• HipocondríaCientífico

  Multiple peer-reviewed studies have documented potent antioxidant activity in Picea mariana bark extracts. The bark contains unusually high concentrations of trans-resveratrol and stilbene phytoalexins, alongside flavonoids and proanthocyanidins. A 2017 PMC study confirmed high polyphenol content with strong antioxidant properties.

• ApendicitisCientífico

  In vitro studies using polyphenol-rich extracts of Picea mariana bark have demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity via NF-κB pathway suppression and inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-8. The bark extract contains trans-resveratrol, taxifolin, and stilbene phytoalexins known for anti-inflammatory properties. These findings are preclinical; no human clinical trials have been conducted.

• Trastorno por Déficit de AtenciónCientífico

  A PMC-indexed animal study (2024) specifically investigated Picea mariana essential oil in a reserpine-induced mouse model of depression. PMEO significantly improved depressive behaviors and was associated with upregulation of serotonin receptors (5HT-1A, 5HT-2A) and reduction of brain nerve injury. This is preclinical evidence only.

• Dolor de cabeza (en racimos)Científico

  A peer-reviewed study (PMID 24189030, Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2013) tested Picea mariana bark polyphenol extract on psoriatic keratinocytes and demonstrated inhibition of NF-κB pathway and suppression of key pro-inflammatory mediators. This is the strongest direct scientific evidence for any dermatological indication of black spruce.

• Enfermedad de CrohnCientífico

  A published study in the Journal of Essential Oil Bearing Plants (2023) investigated Picea mariana essential oil in a mouse insomnia model, measuring sleep latency, duration, and neurochemical markers. PMEO showed hypnotic effects associated with modulation of 5-HT1A and GABA-A receptor pathways. This is preclinical evidence only.

• Acidez EstomacalTradicional

  Black spruce essential oil is used in aromatherapy for anxiety and stress relief. Its bornyl acetate content is associated with calming and sedating properties.

Its constituents bornyl acetate and α-pinene have published anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective activity in cell and animal models relevant to arthritic conditions. The British Herbal Pharmacopoeia and aromatherapy tradition support this use.

• EdemaTradicional

  Black spruce is used in aromatherapy for asthma support. It is listed in the Encyclopedia of Essential Oils for asthma and cough, and referenced in the British Herbal Pharmacopoeia for respiratory indications. Bornyl acetate has published anti-inflammatory activity in lung models. Care is needed as α-pinene may be a mild irritant for sensitive individuals.

• AlcalosisTradicional

  Black spruce resin has been traditionally smeared on the chest and its needles used in teas and inhalations to address bronchial diseases and coughs. The essential oil is rich in camphene and bornyl acetate, which are considered expectorant and mucolytic. The British Herbal Pharmacopoeia and aromatherapy traditions cite it for bronchial congestion.

• EndometriosisTradicional

  Bronchitis is listed in multiple pharmacopoeia and aromatherapy references for black spruce. Its mucolytic (camphene), expectorant, and anti-inflammatory properties (bornyl acetate) are well established in traditional herbalism. The School of Aromatic Studies specifically lists it for bronchitis.

• Enfermedad de AlzheimerTradicional

  Black spruce resin has a documented traditional use for treating burns. Ethnobotanical records cited in peer-reviewed literature confirm that the resin was mixed with oil and applied to 'bad burns.' Native American healers used resin-based salves for burn management.

• AmenorreaTradicional

  Black spruce is extensively used in aromatherapy for calm and relaxation. Bornyl acetate, its dominant ester, is associated with calming and sedating action. The preclinical sleep and depression studies support neurochemical mechanisms relevant to relaxation.

• Virus de Epstein BarrTradicional

  Black spruce is widely used in aromatherapy for chronic fatigue and low energy, attributed to its cortisol-supporting, adrenal-toning, and stimulating properties. Peter Holmes (Aromatica) and Kurt Schnaubelt (Advanced Aromatherapy) both document it for fatigue and burnout. Conifer phytoncide research documents effects on chronic fatigue.

• ArritmiaTradicional

  Black spruce is listed in traditional aromatherapy and pharmacopoeia sources for colds, flu, and respiratory weakness. Its essential oil's antimicrobial and expectorant properties support its traditional use for symptomatic relief of cold and flu. No controlled human trials have been performed.

• Trastornos AutoinmunesTradicional

  The British Herbal Pharmacopoeia lists black spruce as helpful for diarrhea. This is a documented pharmacopoeia-level traditional use. No clinical studies have investigated this indication specifically.

• Bultos en el SenoTradicional

  The British Herbal Pharmacopoeia lists black spruce for gingivitis, constituting a formal pharmacopoeia-level traditional use. Indigenous peoples in Europe also reportedly used black spruce for gum and oral conditions. No clinical periodontal trials have been published.

• Quimioterapia (reducción de efectos secundarios)Tradicional

  Traditional Indigenous and aromatherapy sources cite black spruce for lung conditions including coughs, asthma, and bronchitis. The essential oil constituents — particularly camphene and bornyl acetate — have mucolytic and anti-inflammatory properties relevant to lung health. Preclinical data on bornyl acetate supports anti-inflammatory action in lung tissue.

• Manos y Pies FríosTradicional

  Black spruce essential oil is traditionally used as an expectorant and mucolytic to clear mucus and phlegm. Its camphene content is specifically noted as a mucolytic agent. Aromatherapy references widely document this use for catarrh and congestion.

• Resfriados (descongestionante)Tradicional

  Black spruce is traditionally used for muscular aches, tension, and soreness. Its constituent bornyl acetate has analgesic and antispasmodic properties. Historically, the Lakota and other Indigenous peoples used it for muscular pain. The aromatherapy literature widely supports its use in massage blends for this purpose.

• ConjuntivitisTradicional

  Black spruce is used in aromatherapy tradition as a restorative and tonic after illness. References describe its 'restorative effect' for energy during convalescence and its adaptogenic profile for chronic weakness. Indigenous bark and resin preparations addressed fatigue following hard exertion.

• Corazón (debilidad)Tradicional

  Black spruce is listed in aromatherapy references for sciatica, together with arthritis and rheumatism, based on its analgesic, antispasmodic, and anti-inflammatory properties. This is a traditional aromatherapy use without clinical trial support.

• Tos (general)Tradicional
