Balsam Fir Needle essential oil is steam distilled from the needles of the Balsam Fir tree. The aroma brings immediate memories of Christmast for many, as the Fir tree is the most commonly found variety of this holiday conifer. The aroma of this very fluid, clear oil is bright and uplifting, yet also grounding, as evergreen needle oils tend to be.

A a simple aromatic, Fir is highly prized. It may be used in a diffuser or candle lamp to bring that 'forest green' scent to any space. It's overall action is considered stimulating, and can be used to bring alertness to the mind, or diluted and applied topically to the adrenal areas or the body in general it may help general fatigue. This is our favorite all-around aroma for diffuser use!

Fir oil is also indicated as an analgesic, and can be diluted in a carrier oil for massage in cases of arthritis, muscular aches and pains, and rheumatism. It has been included in some cough and cold remedies, and may act as an expectorant - the essential oil has been researched for its ability to kill airborne germs and bacteria.

Blending with other evergreen oils such as Pine, Spruce and Cedarwood can create a wonderful, complex 'deep forest' aroma. Fir essential oil also blends well with Blue Chamomile, Frankincense, Lavender, Lemon, and Myrtle essential oils.
