Essential Oils
Very abundant in Canada, this pyramidal conifer grows slowly at low altitudes and prefers very moist, fertile soil. It mixes easily with hardwoods, sugar maples, birches, beeches, etc. Its straight trunk is covered with dark brown, reddish bark and all its organs contain resinous essences. The essential oil extracted from its twigs and needles has a woody and slightly acidic aroma.
Hemlock is not just another softwood. Balance, harmony and depth characterise this essential oil. The portrait of a wise man!
