A very stimulating and aggressive oil.  According to K. Schnaubelt, a blend of black spruce, cedar (atlas) and peppermint applied to the body after shower will mimic the effects of morning coffee for several hours.  External application of oil to kidneys may re-energize exhausted adrenals.  Strong anti-microbic effects. makes it a strong disinfectant  Great room sanitizer and effective to clear the mind and disinfect
Has been referred  to as “Canada’s answer to Ti-tree oil”
Black spruce contains significant amounts of esters (up to 35%), unlike most essential oils obtained from coniferous trees such as cedarleaf, pine or fir which typically contain little or none.  The presence of this exotic chemical family softens the usual harsh effects of coniferous oils and provides for some rather mysterious reactions such as a hypnotic effect when over used.  It is also much more skin friendly although you should always dilute thoroughly before use.
