Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (White Pine) — Class 1 (AHP). Strangely,
AHP says, “Regulated in the U.S. as an allowable flavoring agent in alcoholic beverages only”
(AHP). Not covered (KOM; PH2).WHITE SPRUCE, FIR (Picea abies (L.) H. Karsten) ++The data, like the species, are terribly confused: Abies alba Mill., A. pectinata, A. sachalinensis
(F. Schmidt) Mast., A. sibirica Ledeb., Picea abies, P. excelsa (Lam.) Link (synonym of P. abies),
and P. mariana (Mill.) Britton et al., according to KOM and PHR, neither of whom could probably
tell you on the spot which species they were talking about. Their editorial assistants might not
know, if questioned, whether Picea is an angiosperm or a gymnosperm. Some botanists, and fewer
salespersons, chemist, pharmacists, and physicians can tell these species of spruces and firs, or the
needles, or the EOs apart. So, buyer beware. PH2 speaks of the timber as the medicinal part, yet
gives dosage only for the EO. Studying the USDA nomenclature database, suggests that this may
be the European White Spruce, P. glauca (Moench) Voss, or the American White Spruce.
