Medicinal use of spruce resin

Spruce resin has been utilized in Finnish folk medicine for centuries as an ailment which brings aid to many kinds of skin ailments. Spruce resin has scientifically been proven to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.

These healing and protecting properties of spruce resin are based on resin acids and lignans.
