecules is that the center of chlorophyll contains manganese giving it its green color
and hemoglobin contains iron giving it its red color.  There is some evidence (mainly studies conducted with wheatgrass juice) that there is an exchange of Mn for Fe in the chlorophyll molecule, hence the richening of
blood.  Hemoglobin is the molecule that transports oxygen in the blood.  People with poor iron have experienced dramatic improvement by intake of chlorophyll according to documented research available on the internet.

Hemorrhoids

Several of our members have reported their hemorrhoids disappeared after taking pine needle oil for several days.  We believe this may be due to the improved circulation brought about by pine needle oil.

Sinus and Respiratory Problems

In the United States pine oil is often used in cough medicines as both an expectorant and decongestant.  Due to the anti-inflammatory properties it could reduce the potential for sinus infections.  Improved circulation opens the capillaries, allowing easier breathing for those suffering from respiratory ailments including asthma, as documented in research conducted in Asia, Europe and the US.
