This is an excellent essential oil to diffuse, not only for the heavenly fragrance and physical benefits but for the energetic ones as well. You may try 3 drops of white pine in 1 tablespoon of fatty base oil like grape seed, coconut, or almond oil, in a warm bath with a handful or two of salt (sea or epson). Try 25 - 50 drops in 1 oz of base oil and rub on sore muscles and joints. 30 drops in 10 ml base oil to help heal open sores and wounds. I am always bashing about outdoors and my legs look I am just learning how to roller skate! I use this essential oil often to help make sure I do not get infected and help accelerate healing. For a topical cleaning mixture for surfaces try, 1 teaspoon of white pine essential oil, 1 tablespoon of rubbing alcohol (or alcohol of choice) and water in a 4 oz spray bottle. It will separate, shake to mix before each use. No guarantee this will help (it is worth a shot) add a few drops to your cloth face coving before venturing out into public.
