While all other conifers keep their needles year-round, the larch drops them every autumn in a spectacular display of golden colour, only to sprout bright green needles each spring. Native to the Alps and Central European mountains, larch thrives at altitudes of 1,000-2,400 metres. Its wood is exceptionally durable (used for centuries in Alpine construction), and its resin has been valued in folk medicine since antiquity. The essential oil is steam-distilled from the fresh needles and young branches, capturing the aromatic essence of the Alpine forest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- FAQ --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is larch oil mainly used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarch oil is valued for three things: respiratory support during the cold season (the high pinene content supports free breathing), as a calming, grounding room scent (ideal for the evening or meditation), and as a warming massage oil for muscle relaxation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does larch oil differ from other conifer oils?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarch is warmer and more balsamic than spruce or pine. While spruce tends to be sharp and fresh, and pine bright and green, larch has a rounder, more resinous character with a sweet-balsamic depth. It is closer to Swiss stone pine in warmth but has its own distinctive forest character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the larch called \"deciduous conifer\"?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the only European conifer that drops its needles in autumn. This makes it unique in the tree world – a conifer with the seasonal cycle of a deciduous tree. In autumn, larch forests turn golden before the needles fall, and in spring, the bright green new growth is a sign of renewal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use larch oil for steam inhalation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Add 2-3 drops to a bowl of hot (not boiling) water. Lean over the bowl with a towel over your head and inhale gently for 5-10 minutes. Particularly soothing during the cold season. Not suitable for children under 6 or people with asthma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs larch oil suitable for children?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the diffuser, larch oil is generally well tolerated in low doses for children over 6 years. For younger children, consult a professional first. For skin application, always dilute well and perform a patch test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I store the oil?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep away from direct light and heat sources. The amber glass bottle protects the oil from UV radiation. Close tightly after use.
