Botanical name: Pinus Sylvestris
The forest pine is an evergreen, retinoid tree and is native to Europe and Asia. In Greece it is found in the mountains of northern Greece. It needs light to grow while at the same time it is resistant to moisture. It can reach a height between 3 and 80 meters.
The "pitis" of the ancients (the Aleppo pine) was the favorite tree of Rhea, the mother of the Gods and daughter of Heaven and Earth, because it symbolized the connection between heaven and earth.
Extraction Method
The essential oil of the pine is obtained by distillation from its pine needles. Distillation is a delicate process requiring experience and constant supervision in order to obtain a high-quality oil. Our chemists and perfumers undertake this delicate process to obtain high quality essential oils. During the steam distillation process, steam passes through the plant material. The combination of heated steam and gentle pressure causes the essential oil to be released from microscopic protective sacs flooding the air with the most beautiful and exquisite natural scents.
Our equipment ensures the best quality of essential oil. It takes 100 kg of herbs to make 1 lt of essential oil. We produce Dittany essential oil in a worldwide exclusivity, as well as a wide range of rare essential oils from flowers and herbs in our distillery in Agios Nikolaos, Crete. An “essencier” or separator collects the floral water or hydrosol and the essential oil. The difference in density between the two liquids makes it easy to separate the essential oil from the floral water.
Properties
The characteristic smell of pine is due to pinion.
It also contains borneol, an ingredient that exhibits both anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects. Borneol has a menthol-like aroma and is used as a sedative. Borneol can help relieve pain because of its anti-inflammatory properties without causing depression.
Pine has antiseptic, diuretic, expectorant, anti-catarrhal, antioxidant and tonic properties.
