THE POWER OF THE SWISS PINE

The human air circulation and the Swiss pine’s photosynthesis are closely connected. We receive oxygen to breathe from it and thus energy to live. With his studies on this fascinating tree, Maximillian Moser has created new awareness for the interactions between humans and nature and in doing so has brought an almost forgotten attitude towards life back into the present: beds made from Swiss pine ensure restful sleep, class rooms made from Swiss pine enhance the ability to concentrate, and even in the fields of culinary art and medicine the Swiss pine has many uses.

But this robust, altitude- loving conifer is not only native to Central Europe— its relatives can be found from Canada to Korea and almost everywhere in the world.
