Pinus mugo is a very common plant above all in our Alps and a plant from which a unique fragrance is obtained: discover about Pinus mugo properties and use of its essential oil and our tips.

The Pinus mugo (or Mountain Pine or Mugo Pine tree) is a tree that grows abundantly in Central Europe, particularly in Tyrol, in pre-Alps and Alps areas of Switzerland, in Austria, northern Italy, the ex-Yugoslavia and generally in the Balkans.

The parts of Pinus mugo used for the production of essential oil are the leaves and the young branches, which are distilled in a current of steam. The collection areas for distillation are above 1300 m asl and below 2000 m asl. The tree is protected in many areas and exploitable only at certain times of the year, at a certain altitude and in a regulated manner.

Although it is part of the class of coniferous oils with low ester content, mountain pine oil is characteristic and differs in aroma from other pine needle oils, due to the low percentage presence of some particularly fragrant compounds.

This unique balsamic Mountain Pine (Pinus Mugo) essential oil has been extracted from a protected alpine pine species.

Properties:

The quality of the balsamic essential oil offers an antiseptic, antiviral and antimicrobial action, mucolytic and expectorant. It is also used as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic, to relieve muscle pain. 

Usage and tips:

• The most common method of use is in a diffuser, thanks to the very particular and sought-after scent: fresh but resinous. It purifies the air and helps facilitate the respiratory processes.

• To relieve dry coughs add a couple of drops to about 2 litres of boiling water and breathe deeply.

The Pino Mugo is the only conifer resistant to the extreme climate of the alpine areas and can be found between 1200 and 2700 meters.

Native pine oil from Atelier Nativa comes from carefully selected areas and is 100% manually cultivated. This cultivation has been authorized by the Veneto region governing forest body at 2000 meters on Mount Toraro (VI) and on the Asiago plateau (VI) and implemented by a local company. We have chosen this local company as a partner for its ethical and responsible practices, which help to maintain the balance of the ecosystem of the Pre-Alps and the small Vicenza Dolomites.

Processing:

A few hours after cutting, the needles and small twigs are put into the distiller, to ensure maximum freshness and keep the intense resinous perfume intact.

To get the oil that you find in the bottle it requires about 10kg of fresh branches.

HISTORY OF USE

Essential Oil Pinus Mugo 2

Pinus mugo, known as mountain pine, dwarf mountain pine, scrub mountain pine, Swiss mountain pine, mugo pine or creeping pine, is a species of conifer, native to high elevation habitats from southwestern to Central Europe.  Pinus mugo is native to the Pyrenees, Alps, Erzgebirge, Carpathians, northern Apennines, and higher Balkan Peninsula mountains.

Throughout its range, in European folk medicine, a turpentine distillate extracted from the needles and young wood has been taken internally to treat soar throats, bronchitis, & heart & renal disease, and applied externally for muscle pain & rheumatism.

Sap or needle extract of all species of pine throughout the northern hemisphere have analgesic and antimicrobial properties, and have been used as natural cough remedies virtually everywhere in the world where pines are found. Mugo turpentine is also used as a varnish & for other products.

In Bulgaria mugo pine is called Klek, “Prostrate,” & the resinous sap is used by mountain people to brew a pleasing nearly vanilla-scented tea. The sap can be extracted by “tapping” a living tree, but is rarely obtained in sufficient quantities to have a commercial value beyond folk use.

The resin does have commercial uses as a by-product of distilling the needles and young wood to separate the turpentine. The remaining resinous matter is called rosen, traditionally used for violin bows and as a sealing wax.

Wood of the mugo is very hard by right of its slow growth, and was once commonly used to make wooden clogs.

HEALTH BENEFITS

Although pure pinus mugo oil should only be used in vapour therapy, it can be most useful to help with bronchitis, catarrh, colds, flu and other respiratory ailments.

Precautions

Pinus mugo oil can be a dermal irritant and sensitizer and should therefore be used on the skin with some care in dilution, yet can be used in vapour therapy.
