100% Pure Black Spruce Resin Spruce sap has a variety of traditional and practical uses, including: 1. **Adhesives and Sealants**: Spruce sap can be used as a natural adhesive or sealant due to its sticky and resinous properties. It's useful for sealing small holes in boats or containers and can act as a natural glue for woodworking. 2. Medicinal. 3. **Chewing Gum**: Spruce sap can be chewed like gum. Indigenous peoples and early settlers often chewed spruce gum as a natural breath freshener and for its dental benefits. 4. **Firestarter**: The sap is highly flammable and can be used as an excellent firestarter. Its resinous nature helps to ignite fires quickly and sustain burning even in damp conditions. 5. **Incense and Fragrance**: When burned, spruce sap produces a pleasant aroma, making it suitable for use as incense or a natural air freshener. 6. **Crafting and Art**: Artists and crafters sometimes use spruce sap in making varnishes, paints, and other art supplies due to its binding properties. These diverse applications highlight the versatility of spruce sap, especially in natural and traditional practices. Harvested and purified here in Newfoundland.
