History of using pine oil
Pine is easily recognized as a “Christmas tree”, but it is also commonly grown for its resin-rich wood and is therefore ideal for use as a fuel, as well as for making bitumen, tar and turpentine, materials traditionally used in construction and painting.
In folk tales, the height of the pine tree led to its symbolic reputation as a tree that loves sunlight and always grows taller in order to catch packets. This is a common belief in many cultures, which also refer to him as the “lord of light” and the “torch tree”. Accordingly, in the Corsica region, it is burned as a spiritual offering so that a source of light can be emitted from it. In some Native American tribes, the tree is called the “keeper of the sky.”
In history, pine tree needles were used as a mattress filler, as they were believed to have the ability to protect against fleas and lice. In ancient Egypt, pine nuts, known as pine nuts, were used in culinary applications. The needles were also chewed to protect against scurvy. In ancient Greece, it was believed that doctors like Hippocrates used pine to treat respiratory ailments. For other applications, the bark of the tree has also been used for its ability to reduce symptoms of the common cold, soothe inflammation and headaches, soothe sores and infections, and relieve respiratory discomforts.
