Pine needle oil may be composed of oils from different pine species such as Pinus elliottii, Pinus palustris, Pinus taeda, Pinus serotina and Pinus clausa.
Pine Oil is generally used as a fragrance ingredient in soaps and perfumes.

Pine oil is an essential oil obtained by the steam distillation of stumps,needles, twigs and cones from a variety of species of pine, particularly Pinus sylvestris.
As of 1995, synthetic pine oil was the "biggest single turpentine derivative." Synthetic pine oils accounted for 90% of sales as of 2000.

Pine Oil is used as a cleaning product, disinfectant, sanitizer, microbicide (or microbistat), virucide or insecticide.
Pine Oil is an effective herbicide where its action is to modify the waxy cuticle of plants, resulting in desiccation.

Pine Oil is also used as a lubricant in small and expensive clockwork instruments.

Pine Oil alternative medicine it is used in aromatherapy and as a scent in bath oils.

Pine oil is distinguished from other products from pine, such as turpentine, the low-boiling fraction from the distillation of pine sap, pine tar, and rosin, a resin remaining after turpentine is distilled.

Chemically, pine oil consists mainly of α-terpineol and other cyclic terpene alcohols.
Pine Oil may also contain terpene hydrocarbons, ethers, and esters. The exact composition depends on various factors, such as the variety of pine from which it is produced and the parts of the tree used.

Pine oil is a disinfectant that is mildly antiseptic.

Essential oils are increasingly gaining mainstream popularity as possible alternatives to medications.
These plant-derived ingredients are still being studied for their medicinal effects, and pine oil is no exception.
Made from pine trees, pine essential oil offers numerous purported health benefits and is notable for its strong woody scent.
While pine tree oil may offer some benefits, there’s also possible side effects to consider, just like with any other type of essential oil.
Learn the pros and cons so that you can best decide whether pine tree essential oil is worth trying.

What is pine essential oil?
Pine essential oil is a derivative of pine tree needles, which are known for their strong aroma.
In fact, one sniff of pine oil might remind you of a Christmas tree.

As with other essential oils, pine has been used in traditional medicine for centuries.

Pine scents and oil extracts are also abundant in everyday items.
These include floor and furniture cleaners, as well as disinfectants and air fresheners.
However, oil extracts are not the same as essential oils because they don’t carry the same medicinal-strength properties.
Essential oils contain multiple chemical compounds that make them so powerful.
As such, essential oils shouldn’t be ingested.

Pine oil uses and benefits
Due to its aroma, pine essential oil is notable for its uplifting yet clearing scent.
Because of this, pine essential oil can work as a room scent in a diffuser as well as in cleaning solutions.

The internet is full of anecdotes and articles that claim pine essential oil can offer more health benefits than just a nice scent.
However, most of these claims lack clinical evidence.

Air fresheners and aromatherapy
Pine oil extracts are often used in air fresheners for homes, offices, and vehicles.
Essential oils, on the other hand, may be used in aromatherapy to create an uplifting and invigorating atmosphere — not just a nice scent.

Inhaling oils like pine may also have clearing effects in the case of illnesses like the common cold.

Skin antimicrobial
Some proponents claim that pine essential oil may be used topically (applied to the skin) as an antimicrobial, similar to tea tree oil. In theory, the oil could be used for minor skin infections and burns.

However, research indicates that pine oil doesn’t have much antimicrobial activity.
Talk to a doctor before using pine oil for this purpose.

Reduced inflammation
Pine essential oil is also touted as having anti-inflammatory effects.

Pine Oil theory, such effects could do two things:

Ease symptoms of inflammatory skin conditions, such as acne, eczema, and rosacea.
Alleviate pain from related health conditions, such as arthritis and muscle pain.
However, more research is needed on this front.

Other essential oils have in fact been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. These include:

turmeric
ginger
frankincense
peppermint
Side effects of pine oil
When used in aromatherapy, essential oils can have effects on those who inhale them.

However, some essential oils are toxic to pets or dangerous for pregnant women and children.
It’s also possible to have skin reactions to these oils, including pine essential oil.

Possible side effects include:

redness
hives
itchiness
dry skin
swelling
peeling skin
If you are allergic to pine trees, don’t use pine oil. While not considered common, some people are allergic to pine pollen.
You might be allergic to pine essential oil if you develop allergy-like symptoms, such as sneezing or skin rashes.

Use a diffuser
Diffusing is one of the most popular ways to use essential oils.

You can make a quick, safe room scent by putting a few drops of pine essential oil into a diffuser filled with water.
Once the device is turned on, the diffuser then releases cool steam.

Inhale it
If you don’t have a diffuser on hand, you may still reap the aromatic benefits of pine essential oil through inhalation.
Simply pour a couple of drops on a tissue, and hold the tissue in front of your face while you inhale deeply through your nose.
You can also try holding the bottle of essential oil underneath your nose.
Apply it topically
Pine essential oil may be used topically, either through direct application or via a massage.
Pine Oil important to dilute pine essential oil with a carrier oil before applying directly to your skin.
Add a tablespoon of almond, jojoba, or coconut oil to a few drops of pine essential oil.
You can also use this combination for a patch test 24 hours beforehand to make sure you’re not sensitive to pine.
Add some to your bath
Essential oils can also be used in the bath. Add several drops of the essential oil to warm running water.
Watch for slippery surfaces as you get in and out of the tub.

Precautions
Essential oils like pine are appealing because of their “natural” allure.
However, these plant derivatives are powerful enough to mimic the effects of conventional medicine.

This is why it’s always a good idea to talk to a doctor before using them, especially if you’re pregnant or have any preexisting health condition.

The best way to reduce the risk of side effects is to take safety precautions before using pine essential oil:
Don’t use essential oils near your eyes.
Make sure to combine your essential oils with a carrier oil.
Never take essential oils by mouth.

Highest Quality Pure & Natural Pine Essential Oil - Our Pine Oil is 100% pure, undiluted, all-natural, and therapeutic grade.
Every drop of this Pine essential oil is steam-extracted right from the source without any additives or harmful chemicals.

Pine oil, essential oil consisting of a colourless to light amber liquid of characteristic odour obtained from pine trees, or a synthetic oil similar in aroma and other properties. Pine oil is used as a solvent for gums, resins, and other substances. It has germicidal properties and is employed medically as a principal constituent of general disinfectants. It is also used in odorants, insecticides, detergents, wetting and emulsifying agents, wax preparations, and antifoaming agents and in textile scouring and the flotation process for refining lead and zinc ores.

Pitch-soaked wood of the pine tree, principally Pinus palustris but also certain other species of the family Pinaceae, is subjected to steam distillation, solvent extraction followed by steam distillation, or destructive distillation to obtain the pine oil, which boils at 200°–220° C (390°–430° F).

A variety of similar pine oils are obtained by distillation of cones and needles of various species of pines or by extraction from the stumps using solvents and steam. Synthetic pine oil is produced by conversion of terpene hydrocarbons into terpene alcohols.

Chemically, pine oils consist principally of cyclic terpene alcohols and are used in the manufacture of chemicals.
Pine oil is insoluble in water but dissolves in alcohol and other organic solvents.

Pine Oils and Turpentine
Pine oils, derived by steam distillation of wood from pines, consist of a mixture of terpene alcohols. Pine oil–based compounds may contain small amounts of phenol derivatives. The concentration of pine oil in disinfectant cleaners varies from 0.3% to 60%.18 Many “pine oil” cleaners marketed in the United States are pine scented but contain little or no actual pine oil, so it is important to check the label on pine-scented cleaners. Pine Sol, one of the most widely used pine oil cleaners, contains 8% to 12% pine oil, 3% to 7% alkyl alcohol ethoxylates, 1% to 5% isopropanol, and 1% to 5% sodium petroleum sulfonate in its “Original” formulation19; other cleaners branded as Pine Sol contain no pine oil. Turpentine is a hydrocarbon mixture of terpenes derived from pine oil rather than petroleum and is often applied as a paint thinner.

The oral LD50 of pine oil ranges from 1 to 2.7 mL/kg BW. A substantially lower dose results in severe toxicosis.2 Pine oil is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is metabolized by the liver to be excreted in urine as glucuronide conjugates. High concentrations of ingested pine oil are demonstrable in lung tissue, lending a characteristic pine or turpentine odor to the breath.18 As is true for phenolic compounds, cats are more susceptible than other species to pine oil toxicoses.20

Pine oils are directly irritating to mucous membranes, producing erythema of the oropharynx, mouth, and skin.
Ocular exposure causes marked blepharospasm, epiphora, photosensitivity, and erythema of the conjunctiva and sclera.
Ingestion results in nausea, hypersalivation, bloody vomiting, and abdominal pain.
Systemic effects include weakness and CNS depression, ataxia, hypotension, and respiratory depression.
Pulmonary toxicity is due to aspiration during ingestion or from emesis or may be due to chemical pneumonitis from absorption of the pine oil through the gastrointestinal tract with subsequent deposition in the lung.
Myoglobinuria and acute renal failure may develop following massive ingestions.
A cat that ingested 100 mL of undiluted Pine Sol had severe depression, ataxia, unresponsive pupils, and shock, and died within 12 hours.20 Pulmonary edema, acute centrilobular hepatic necrosis, and total renal cortical necrosis were present at necropsy examination.

Prompt dilution with milk, egg white, or water should occur following ingestion of pine oil disinfectants.
Because of rapid onset of depression and the danger of aspiration pneumonia, emesis is often contraindicated, and even gastric lavage with placement of a cuffed endotracheal tube poses risk.
Dilution should be followed by the administration of activated charcoal and a saline or osmotic cathartic.
Symptomatic and supportive care, consisting of maintenance of renal perfusion and acid-base and electrolyte balance, is crucial.
Animals that have their dermis exposed should be bathed with soap and then rinsed with copious amounts of water as soon as feasible after the exposure.

Pine Oil Disinfectants
Toxicokinetics
Pine oil is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and metabolized, with glucuronide conjugation, in the liver. Inhalation, or systemic distribution, of absorbed pine oil to the lungs may cause chemical pneumonitis. Conjugates are excreted in the urine, although if a large amount has been ingested, there may be a pine or turpentine odor to the breath. The LD50 of pine oil is in the range 1–2.5 mL/kg BW. Cats, because of their limited capacity for glucuronidation, are particularly susceptible to toxicosis.

Mode(s) of Action
Pine oil is directly irritating to mucous membranes, and is also a central nervous system (CNS) and respiratory depressant.

Clinical Signs
Clinical signs include nausea, hypersalivation, vomiting, and evidence of abdominal pain. Vomitus may contain blood. Systemic clinical signs include CNS depression, weakness, ataxia, hypotension, respiratory depression, pneumonitis, pulmonary edema, myoglobinuria, renal failure, and hepatic failure.

Clinical signs of ocular exposure are those of blepharospasm, epiphora and injected conjunctiva, and sclera.

Treatment
Administer egg white, milk, and/or water to dilute the toxicant. Induction of emesis is contraindicated and gastric lavage is hazardous and unlikely to be justified. Activated charcoal may be helpful. Acid–base and electrolyte balance should be monitored, and renal perfusion maintained. Care for other clinical signs is symptomatic and supportive.
Animals that have been subject to dermal exposure should be washed with copious water and with soap. Ocular exposure should be treated with irrigation with physiological saline or water for at least 20 minutes.
Prognosis
Prognosis depends on magnitude of exposure and aggressiveness of treatment, but may be poor to hopeless if there is extensive renal and/or hepatic damage.
Necropsy
Lesions may include pulmonary edema, pneumonitis, renal cortical necrosis, and centrilobular hepatic necrosis.
Public Health Considerations
Pine oil poses the same risk to human beings, especially preschool children, as it does to domestic pets.
Prevention
Pine oil and pine oil-based compounds should be stored out of reach of small children or pets, and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s directions.

Disinfecting liquid all purpose cleaners
One of the other advantages of pine oil in an all purpose cleaner is that it can also function as a disinfecting ingredient, although it is not very broad spectrum and requires fairly high concentrations as compared to other disinfectants.
Pine oil acts as a dual purpose ingredient, participating in both cleaning and disinfecting.
This is in contrast to quaternary ammonium surfactants, “quats” that do not participate in cleaning and can actually hamper it by interacting with anionic surfactants. However, quats do remain the most popular disinfecting choice for all purpose cleaners.
In general anionic surfactants are not combined with the quats because quats decrease the cleaning effectiveness of the anionics and, the interaction with the anionics can deactivate the disinfection action of the quats.
Therefore, disinfecting all purpose cleaners are generally based on nonionic or amphoteric surfactants.
Hypochlorite bleach is also a popular choice, but, as noted in other sections, it is so chemically aggressive that only soap or amine oxide surfactants can be combined with it to create a cleaning formulation.
On the positive side, hypochlorite bleach is broad spectrum, as its mechanism of chemically attacking organic structures via oxidization makes essentially all organisms vulnerable.
However, bleach, like other antimicrobials, is much less effective on porous surfaces.
defines the pros and cons of different disinfecting ingredients.

The Pinus sylvestris tree, also known as Scotch pine, is a tall coniferous evergreen tree that grows to the height of 131 feet and has characteristic orange-red bark and stiff blue-green needles.

What Is Pine Oil?

Pine oil is a colorless to pale-yellow essential oil that may have a fresh, balsamic or turpentine-like odor, depending on its source.
Pine Oil should not be confused with pine nut oil (also referred to as pine seed oil), which is a vegetable oil commonly used for cooking.

Pine nut oil is derived from the seeds of the pine tree, whereas pine oil is extracted from the needle-like foliage of pine trees through steam distillation.
Several species of pine are used to extract pine oil, some of which include

Dwarf pine needle (Pinus mugo) — A tall and shrub-like tree harvested from the Swiss Alps.
In Europe, this plant is used to help alleviate skin and scalp diseases.
Long leaf pine or turpentine (Pinus palustris) — This tree, which can grow up to 150 feet, originates from the United States and is widely used for the distillation of American gum spirits of turpentine.
Scotch pine or Norway pine (Pinus sylvestris) — This high, evergreen tree has a reddish-brown and deeply fissured bark that grows pairs of long, stiff needles.
Largely produced in the Baltic states, the essential oil from this species is a hypertensive, tonic stimulant.

Benefits of Pine Oil

Pine oil has antimicrobial, antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic and antirheumatic properties.
Pine Oil works as a good decongestant and expectorant for respiratory ailments as well.
Pine oil is also valued for its ability to help:

Soothe muscular stiffness
Ease rheumatic pain
Speed up wound healing
Protect against airborne pathogenic microorganisms, like Aspergillus and Penicillium genera fungi
Fight against free radicals with its antioxidant properties
Pine oil is also a natural analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent,which makes it a potential substitute for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that come with many side effects.

Uses of Pine Oil

Pine oil is not only valued for its health benefits, but also for its practical uses.
Pine Oil essential oil can be used as:

Fragrance — You can use a few drops of pine oil as fragrance when making your own soaps, detergents, lotions, candles and ointments.16,17,18

Insect repellant — To protect your wool sweaters from moths and other insects, pour 10 drops of pine oil onto small pieces of untreated wood.
Place the pieces of wood in your closets or drawers.

Air freshener — Eliminate the awful smell of cigarettes and stale air by adding four drops of pine oil to a cup of water.
Pour the mixture in a spray bottle, shake it well and spray it to instantly freshen up your room. Avoid spraying it on furniture.

Massage oil before and after exercise — Create your own pre- and post-workout massage oil to inhibit or soothe strained muscles.
Add three drops of pine oil, juniper berry oil and rosemary oil in 2 ounces of jojoba oil.

Composition of Pine Oil

Pine oil is composed primarily of terpene alcohols. Its major component is a-terpineol, but it also contains the monoterpenes carene, a-pinene, β-pinene and limonene. Pine Oil also has dipentene, a-terpinene, borneol, borny acetate and camphene, among others.

How to Make Pine Oil infusion

Pine essential oil is obtained through steam distillation of fresh pine tree twigs and needles.
Sometimes sawdust from the hard wood is also used. 21 For a simpler mixture, however, you can make an infusion oil.
To make your own infused pine oil at home, follow this easy do-it-yourself guide from Leaf

Procedure

Harvest fresh pine needles from a pine tree. Do not use pine needles that have fallen to the ground, as they may grow molds and spoil your essential oil.
Wash the pine needles with warm water and mild detergent soap to remove impurities. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with clean paper towels.
Using a mortar and pestle, gently bruise the pine needles.
