American pioneers made tea from the tree’s leafy twigs and used its branches as brooms. Tea can be made from the needles. The inner bark, which is best in winter and coming into spring, can be eaten raw or boiled; it can also be used to make flour. Hemlock spruce needles are used in teas for cough, bronchitis, common cold, tuberculosis, fever, sore throat, muscle and nerve pain, and arthritis. Used in a diffuser, it can be helpful as a decongestant and expectorant. It has also been used to help fight bacterial infections. Hemlock spruce essential oil is anti-microbial. The aroma is energizing and stimulating when feeling lethargic.

Mystical Intentions: negative thoughts, grounding, calm, harmony, mental balance Smell: A medium, sweet, balsamic and coniferous earthy aroma with light fruity notes Botany, Cultivation & Harvesting: Hemlock Spruce is a coniferous evergreen tree native to eastern North America. Eastern hemlocks are widespread throughout much of the Great Lakes region, the Appalachian Mountains, the Northeastern United States, and Maritime Canada. They have been introduced in the United Kingdom and mainland Europe, where they are used as ornamental trees. It is primarily found on rocky ridges, ravines, and hillsides with relatively high levels of moisture. Precipitation in the areas where it grows is typically 29” to over 50” per year. The lower number is more typical of northern forests that receive heavy snowfall; the higher number is common in southerly areas with high summer rainfall. Eastern hemlocks are long-lived trees, with many living for more than 500 years. They can grow to heights of more than 100 feet with a trunk diameter of up to 5 feet or more, and are tolerant of shade, moist soil, and slopes. It grows well in shade. The trunk is usually straight and monopodial, but very rarely is forked. The crown is broadly conic, while the brownish bark is scaly and deeply fissured, especially with age. The twigs are a yellow-brown in color with darker red-brown pulvini, and are densely pubescent. The buds are ovoid in shape and are very small, measuring 1.5 to 2.5 mm in length. These are usually not resinous, but may be slightly so. The leaves are typically 0.59 to 0.79 inches in length, but may be as short as 0.2” or as long as 1”. The leaves are arranged in little stalks, a characteristic that does not appear in the other evergreen trees. They are flattened and are typically distichous, or two-ranked. The bottom of the leaf is glaucous with two broad and clearly visible stomatal bands, while the top is shiny green to yellow-green in color. The leaf margins are very slightly toothed, especially near the apex. The seed cones are ovoid in shape and typically measure 5/8” – 1” in length and 3/8” – 5/8” in width. The scales are ovate to cuneate in shape and measure 3/8” – 1/2″ in length by 1/4″ – 3/8” in width. The apex is more or less rounded and is often projected outward. Eastern Hemlock Spruce’s preference for partial shade and tolerance of full shade allows it to be planted in areas where other conifers would not easily grow. It prefers sites that are slightly acidic to neutral with nutrient-rich and moist but well-drained soil. It should not be grown on roadsides where salt is used in winter, as its foliage is sensitive to salt spray. It is also poorly adapted as a windbreak tree, as wind exposure causes dieback in winter. It has fairly low tolerance for urban stress and intolerance for very wet or very dry soils. Contraindications & Toxicity: Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Do not use if allergic.
