Stone Pine shavings

The agreeable, refreshing fragrance emitted by pine forests on a hot summer day is unmistakable, especially where trees have recently been felled. The wood of the stone pine (Pinus cembra) or Austrian pine, a robust type of pine native to the Alps, has especially fragrant ethereal oils and resins. When used for furniture, the wood gives off the typical tangy aromatic stone pine fragrance long afterwards. According to tests a piece of furniture made from stone pine can have a positive effect on pulse rate and sleep. These shavings are from furniture production. We recommend putting them in an open dish in the clothes closet, on your desk or night table. Many people indeed find the fragrance helpful and calming to fall asleep. If the fragrance fades, just mix the shavings a bit and moisten them slightly.
By the way, moths are not so keen on stone pine fragrance, so the shavings also provide a good protection against them.
